BLESSINGS
Count Them. Receive Them. ... ... To What End? What do you actually do with a blessing? Is a Blessing like winning the lottery? We pray and lay out our needs/wants like a child's list to Santa. An "answered prayer" (one that meets our qualifications :/) gets an...
HARD IS NOT THE PROBLEM … IT’S THE PATH (Sophia Self)
All Roads Go Back To Running My greatest teacher ... The Run. Some of the most valuable lessons learned were courtesy of sweat and effort and exhaustion, thinking and rethinking through and then executed, some times with a win, some times with a loss, all times with a...
SUNRISE/SUNSET
Swiftly Fly The Years A universal truth ... no matter what you do or don't do, what happens to you, or how you feel ... Life Goes On. Movement is constantly occurring. There is no stopping life for a commercial break/intermission. You're evolving through your...

TRANSITIONS
Passing The Baton A fast, efficient start off the blocks: essential - A great finish: no letting up - But by far the trickiest and most crucial aspect of a relay race lies in a smooth pass of the baton. Not just for the obvious physical flow of the run, a seamless...
LITTLE BY LITTLE
I'm Changing; I'm Growing Reverberating in my ears ... Sweetheart and I found ourselves singing this song out loud at least once a day when working on tasks, smiling while remembering our granddaughter's perfectly out-of-tune voice. This principle when belted out,...
COME HOME
Aren't you tired? Of pushing through, fighting on, and proving relevance. It's not a building or a place; it's more of a space ... in the soul ... where recognition gives peace, familiarity gives comfort ... where being known brings a whole different level of ease....
