New Life

Yesterday afternoon I stepped away from volunteering activities to try and disconnect a bit. I went to the local nursery and picked up a few mums and a replacement plant for a cactus that was on our lanai and had definitely seen better days. Many of you I’m sure can relate to this, working in…

Just Do

Over the past week we’ve been helping at our church as we continue to clean up and repair after Ian. There is a sign up sheet to log in when you arrive and when you leave and what tasks you are working on. Parishioners from all walks of life are coming together to sweep, powerwash,…

Recovery

Over the past few days, I’ve learned a lot about the different “phases” of a natural disaster. Since Ian hit our Sunshine state we’ve been in the Response phase, which includes implementing disaster response plans, conducting search and rescue missions, taking actions to protect yourself, your family, your animals, and others, and so on. During…

God’s Children

Yesterday was a busy day. I first want to thank our server at the local IHOP. We stopped there first thing to grab a quick breakfast before heading off to help at our church. This woman, our server I mean, was simply awesome. She was so attentive, so happy, and so cheerful to every single…

Ian

As I sit here on Thursday afternoon in my driveway for a bit I’m not even sure where to begin. First and foremost we are safe and ok. Our power is out, cell service is down connecting with the “outside world” is sketchy and much of our beautiful sunshine state is changed forever. Ian has…

A Simple Psalm

Happy Monday everyone. Today’s little blog is short and sweet. It’s going to be a busy week around here, Ian is still not sure where he wants to go and is shifting some as of 11pm last night. As I read this Psalm this morning I thought it quite appropriate for the week ahead. As…

The Calm Before the Storm

Well, we live in SW Florida. It’s paradise, plain and simple. We wouldn’t be anywhere else. However, as you all know, June – October is hurricane season in Florida. And…we’ve been pretty lucky so far in 2022. Well, that all changes this weekend. We’ve got a whopper headed our way, and so far it looks…

Here’s Your Sign!

So you all have been so gracious these last few days. I’m sorry I didn’t mean to alarm you. I’m good, I just like you have those days when I’m not sure if I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing. I’ve been praying for many weeks for Father to show me if there is…

I Love to Eat

Yep, gotta admit, I simply love to eat. It’s not the eating, it’s the experience. I love to cook, I love to entertain, I love to hear guests enjoy good food and drink, and yes, I love to eat. It’s a major downfall of course. Hence my gaining weight this last year. Ugh… I have…

A Peek into Heaven

It’s late summer in SW Florida. So…it rains. I mean it rains ALOT! My husband and I love to use our grill when we cook dinner. We’ve been pretty bummed lately because, ya you guessed it, the rain in the late afternoons and evenings has pushed us inside to our air fryer or indoor grill.…
