Sunday is the time to connect with myself. I did not go to the UU church today. When I think about going, I kind of shrink inside myself, and it doesn't seem like a good idea to step back into that, you know? I'm looking for ways to connect, not things that I cringe away … Continue reading Simply Sunday

Sunny Saturday
It is a beautiful day in my neighborhood, a beautiful day... ok, you get it. 😉 I have become obsessed with Sofia and Lucas, y'all. Seriously. I wrote most of the day yesterday, and part of the evening. I think about them while I'm in the shower. {Does he say, "I know it's too soon … Continue reading Sunny Saturday
Wellness Wednesday – 11-20
Yeah, I am not a Step Star this week. 😦 Or any kind of star for that matter. Sigh... However. There is reason to celebrate! 500 Posts on Olivia Submits! Yes, I just gave myself flowers... Lol, I do that in real life too. Buy them for myself. I love getting flowers, and, stereotypically, I … Continue reading Wellness Wednesday – 11-20
Just Stopping By
It's late. I started working on a new part of the Sofia and Lucas story, but didn't get halfway done. I think it's ridiculous that I have an urge to stop by here even though I have nothing important to say. But here I am. So here are a couple of pictures and a quote … Continue reading Just Stopping By
Monday Musing
I made it yesterday - to the UU church, that is. It was very nice, in a very bland kind of way, which is about what I expected. I will try it again. But there was no immediate sense of spiritual connection or feeling like I'd come home. And I didn't really expect there to … Continue reading Monday Musing
Warning – Religion Ahead
This is what happens when you search for "warn" on Pixabay... Awake way too early this morning, especially for a Sunday. But that's ok. I'll lie back down in a bit maybe. I've been getting images for this blog and other blogs from Pixabay lately, and really love it. Today, I just entered "Awake" in … Continue reading Warning – Religion Ahead
Connections {12}
{This is the end of this story - or the end of this section anyhow. If you want to read from the beginning it starts here.} Lucas finished packing his rope, zipped his bag, and came back off the platform. Sofia watched him walk toward her, still feeling a bit spacey. So she startled when … Continue reading Connections {12}
Love Our Lurkers (Full Version)
Thank you, Hermione!! For continuing this tradition. I love comments - so much. I suspect most bloggers do. It's just lovely to connect with people who read what you have to say - what I have to say - and hear their thoughts. Based on my stats, lots of people read my blog who never … Continue reading Love Our Lurkers (Full Version)
Connections {11} & LOL
Before I dive back into our story - today is Love Our Lurkers Day, when we invite our readers who visit but don't comment to step out and say "hi!" I would love to meet you! Now, back to our story... For a moment, Sofia panicked. She was going to take her dress off? Maybe … Continue reading Connections {11} & LOL
