First, a hearty happy birthday to one of my sisters! 🥰 ... Aaaaand... let's see... I slept in a good bit today. Goddess, I don't think I got up for good until 8:45. Of course, I woke up about 80 trillion times, but I fell back asleep each time until finally prying myself out. It … Continue reading 2025-07-23 (Wednesday) — Wet Dog Smell 🙃

Did I mention little boy tired? 🙃 It's 9:31. Hoping to be in bed with eyes closed by 10. 🤞 I think I woke up somewhere around 7:00, so I didn't get enough sleep. I did some morning routine stuff and then headed off to the gym for my weekly mega workout. And boy, what … Continue reading 2025-07-22 (Tuesday) — Spiritually Starving
2025-07-21 (Monday) — Which Is The Greater Pain?
Little boy tired. 🛌 Slept in a bit, as has become the norm, unfortunately. I got up in time to wish my sister a good morning, after waking up early, I think around 5ish? When Hans left for work because I went to bed with the doors open to help the van cool off, now … Continue reading 2025-07-21 (Monday) — Which Is The Greater Pain?

I meant to get so much accomplished today. It's so hard for me to do the kind of work I feel like God is directing me to do. I intended to spend a good chunk of the day working on my main morning meditation and on the book, but I made pretty much zero progress … Continue reading 2025-07-20 (Sunday) — People At The Park
2025-07-19 (Saturday) — Rover Work
Tired. Woke up. Had a pretty successful morning routine, one of my most successful. Spent a good while sorting hay. Hans had brought in the big round bale from the pasture, and he'd removed the outer crappy layer of hay from it. Not along with the crappy layer, a lot of good hay also sluffs … Continue reading 2025-07-19 (Saturday) — Rover Work
2025-07-18 (Friday) — Reconnection Day
I could have been in bed a lot earlier, but I've just been watching both uplifting and informative YouTube videos. Wasn't really tired, but I think I can sleep now. Got up and said good morning to my sister before she headed out for the day. Totally bombed my Elevate app daily exercise. 😆 Generally, … Continue reading 2025-07-18 (Friday) — Reconnection Day
2025-07-17 (Thursday) — Break Me
Hello, my lovelies. 🙂 It's been a sobering day today. I'm struggling to get moving on the things that I've felt like the Lord has directed me to do for 15+ years now. There's so much that always seems to clamor for my attention, and serving physically is so much easier than doing the hard … Continue reading 2025-07-17 (Thursday) — Break Me
2025-07-16 (Wednesday) — Digitized. Organized. Synchronized.
I want to go back to the temple. 🙃 I suppose I could. There's nothing really to stop me, but I do want to make sure that I maintain balance. My weekly trip is really good for me--The beautiful spiritual grounding and peace that means so much, the time to be still while I drive, … Continue reading 2025-07-16 (Wednesday) — Digitized.

2025-07-15 (Tuesday) — Peace, and House of the Lord
Love Temple Tuesdays 🥰. Beautiful day. 🥰 Up over and over again through the night. Nothing major, just waking and falling asleep again many times. Similar to normal but more frequently. Since I didn't finish my journal until late, I didn't end up getting up on time. I think I finally got up somewhere around … Continue reading 2025-07-15 (Tuesday) — Peace, and House of the Lord
2025-07-14 (Monday) — Worth Any Effort. Worth Every Effort
It's definitely been a harder day today. In addition to my sorrow for the ways in which I've neglected my body, for a fair chunk of the morning I was fighting feelings of feeling unattractive, unwanted, undesirable (physically). Pretty rough. Poignant. It's a good opportunity for me to feel what many others feel every day … Continue reading 2025-07-14 (Monday) — Worth Any Effort. Worth Every Effort
