“Some Things Never Change”?
Before you’re scared away by the title, No, this post is not about Frozen II. 😂 I watched Frozen II with my sisters this week. If you’ve seen it, you’ll remember the song, “Some Things Never Change”. I’ve seen the movie before (several times, haha, having three sisters). But...
Snow days & peaceful blessings
Yesterday it snowed. A lot. I woke up and looked out the window around eight yesterday, and yup, it was snowing. And it didn’t stop! It kept on falling all day, until the world outside was silent, white, and cold. This morning it’s stopped, leaving behind 7 or 8...

Take it Slowly: A Poem
