Eat, Pray, Love #40in2020

I read Eat, Pray, Love like 11 years ago.  Then 4 days before my 40th birthday the movie came out into the theater.  I went to the movies by myself to see it during the most difficult time of my life.  A couple of days ago I finished the book Eat, Pray, Love: Made Me

I’m Giving Grace for That!

So…we have been home for nearly 7 weeks now. I quit smoking on February 24th, like 2.5 weeks before the shut down.  What are the chances?  I don’t know what specifically made me choose that date, but it felt good so I did.  I’ll be honest and tell you that I have caved a couple

Week 5 of Quarantine

As of today, we have been home for 5 full weeks.  5 weeks that my kids haven’t been at school, seen their friends and just gone out to do their normal things.  5 weeks that I haven’t worked as a substitute teacher.  5 weeks since the older 3 kids have been to our house. 5

Sweet Spot

I am in the middle of reading “Remember God” by Annie F. Downs.  I am hoping to push through and finish it in the next 2 hours before I have to go get my youngest from school.  Though, I was moved to stop and post!! This idea of being in our sweet spot.  When she
