I have finally done a couple of simple Bible journaling pages with highlighter, gel pen, watercolor, and pictures of flowers. I covered a page about blood sacrifice in red. I started in Deuteronomy because it isn't exactly my favorite book of the Bible, so I'm less worried about messing up. I also think it might … Continue reading Bible Journaling

Using Youtube to Live a Better Life
I've been making videos and trying to figure out what I want my channel to be when I have so many passions. One idea forming slowly in my mind is that I should have the channel be about faith and the creative life. There's not enough creativity in the church right now, and too few … Continue reading Using Youtube to Live a Better Life

It was very easy to walk away from, and as soon as my husband and I were engaged, with his permission I quit. Careers are overrated. Unlike a husband or children, they don't love … Continue reading Careers Are Unnecessary

Exclusivity makes femininity a treat. Not everyone gets access to me. I speak to people who interest me … Continue reading Silence as Feminine Silk

4 Books I Love
To expand my mind and to help keep the brain damage from shock therapy and years of heavy medication from decaying my brain, I'm constantly reading. This is my "stay at home university." I am convinced that the education you can spend a hundred thousand getting from a university can be got from the library … Continue reading 4 Books I Love
Busy week
Our visit with my parents last weekend was fantastic. Seeing them warmed my heart. I was runnning on very little sleep, but I still had a good time. Tonight, A is going to spend the night at my sister's house. She's super excited about it! I'm so glad she has her aunt back in her … Continue reading Busy week
