Take Two

Wow…it has been awhile since I visited this space. How I’ve missed the reflection, the connection, the sharing of the struggle and journey. The progress of forward steps has not been great…if anything there has been significant regression and regret. And as a result of such absence there has been much collective loss, grief, wandering […]

Swerve Not

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess for He who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23 Unswervingly-In a constant and steadfast manner-unfaltering, resolute, unflinching and unshakeable… As I stepped out into a brand new day all read up and journaled in to face the moments ahead with lots of stability and steadfast unswervingliness, it […]
