One thing about Music (here is where I tell you what I am listening to)

• A song that has been on my heart the last few weeks has been a hymn, the part that grips my heart is: “we have an anchor, that keeps the soul, steadfast and sure.” I’ve always been a hymns girlie who sometimes drift off into contemporary Christian music, but wow. Hymns hit a different bit of my soul. 

Netflix and Chat

• I have been watching the Valley. It’s about 30-40 something years old attempting to make sense of life. Some scenes are hard to watch, but I think they demonstrate the embs and flow of life.
• I also spent quite a bit of time watching all three seasons of the Equalizer. Sometimes, I surprise myself with my show choices because I had no idea that I would select a show like that and thoroughly enjoy it. I think it is making me rethink what I like but more importantly, give the unknown or unfamiliar more chances.  

She Reads (what I am reading, visit my website for a through review)

• My recent reads have been, Dream Count, The Parlour Wife, and Good Dirt. I am way behind on my reading goal for this year and I am fighting to catch up. Will this be the month that I catch up? I am currently in the middle of three books so I am hopeful. 

What is the Lord saying?

• To surrender and to trust. I was telling my friends that I do a lot of things that people find “good” from a place of anxiety. I always feel the need to be in control, and I hear God telling me to leave it all to Him. The uncomfortable situations, my desires, the things I fear, just to surrender it all. 
• I also feel that God is calling me higher and deeper. Not in the sense of a good job or standing on anyone’s pulpit. Honestly, maybe avoid a stage all together. But a higher and deeper relationship with Him away from the noise, where a new identity will be formed and impact will be made. 

A break for a little heart to heart

• I have two little ones. These days my prayers have been about living long enough to see them grow. But mainly living long enough to introduce them to the Lord. I think about leaving them memories they can come back to when they are old. 

Appearance Matters

• I think with the thought of death being on my mind so often since the passing of my brother, being old feels like such a blessing. And as a result, I am not tied to trying to look young. Do i love my skincare routines? yes, but I take no pleasure in being told I look young. Its just such a privilege to grow old that the wrinkles and the gray hair and weak knees feel like a badge of honor. 

Healthy Living

• Am I a gym babe? Haha. I have been going to the gym since November 2024 consistently and dare I say, I am loving it so much. I look forward to including it in my weekly schedule. But one thing about working out is, when you put a pause on it, getting back to it is not easy at all. This is currently happening to me and I regret missing so many days of movements. 

Tell me, in what area of your life can you show up as your higher self?
