It is a funny thing to be making a vlog this morning about something I was thinking about so much yesterday. The idea of the burden we put on our future self. Ironic! It is a pretty valid idea though.

It is no surprise that I have a bit of a sweet tooth. Ok, maybe more than a bit. I used to be able to pack away a half of a pecan pie and a big glass of milk. I don't roll like that anymore, but I do love

The other day Stacie D and I were watching the movie Titanic. The kids got it for her birthday. I hadn't seen it since I was a teenager, and it was way better than I remembered. There was one part that

Today I am taking you on a magically journey about chiggers. If you have lived in the South, in the heat, in the outdoors... You know just what I am talking about. Last week I was out in the backyard cleaning

For as long as I can remember, I see life differently. When it comes to how I view my family, friends, my animals, and hobbies. Not in a bad way... Just differently. I try to live with as much passion

Today is a quest for happiness. I mean, we are happy, but what could we do to turn it up to eleven?! It is also Stacie D's birthday!! So how about we head down to the river. The cool spring fed river that

Yesterday, Stacie D and I were chatting about some pretty basic things, and I asked her what turned out to be a pretty difficult question. For years I have studied the bible. I have taken it for what I

Lola's fingertips caressed the picture frames along the hall as she tiptoed quietly down the hall of her parents house. Smiling faces stared back at her. She had decided to accept her parents invitation

We are really in to it today... Stacie D is shaving my beard! It has been a long time since I have shaved my beard off, but it comes with a good purpose. We are setting goals for a couple of things we

Remmy grabbed the box of matches that laid on her bedside table. She pulled out one, and struck it against the side and she lit the candle. She laid the box back down exactly where she found it; two inches

It isn't everyday that you see a parent letting their kids cut their hair. Well, that is what happened today. I am excited about how it turned out, and we will see where it goes from here. It began with

There is a concept that is growing in my life... Take what you need. It may sound a bit selfish, but really it is about listening to your mind and body. It is about finding what the need is. It isn't always

Over the past few weeks my eyes have been open to the idea of expanding my understanding of violence. I used to always think, like most, that violence is something physical. Maybe it is fighting. Maybe

Today we are getting busy with a weighted an workout! Not too long ago Stacie D (@freedomtowrite) said that she was done messing around and wanted some no kidding abs. We have always been a physical family,

Lily kicked her feet idly as she sat on a stool at the counter. Her fingers were sticky with sugar and strawberry juice. She licked them happily, humming the tune to Row Row Row Your Boat. “Grandma?” “Hmmm?”

It is always an adventure. Life is so amazing, and I find myself getting into some fun situations. These last few weeks I have been helping a friend to consolidate is possessions and sell many of them.

Every morning we head outside for chores. We are homesteading the crap out of this place we are staying. We have the garden rocking in full effect, and the chickens are doing great! Today I want to share

I lead in with this line "how to easily define God", because I love how simple and sarcastic it is. I do not believe it is just that easy. As probably the leading most controversial topic in

Chapter 1 Lola stared at the blank, white wall full of broken promises. She glanced down at the bucket of paint that held even more and kicked it, stubbing her toe. She groaned, and buried her tear stained

As I have been working through my latest audio book about the power of now, it made me think of the greater spiritual journey. Have you ever noticed the expectation you have put on yourself, or the
