Another Way
Yes, something inspired my post this morning. I have hemmed and hawed about whether to express at all. If I express myself I am fighting against something? If I don’t I am silencing my own voice. But I am entitled to an opinion and a viewpoint of life just like everyone else. So, I’m going …

Ready to Go
Maybe I should say Ready, Set, Go! I feel as if I am waiting for the starting gun and in the meantime, I am expending all sorts of energy on what I will do once it goes off. That is exhausting y’all. If I were a runner, I would know that my only job is …

The Road Home
Some of you may remember that I type a title without knowing what I am going to write most of the time. Today was one of those times, but now I know exactly what I want to write. I was called to write, nudged if you will, and I answered that call and got back …

Threads
I am still defining and redefining who I am on the outside and inside. I never really considered it but suppose it is a lifelong process. If you aren’t changing and upgrading then you are stagnant and degrading. That doesn’t necessarily apply to little breaks you take along the way to catch your breath of …

Home

Can you be spiritual and have cosmetic surgery? Yes you can!
I started writing this and have started over. It’s such an involved topic. I could really write separate articles talking about self worth, body image, “new age” ideas of what is spiritual…the list really goes on and on. But my real intent is to take you on my Tummy Tuck & Lipo journey, so let’s …

Healing the Mother
I’ve written about “The Mother” before and it has been one of my core issues this entire lifetime. My relationship with my mother touched every other relationship I have had, as well as influenced my triggers and patterns. Some girls have daddy issues – not me. Mine are all mother issues. And I’ve tried to …

Coming Home
Take your pick. “Elizabeth, I’m coming to join you honey!” or “Mama I’m coming home.” Even with spiritual topics I have a barrage of pop culture references flowing through my mind. It connects me to this world and to that world so that I can bridge the two. We are meant to be both you …

Thoughts about Loss and the Holidays
In the fall of the year leading to winter, it is natural to contemplate death and loss. In ancient traditions the sun was waning and they did not yet have the promise of spring showing in the sky. I started getting OneDrive reminders about pictures “on this day” awhile ago. It was unexpected but I …
