First of all, after yesterday's major issues with our older daughter, wouldn't you know that I logged on for online church this morning and this was today's sermon topic: Here is the link to this wonderful sermon if you want to watch it: https://www.churchofthehighlands.com/media/message/surviving-lifes-worst-moments I so needed it today. As I said yesterday, God's got... Continue Reading →
feeling small.
we are frail, we are fearfully and wonderfully made forged in the fires of human passions, choking on the fumes of selfish rage and, with these our hells and our heavens, so few inches apart we must be awfully small and not as strong as we think we are. - rich mullins We had... Continue Reading →
a laid out spoonie – but on the mend.
Do y'all remember that post from yesterday about how I was feeling better? The one I wrote and then hopped up and cleaned out my fridge - a major undertaking that I should have- but didn't - ask for help with - and did some other things that I desperately needed to do around my...

melting in the Alabama heat, eating the BEST food, and feeling a little bit stronger.
Our beloved weatherman, James Spann, just posted on his Facebook that, by in the end of the month, we are due for a major weather pattern shift here in Alabama, bringing some actual Fall weather.

(And, also, thank you, Lord, for the Bucha BOGO at... Continue Reading →
trying new things, vision boarding, and gratitude.
One thing I've noticed used in many AIP recipes is spaghetti squash so I want to learn to cook with it. I also want to learn how to cook more with the spiralized veggies - squash, zucchini, beets - that have become popular. So, of course, I got to pinning and found some recipes and...

easy like sunday morning (and afternoon too)
Since I've been having some major issues with my hip as well as my lower spine and left foot, as well as some seriously tail-kicking fatigue, I spent most of my Sunday napping. It was what my body desperately needed and sometimes spoonie bodies just say "enough." When I did get going, my better half... Continue Reading →
going all in on the AIP protocol
As a nutrition nerd, having decided to go with the autoimmune paleo protocol (AIP), I have started really studying it. I learned about it in nutrition school, but as part of my overall program, with many other protocols, so not in the great detail that I will need to apply it - and hopefully to... Continue Reading →
