Work-in-Progress: Just Getting Through the Day

I don't know about you, but for me, sometimes it's a work in progress just trying to get through the day. I've really just been in a funk this week.  Maybe it's hormonal (I'll not go there), maybe it's my depression, it could be the environment, or maybe it's another factor.

Let’s All Be Brave: A Book Review

Just this past fall, I had the opportunity to participate in my first Bloom book study.  Lucky for me, because we read Let’s All Be Brave by Annie F. Downs. Let me just say… LOVE LOVE LOVE! I cannot say enough things about this book.  And none of them are negative. So if you were hoping for a negative review…sorry.  You’re not getting one. Many of you know that I am currently on a journey that came out of 12 years of ignoring God’s calling.  Part of the push that led me to step about and follow with blind faith…
