Wrapping Paper
Think of the most beautifully wrapped gift you’ve ever received. Did it live up to the expectations you had after seeing the wrapping? Were you misled by the outward beauty and you felt let down by the gift inside? Now think of your best friend. Are they a beautifully wrapped gift all the time? Just…
Elon Musk
Elon Musk. As of January 10, 2021 he was the richest man in the world. All I need is 1 (one) million dollars and I would be free to use my talents to help others that truly need that lift to help themselves. I can only imagine what he can do with billions. Wow. I…
Touch Your Nose and Hop on One Foot
Simon Says. Most have played this game in one context or another. It was fun when we were small and even into our preteen and teenage years. It was so fun to play with friends. Simon Says, take two steps forward … Simon Says, touch your nose … hop on one foot … awwwwww, if…
The Blade to the Wrist for Words

NaNoWriMo Prep

Me, Myself and I
I battle depression and anxiety daily … hourly … by the minute. God has helped me find His grace and become settled enough to give grace to others. I do take medications due to surgeries and missing hormones, but I am not a victim to the depression and anxiety as I once have been. That’s…
The Sheets and The Armor
Sheets of Armor is a phrase that somehow makes some think of a level of protection that is strong. This is what God showed me to be an accurate depiction of how society is a “show me” society. Faith is considered a weakness since there is no hard evidence that can be felt, seen, tasted,…
