Be the Storm!

A Warrior is the STORM! You are in control of your destiny.  YOU CHOOSE! Be the storm that carries your will, not the person caught in the storm. A Warrior weaves a path through life, makes good decisions, has a ton of fun, and kicks up one heck of a racket while doing it. A… Continue reading Be the Storm!

Singing and Dancing in the Rain

It is often said that we crave for things that we don't have... it's part of our human psyche. I grew up in the high desert in central Oregon.  Rain was not common there.  Summers would bring impressive thunderstorms. The air would smell fresher.  The dust would settle.  The high desert refreshed with a cool… Continue reading Singing and Dancing in the Rain

Reflection a Sunny Disposition

My friend Sheri and I had a chat about the symbolism and the healing powers flowers have on our souls.  We discussed how one particular flower, the sunflower, could be healing and inspiring for me.  I've been pondering that conversation for several days. Truthfully, although I love red roses, no flower can lift my spirits… Continue reading Reflection a Sunny Disposition

Strength Through the Journey

Yesterday my daughter and I were standing in the kitchen discussion different life experiences.  I asked her if she regretted having gone through some of those experiences. "Nope.  They made me stronger.  I learned something." She gets it!  Becoming a Warrior Woman means understanding that it is in the journey that we gain the strength.… Continue reading Strength Through the Journey

Positive Talk

I have a confession. My mind is never quiet.  There is a constant stream of dialogue running through my brain at all times.  I guess you could say I talk to myself.  What can I say?  I'm a good listener.  LOL. I know I'm not special in this regard.  As all have a set of… Continue reading Positive Talk

Wrapping up August in fresh veggies

It is great to live in a beautiful place where many things grow.  This week we enjoyed fresh plums, peaches, watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, zucchini, yellow summer squash, onions, green beans, raspberries and strawberries.  I didn't really make "recipes" for meals.  Some meals were just 1/2 a cantaloupe and a spoon.  🙂  Other meals… Continue reading Wrapping up August in fresh veggies

Do You Hear the Crickets Sing?

There is a time in every single one of our lives when we all realized we have learned to hear the crickets. Crickets are messengers.  Near my home, crickets are a signal that summer is ending soon, that fall is approaching.  Their cheerful little chirps add to magical late summer evenings. (I read that their… Continue reading Do You Hear the Crickets Sing?

Today's Warrior Wednesday is dedicated to my friend Callie, and all other women who brave the birthing process that brings life all of God's sons and daughters on this earth. I woke up this morning to see a Facebook post that Callie had her baby with the help of her family and the paramedics at… Continue reading Warrior Mom

A Warrior of Character

Character is the foundation upon which a true Warrior is built. Our carnal minds are most often self-serving wonderful creations.  Our brain reflects and produces, creates and interprets, and analyzes every concrete or abstract point or symbol from life - all to comfort, prolong life, understand, and survive. Part of the process of building character… Continue reading A Warrior of Character
