and Purposeful Prose
I've been trying to achieve balance in my life for a while now. When we shut our business down I poured myself into writing and ministering to others. I didn’t like the idea of not having a job and contributing. I needed to feel useful. However, somewhere along the way I forgot to enjoy life. [...]
People are talking. They say that Ignorance is bliss. But Wisdom sees things differently... Wisdom calls out “Wake up!” “You’re sleeping your life away!” Ignorance doesn't respect Wisdom. She taunts and jeers, “I have what I want.” But she doesn't understand that she stumbles around in the dark. She laughs and mocks Wisdom But Wisdom [...]
I'm a fish Blub blub blub Don’t ask I'm trying something different Thinking outside my box It was kind of cramped in there anyways. Wait a minute I'm a fish Fishes don’t have boxes They swim the ocean with ease Sometimes we call them seas So seize the day And be a fish If you [...]
It's been some time since I continued my "Parentage" posts! Nice hair, right!? Better than mine. (smirk) In the above image are my great-grandpa's sisters. (Nellie, Maud and Rose.) Do you give much thought to family history? I enjoy uncovering or discovering things. Unfortunately, only one side of my family showed any interest in keeping [...]

Thankfully our power outage occurred on Monday morning after I'd posted on my blog, caught up with a friend, and [...]
Adventure called So I ran straight out the door! My hopes were high But they all soon hit the floor. My eyes were bright Fixed on a view that I'd longed for Then trouble came running And I lost the metaphor It's a mystery What tomorrow will bring It's a tug-of-war that can undo my [...]
No, I haven’t become Miss Doom and Gloom. I haven't lost hope either. 😀 I found this little "lost episode" in my email. I wrote it waaaaaaay back before the pandemic got started. It does pay off to squirell things away, especially when you're prone to choppy seas. Consider this a lost episode of Star [...]
About three years ago I became very sensitive to hair colouring so I decided I'd ditch the dye. My ears were insanely itchy! I wanted to stop colouring eventually, anyways, so I went for it. I failed the first attempt. As those silver strands started to appear at the top of my head I wasn't [...]
This isn’t what I planned on posting. I'm not feeling happy with what I was going to share, and to be honest the day is attempting to kick me in the teeth. As I started to get tearful, hope and joy began to run the other way. Get back here!!! Stop being cowards!!!! Okay, that [...]
