Another week, a new Five Minute Friday prompt. I’ve missed the last couple, but this one I liked: Had to sit on this word for a day before I could wrap my mind around words. I’ve always been a good secret keeper. When it comes to people telling me their deep dark secrets,… Read More who do you tell your secrets to? {five minute friday}
hola, folks. Things have been pretty quiet here thanks to sickness+travel+ my week(ish) away at the Festival of Faith and Writing. I don’t think I could elaborate in words all the things I learned/people I hugged/ experiences I had… so I’m not gonna even try. For now, at least. Maybe later. 🙂 Either way,… Read More turning the desire into determination and work.

Almost a week late. Oops. Apparently, after a month of taking care of my mom’s health, mine has decided to falter. thought it was just a toothache, but then my face and ear started throbbing, and my nose got stuffy, and I started feeling just plain crappy… so I’m thinking sinus infection/some sort of annoyance… Read More when mental illness changes your routine. {five minute friday}
happy FMF day, y’all. i think this week’s word might be the most timely of them all: Dang, I think Kate’s psychic or something. You know how people ask you “how are you?” and the go-to catch-all answer is “I’m fine.” Mine? “I’m tired.” I am tired. Physically tired, thanks to restless, insomniatic, broken sleep… Read More i’m tired. {five minute friday}
FMF time! Better late than never, right? This week’s word: Kate wasn’t joking when she said we were going deep this week!

happy FMF (a day late)! This week’s word: I wasn’t really thinking about writing on this prompt… a few years back, I wrote a whole dang series on beauty and beautiful and kind of avoid the topic nowadays. But, as He often does, he reaches me through music. One of my favorite musicians, Audrey Assad,… Read More there is a song of beauty (five minute friday)
FMF time. This week’s five minute friday prompt is fitting, me thinks: If you’ve ever been around a toddler/ threenager long enough, you’ll figure out their favorite word: why. (Italics represent the toddler in the conversation): Why is the sky blue? I don’t know. Why? You need to take a nap. Why? Because you need… Read More the why stage of faith. {five minute friday}
