Strength, insecurity, dignity, grace, fear, faith…all the bloody things

There’s something in the air the week. It feels like a week of rapid transformation. Or deterioration. Or both. If I were to lay it all out, you wouldn’t believe the shit I’ve been facing. And it’s only Thursday. In general, I feel that I am a pretty selfless person. But man…this week…it’s been allContinue reading “Strength, insecurity, dignity, grace, fear, faith…all the bloody things”

Grooving

Well…last week was a whirlwind, to say the least. If you’d talked to me on Monday, I would’ve told you a completely different version of my life than what actually transpired. I didn’t have time to process what occurred, and that literally blew my Type A Virgo mind to smithereens by Friday. I slept itContinue reading “Grooving”

I was mentally and physically sick. I was so far beyond burnt out from volunteering aContinue reading “Breaking trends”

What do you mean?

Sometimes I really wonder how people can question the existence of God.  Some would say that I believe in a fairytale.  Others that I am brainwashed.  To those people, I say pshaw.  Yeah…I did just pull out a Little House on the Prairie term.  Take that 🙂 In August I took a road trip.  IContinue reading “What do you mean?”

Career Deneen…one scary chick

I have come to realize, through the most unlikely source, how out of balance my life has been. I remember a few months ago (which seems like a lifetime ago) when I was obsessed with getting a job…I need a job for this, I need a job for that.  God held off the job soContinue reading “Career Deneen…one scary chick”
