Are There Really Only Two Roads?

October 24, 2017

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood..." famous words of Robert Frost, but the question is... are there really only two roads? In life are there ever just two roads? We make decisions everyday but rarely are there only two options. There are always the two options of action verses in action but what about what action to make. Making decisions is hard, especially when you are stuck in a rut of wrong decisions. There are times when it seems like all we make is wrong decision after wrong decision, but when and how can one get back on the good decision track?

There are points in life when it seems that no matter what we do we always seem to mess up. We make some sort of mistake, make the wrong decision, hurt someone we care about and it seems like we can't make it right. Sometime all it takes to correct is simply asking for help. Ultimately we can't do everything alone and especially when looking from the inside out sometimes we will miss the obvious solutions. Situations in life are not just unique to our life, there is someone else that has also gone through something similar to the problem you face. Sometimes it takes humility to reach out to that person and ask for help. With that there then becomes a responsibility to evaluate not only what we will do in the future but also what we have done in the past. If we make sure to evaluate our previous actions we can avoid making the same mistakes again.

Life is full of difficult moments but how we move forward and the decisions we make will make all the difference.

Spooktacular!

October 31, 2017 Happy Halloween! My family never really got into the Halloween spirit but as I have gotten older it is one of my favorite holidays! As an adult it is the one holiday of the year that you can dress up all crazy and it is perceived as normal! Halloween is a time to express your creativity and be whoever you want to be. Typically my theme is Disney characters. Over the past few years I have been Astrid from How to Train your Dragon, Flower from Bambi, Joy from Inside Out and this year a Werewolf (Though I couldn't think of a Disney movie that specifically had a Werewolf in it, my original intention was just a wolf which could be from Beauty and the Beast). Seeing children so excited to dress up and get candy and seeing a neighborhood join together to go all out and come together is an amazing thing. Halloween is one of the times that gives the opportunity to really see the community come out and not barricade themselves behind doors and screens. So my challeng...

Numb

October 3, 2017 N- Not sure how I feel U- Uncertain about the future M- Mentally exhausted B- But smiling and making the most of it anyways Life is full of ups and downs. There will be good days and bad days, but no one needs to tell anyone that... we all live it. We don't get to choose what happens in life but we typically can choose how we handle it. Just the other day I had a great topic and I was excited to write about it for today's post... but as I sit to type after a long day whatever that thing was I no longer remember. Today I am numb as described above. Life sometimes comes with many changes all at once and the only thing we can do is roll with it. Today may have not been the best but there are blessings in each and every event, we just have to take time and find them. Good things to note even through this difficult day: I have a living God. I woke up this morning. The sun was shining and now the rain is nourishing the ground. I do not have a headache. ...

Be Inspired!

October 17, 2017 Inspiration In a biblical context the root word literally means 'God breathed.' Yet how does that apply in everyday life? Sometimes we are asked what inspires us and where our inspiration comes from and how many times do we have an answer for that? When we look at creative writing typically people say they are inspired to write. So how does inspiration, God, and creative writing go together... they are all connected by life. God breathed the life we have into our beings and from there we are able to go throughout our day and enjoy the world we have been blessed with. Inspiration for writing typically comes from our experiences, what goes on in our everyday life and what we see. Without the breath of life we wouldn't be here to write, therefore we would be squandering our opportunity to share with others the unique experiences of our life if we didn't write. So my charge to you... keep writing, as often as possible, about whatever you can find in...
