Late, But On Time
A few things: I may have written something along the lines of this topic some years ago. You should keep reading anyway. I will probably get straight to the point today because I’m not sure how to stretch out these words nor do I wish to say more than I need to say. You should…

Lesson Learned
I missed last week’s blog, but if you are an avid follower, you knew that already. I can explain though. The long and short of the story is that I was too busy for my own good. Anyway, thanks for coming back today. *hugs and kisses* | Lesson Learned | It is so hard to…

What Did I Say?
Transparent moment: I’ve had some trepidation about blogging this week. I feel as if I have hit some kind of rough patch or something. When my life was in shambles, when I was picking myself up off the ground, when I was climbing from the bottom, and when I was encouraging others when I really…

Heart Check: The Incident. The Ignoring. The Interjection.
I can vividly remember hearing his voice as if he just said it. It was the Sunday before Memorial Day, and I stood at the altar with tears streaming down my face. It had been a hell of a week leading to this moment, I was emotionally and mentally exhausted, and my pastor had just…

A Peace of 30: The Turning Point
With every step closer to 30, I felt different. I knew I had been undergoing transformations, but this felt like more than self-discovery, and it wasn’t like some of the transitions from before. It was like the quiet whisper of wind right after the storm. It felt like the slowing of the Merry-Go-Round…just enough exhilaration…

Finish.
This will be the final post of a series of three posts called, “Start. Don’t Stop. Finish.” If you didn’t read Start. or Don’t Stop., I think you should start there and don’t stop until you’ve finished them both. (Can that corny joke work for two posts in a row?) |Finish. | I will begin…

Don’t Stop.
This will be part two of a series of three posts called, “Start. Don’t Stop. Finish.” If you didn’t read last week’s post Start., then I think you should start there. (You see what I did just then? *smirk*) | Don’t Stop. | I am so ready for this to be over. I miss my…

Start.
This will be part one of a series of three posts called, “Start. Don’t Stop. Finish.” | Start. | Me: “Hi! My name is Christen…” Y’all: “Hi, Christen!” Me: “…and I am a procrastinator.” Y’all, it’s TERRIBLE! I have found that I work best in crunch time, and that has now become my crutch. Truthfully,…

Sustain.
I wasn’t going to share today. As a matter of fact, this is now my fourth time starting from scratch. Each week, I share with you all from a vulnerable place…I share my real life. Truthfully speaking, I didn’t want to be vulnerable this week so I wasn’t going to post at all. “Sharing my…
