The Gift of a Fallen Thing
During my walk the other morning, I noticed many leaves had fallen to the ground. Even in their fallen state, they were still beautiful; they still had purpose. As leaves decay, they add organic material back into the soil. Further, critters ranging from turtles to birds and mammals rely on leaf litter for food, shelter,…

The Gift of Facing Fear
I’ve struggled a lot with confidence to post about my faith. Ironically enough, my faith is the one thing I post about the most. It’s because I refuse to let the enemy win, and what he wants is for me to keep quiet. He wants us all to keep quiet about our faith and most…

The Gift of a Gracefully Broken Girl
Currently listening to “Gracefully Broken” by Tasha Cobbs What does it mean to be broken? To be broken is to be damaged or no longer in one piece. But what about gracefully broken?

The Gift of Three Years
I bought a blue and pink painted piece of Quartz to commemorate a very special anniversary—the three year anniversary to be exact—at my current job as a PPEC nurse.

Have you ever gotten plenty of sleep yet woken up exhausted? Other times, you’ll get too little sleep yet feel pretty great the next morning. Why…

The Gift of a Golden Heart
What’s so great about having a heart of gold, anyway? Gold is precious, rare, highly valued and sought after. The thing about gold that no one talks about though is that it’s easily manipulated. It’s estimated that a single ounce of gold can be flattened into a 100 square foot sheet. So why is it…

The Gift of the Window
“Best keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you see the world.” George Bernard Shaw So many days I’ve watched Sassy looking out the window, and I’ve wondered what she sees. Does she see the beauty I see? What is she thinking? We add so much color to our experiences, don’t…

The Gift of a Woman Who Writes
I’ve never been a woman who speaks; not in public nor private has speaking ever come naturally to me. It’s not that I’m shy; I’m just not wired to speak; I am wired to write. For many years I prayed in my head. It wasn’t until I began to speak up and out loud that…

The Gift of Open Eyes
We’re all born with open eyes, though many of us willingly and even involuntarily close them. Pain, offense, anger, trauma are just a few of the reasons why people do this. Those negative emotions and experiences have a tendency to form a filter that we may then begin to see through. This filter obstructs our…
