Broken Vases
I don’t often write much of what or how I’m feeling. A least not recently, not since I started doing the daily prompts. Not in my blog posts at least. Do I?? I’ve been using a paper bound journal to help ground myself. I’m having a bad night… and I have no one I can… Continue reading

This Unfortunately Requires
Sadly, this requires something I don’t have anymore. A career. I had one at one point, then I got laid off, then I couldn’t find work. Then COVID. My dad had a near fatal car crash. I got work, then had to leave due to safety reasons. My mental health deteriorated further, which required medication… Continue reading

What Counts As A Luxury…
My car. Years ago, I would navigate with map books. With how quickly things change, they would be outdated before leaving the printery. But… I also could get maps from MAPQUEST.

Never had… Continue reading

Directions… Hmm.
For a long time, I haven’t been sure. There were many things I wanted to do, but the path to get there always seemed blurred. Now, I take things in steps. I wanted to be a writer. I am a published author. I wanted to have a family, too. While I never managed to achieve… Continue reading

Knowledge Doesn’t Always Mean Anything
1 Corinthians 3:19 – “the wisdom of the world is foolishness with God.” Learning and knowing things is fine, but there is a danger when trying to use that knowledge to discredit the word of God. The Bible continues to be the only book that is far ahead of its time, explaining the shape of… Continue reading

Putting Myself “Out There”
I had to think very hard on this, because my life has been pretty simple and somewhat boring with very few odd hiccups in the road. I also might have scratched my head after seeing some of the responses to this prompt and really felt like I did nothing at all. I also felt somewhat… Continue reading
Hey, Miss J!
