I know many people were put out of power or delayed in their travel by this storm – but for a Florida native living in Central Georgia – this storm felt like nothing less than a Miracle to me…. Just look at the beauty!

I enjoyed our fleeting cold snap so thoroughly
I know the rest of the country was very cold and had tons of snow and all the headaches that go along with it… but down here where I live I was very much enjoying the cold snap. Such a refreshing change… not to mention photo ops!!
I don’t know what it is about feeling scared…but I do enjoy watching those crazy ghost hunter shows. I was watching one tonight. I’m alone in the house and watching this spooky show, having a drink and just relaxing and letting the stress of my day just go away…then the light outside goes crazy. It’s one of those motion-sensor lights that lights up the entire back yard and I had to resist the urge to run and set the alarm. Immediately all those horror movies I love so much came back to me. I am thinking of all the bad guys I’ve ever watched while cringing and hoping that at least someone makes it out of the movie alive. I know rationally that it’s just the wind blowing the trees…or some random neighborhood cat or something completely innocuous – but my imagination runs wild and I feel that thrill of fear. After a life-time of living in fear – true fear – it’s nice to be in a place in my life that fear is re-claimed. I’m not entirely sure that would make sense to anyone but me…but I reclaim my fear. I reclaim it for myself. I know fear is a healthy emotion when it occurs naturally and that it is intended to warn us, to assist us, to serve us. In my life, fear used to rule me. No more. Now I am living from ny heart and I am so glad that I am at a place where I can enjoy fear as a healthy part of my life.
I read and thoroughly enjoyed this post… I hope for Wild Goodness in my life… Thank you for this.
This is one of the most amazing things about the Scriptures to me. There are many verses when men and women of God where angry at God. If God was anything like my dad He would have brushed these verses or even books (in the case of Job) under the rug. He wouldn’t have allowed it to be Scripture. But God is nothing like my dad (thankfully) and invites us to question. The One with all power does not seek to control us. He seeks our returned love. In a healthy relationship there is room to not only be happy and sad, but also to be angry.
Now the tough part of this equation is that often others actions deserve our anger. They have hurt us; sometimes purposefully, sometimes accidentally. Anger is a healthy emotion that seeks to right injustices. It seeks to bring attention to important things that have…

One of the best parts of Summer Magic is wishing on these…
I remember when I was a kid I took every opportunity to blow these as hard as I could and make a wish…. Did you ever do that? What did you wish for?
Taken summer 2013 in my front yard on my Passion Flower Vine
Forked tongue spits death
thinly disguised as kindness.
Poison heart spews bile.
How is it that you
are by him so deeply loved,
yet feel only hate?
We found this snake in our yard…he’s beautiful and harmless – unlike the subject of this poem
