Monday, July 28: Steps Morning Perhaps you recall a couple weeks ago when the prayer was one step forward, zero steps back. Praise the Lord for forward movement…meal and meal, slowly, methodically, eaten: bite, chew, chew, chew, swallow, breathe. Just eating is exercise.

Sunday, July 27: Me & Tears Morning My morning started with a coffee date with my Airbnb host. She popped into my room and we visited before I took off.

The Crew (March 13, 2013)
Estimated Reading Time: 2-3 minutes. My sister has a group of people she calls The Crew. For years they met weekly for brunch to catch up. I never knew exactly what they had to catch up on since they were a social entity, going everywhere together except to sleep and to work. Seriously,…
