I like these things. This post is extra good because this Friday is extra good. Have a good day! This quote from here resonated with me: "When's a time in your life when you felt really beautiful?

Tela Wants Canned Food
I walk into kitchen. Tela hesitates, then scampers in after me. I open to fridge and get out meat, vegetables. Tela rubs her face against the refrigerator door, then tries to jump inside. I pull her out of the fridge, and turn the skillet on and open up the package of hamburger meat. Tela meows, … Continue reading Tela Wants Canned Food

I Quit Sugar A really fun cookbook/challenge to eliminate … Continue reading Books I Read in 2014

My boss the day we left leaned over to me and told me that I was probably experiencing spiritual warfare because God was going … Continue reading TRIBE: Part II

By the time Thursday rolled around and I started thinking about going, I summoned up all the energy within me and was left with zero interest in going. I thought about calling in sick and staying home to get some actual rest after the other … Continue reading TRIBE: Part I
