The Writing Life

“One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something goodContinue reading “The Writing Life”

This Week’s Favorites 09.18.26

A happy Friday morning to you! We are allegedly in for rain and cooler temps, after today. We’ll take it. So done with summer. A closet sweep still awaits me. The week has felt eternal (last week blurred into this week), the weather fluctuated wildly, and we have finally reached the culmination of it. FloridaContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 09.18.26”

Broadax

By: Gabriela Yareliz I was reading the piece on Annie Dillard’s life and recent death. It made me think a lot about writing. About life. How many hours does any of us have left? We spend so much time in unconscious living; engaging in habits and actions we do on autopilot. How much conscious lifeContinue reading “Broadax”

“Shoutout to anyone drinking breakfast soda.” Theo Von We have entered the “-ber” months. I ended the week putting a fall essential oil blend in the diffuser. The diffuser is back onnnn.

Lavish with Beauty

“God is lavish with beauty.” Dr. Edie Wadsworth When we look at nature, we see that God was generous with the amount of beauty He put in the world for us. Dr. Edie reminded us this week that beauty is not a reward, but it is a need that we are hardwired for. It’s somethingContinue reading “Lavish with Beauty”

Grace for the Pilgrimage

“Because the Christian life isn’t just a beautiful beginning. It’s a pilgrimage. There are stretches of joy, but there’s also struggle, weariness, temptation, and moments when everything in us wants to turn back. That’s why remaining in Christ requires perseverance. It requires remembering, again and again, where the journey began: in grace. It was graceContinue reading “Grace for the Pilgrimage”
