Promptitude: Wide Open Spaces

I just got back from visiting southeastern Oregon.  The east side of Oregon is totally different from the west side of Oregon, where I, and most of the state's population, lives.  The east side is basin and range, gold and brown, mesas, cattle, warm, dry, long stretches of wide open spaces. The west side is […]

On The Road Again

I'm heading out again first thing tomorrow morning.  It is unusual for me to book trips so close together (I got back from Nashville less than a week ago), but it is just the way it worked out this time. Tomorrow's destination is Diamond, Oregon, way over in the southeastern section of the state, a […]

Promptitude: Rain

It has been raining here forever.  Worst spring in ages.  It is not for me to complain, however, because when I was in Nashville last weekend, the temperatures hit 90 degrees.  And the sun shone nearly every day I was there.  Plus, bad storms hit the day before I arrived and a few days after […]

What I […]

Promptitude: Whiney Baby

At the beginning of this week, I wrote about fear. As I've progressed through the week, feeling much better about life, I've also been reading SARK's latest book, Glad No Matter What. She writes about a process for clearing out fear and other nasty emotions that plague us. First you write a Mad page (or […]

Enough

Enough

I'm working with the concept of enough this week. I was inspired to ponder enough by the weekly message at my church.  The reason I love attending church, which is a habit only acquired in December, is that what I get from it stays with me all week.  Every Sunday I get some tidbit that […]
