Homemade fresh milled whole wheat bread!

Our walking trail was filled with these beautiful gems (leaves) but gems none the less. ♥️🍂🍁🍂

Been hanging around this ole town for way too long…

Ate at Nando’s for the first time & it was DELICIOUS!!

This place was too much fun!

Guten Morgen!

It’s not others I have been fighting against it’s been myself that I fight against all along.

Hardening my heart under the guise of protecting myself has done far my damage than has ever provided this so called protection. This year & years past have lead me on this long journey with dangers of self lurking around every corner.

Holding onto to the hurt & safely placing it on the shelves of my memory to look at, hold, touch, & remember under the guise of protecting myself is placing myself in a mental prison which kills me spiritually.

But to say I forgive someone who has done these things or any other harmful way of being & holding onto the hurt is what is wrong.

I’ve acted in ways that I that I thought at the time were ways to protect myself. To protect myself from manipulation, lies, being used, disrespected, & hurt. Protecting myself & others from these things isn’t in itself wrong.

Thinking about the past versions of myself isn’t always comfortable or even easy to do especially when I started measuring myself against The Way in which The Most High desires me to live my life. I’ve said, believed, & done things, that I truly regret & mourn over often.

Just a couple of months before 2025 becomes the past. In this year I turned 50 so it’s a year that I won’t soon forget. Going up the age level latter each year has caused me to pause & take inventory of myself. I’ve examined my thoughts, my ways, my intentions & the results of them all combined.

Serving the community around us fills my heart with joy! There are so many places that need volunteers in order to effectively help those in need. I have decided to spend the remainder of my existence on this earth doing exactly that!! ♥️💖♥️🥰

お疲れ様です

A dark purple dahlia has just opened in the garden.

Not to be outdone by its' Diva cousin, 'Nighty Night' dahlia makes its' debut in the garden. A similar color as Diva but perhaps a bit darker. Not sure why I ordered ones so similar.

She was part of the team who worked on the Forever We Are Young documentary. She dressed like he did when he was being interviewed. Of course I had the honor of taking the photo. 🥰 One of my favorite pictures!
