Trust seems to be a theme in my life lately. Everyday in my devotional, writing, or posts I am following, scripture shows up about trust. I went in to TJ Maxx the other day. I can’t seem to remember why I went in there. Sometimes I go in just for a mental break in the…
I love music! It is one of my favorite hearing moments. One of my new goals in hearing therapy is to hear the rhythm. When I hear a song, I have to take time to listen. Depending on the sounds and the instruments used, it can take me awhile to find it. Every now and…
It has been a season of cleaning out and I am always making bags for the local Johnnycake Center. This place is a thrift store that also has other services to help the Community. This place is one that is special to me. They were a place where I could find clothes for my kids…
