First Outdoor Run of Season

First out door run of season. Due to cold, ice and my wimpiness I have chosen to run indoors on the elliptical for the winter months. Every day thirty minutes in the evening for my mental and physical health. Today was big for me, back to my last summer’s walking/running/transformational path. As I ran IContinue reading “First Outdoor Run of Season”

Hello Gorgeous!

This photo was inspired by the image below. I have fallen in love with hot, herbal teas. I read “The secret to a well balanced life is a cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other,” …. thought, “who knew I was well balanced?”Lol, debatable for sure, good to know.

Sunrise

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;    his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning;    great is your faithfulness.

Thankful forContinue reading “Sunrise”

My Jeans….

May not be a big deal for a lot of humans, for me the picture of me in these jeans is monumental. A little background. I was raised in Apostolic Pentecostalism. This is a very strict fundamentalist religion. As a female, child in this walk I was unable to wear pants as they were identifiedContinue reading “My Jeans….”
