A Week of Struggle
There's no getting around it. This week has been an absolute struggle. Mentally, emotionally, and physically. I'm exhausted on a spiritual plane.

Little Steps
I desperately needed to make a little simple art today. The exhaustion has been holding me back, but I want to make sure that at the end of every day I can look back on something creative or positive I did. There isn't as much housework on the weekends, but I can try to do … Continue reading Little Steps

Lovely Weekend, Lovely Week
We went to the same church as last week today. The pastor preached boldly from scripture about wives submitting to their husbands and husbands loving their wives sacrificially. It makes me excited to go back. I emailed about getting involved with some volunteering. This weekend was lovely. We took care of errands together, but more … Continue reading Lovely Weekend, Lovely Week
Trying to Recover Me

I came home exhausted, strangely exhausted, but with the satisfaction of making living, loving little animals' day better. Today I am running on little sleep and have … Continue reading Trying to Recover Me
