Talk to Jesus: Spiritual Resolutions for the New Year

Mine is more simple: Just talk to Jesus more – and be more willing to put the words on paper He wants me to share. Whatever that means – and however hard they are.

I’m just talking to Jesus – and I’ll share that along the way.

Kelp Forests and God’s plans

My heart has been in being “busy.” How having little time to “think” has kept me from focusing on the fact that my cancer is very real and that there are some really deep-rooted fears there.

Tiramisu!

I was so tired this morning in general and my eyes were burning.  I was literally just exhausted.  I’m sure a lot of it was food and the other part of it was in general beating myself into the…

Moody Gardens, Iceland & Fishing

Hot Sauce Makes (Almost) Everything Better

I’ve become so bored with microwaved pizzas from Nutrisystem so I’ve ordered other food to help get over that.  

My first big mistake.  I mean, I already know not to order MRE’s.  So, let me share this with you:

I survived Thanksgiving!

I also went to a restaurant for Thanksgiving where I had a small bite of turkey and dressing, but chose fish, Brussels sprouts and steamed spinach for my meal.  I did however, eat a whole freakin’ piece of pumpkin pie…and it was heaven.

Feelin’ it!

The chocolate thing up above…here, let me zoom in.

It’a okay to be jealous.  It’s also to make this your wallpaper.  I won’t judge you.  It might be taped to my bathroom mirror.  And scale.  And dresser.  And…
