I am working on a new class. It is all videos. One every day for a month. I have had trouble getting the camera positioned right, so I asked Mister to help me. He volunteered to film all of them for me! I am so thankful he’s willing to do that. It’s a huge help [...]
How It Started
I have journaled most of my life, in some form or another. Initially, it was just writing in a diary. Writing was a way for me to empty my mind of the squirrel cage of thoughts that occupy it a great deal of the time. It provided me a way to get my [...]
I haven’t been keeping up with this blog challenge very well. Even though it’s late I’m posting a response to today’s prompt, which is:
“Challenge. Something that really made you grow this year. That made you go to your edge and then some. What made it the best challenge of the year for you?”

I live in an apartment above my sister. Her husband died in May so she is moving out of the home they’ve lived in for over 30 years. She is, of course, still grieving the loss of her husband, so moving is a very big challenge for her. I have been helping [...]
