and Purposeful Prose
Image by MH Rhee from Pixabay To conclude part one of this post I pointed out that my second priority is truly included in my first. However, I broke it down into physical and spiritual as sometimes physical rest and proper nutrition is required to set our body and mind straight. Here's an example: if [...]
Image by wal_172619 from Pixabay I've completed my college studies, at last! This is a big deal at my age. Continuing to work while attending part-time studies created a load that felt a tad heavy. It wasn't simply one 10-hour Saturday added to my week, it was also many continuous nights and weekends spent on [...]
Photo credit: Pexels Sometimes the road is long. Sometimes the work schedule takes it out of you. Fatigue not only affects us physically it can also lead to spiritual lethargy. The rubber simply isn't meeting the road. You're tired and flat. Back before I ventured down the college path, I planned to write a post on [...]
First, credit where credit is due. This 'missing peace' concept comes from the beautiful J.J. Heller's song 'Missing Peace.' I was listening to this song yesterday morning as I walked my steps. Next I moved on, continuing the momentum by walking a loop 'round the river trails nearby. It sounds lovely, doesn't it? It is, [...]
(Photo credit goes to Pixabay.com user sobima.) As I continue to do my Pilates, my form gets better and better. This isn't me blowing my own horn. It's taken a long time for me to really start to correct my ways. As I repeat the same routine I notice things the instructor says which I've [...]

They called him J.J. As soon as this spry young man learned to walk, he was off and running. Literally. J.J ran everywhere. When a close friend became a parkour fanatic, this born athlete was eager to give it a shot himself. He fell in love. J.J. sprang off of everything, soaring through the air [...]
I went on a very invigorating walk on Sunday. I didn't plan this. In fact if I'd taken a closer look at the weather before I grabbed my umbrella and stepped out the door I might have decided against going out. A bit of rain? No problem. I have my magical blue-sky umbrella. It's lovely. [...]
I appreciate goals. I'm not the type of person to simply hang up my hat. ('Er cap.) I need that thinking cap! Settling down isn't likely going to happen. So I keep setting goals both physically and spiritually. When I feel as if I'm not getting anywhere, life becomes frustrating. I need more patience. If [...]
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. [...]
