Nonie Wisdom
Words of wisdom and advice from me.
The Good, Good Father.
Recently my grandson got hurt while on my watch. It was awful. In the moments after it happened and for entire time it took for his injury to heal, I would have done anything in my power to fix him myself. I would have, without question, made everything all better for him. When I heard … Continue reading The Good, Good Father.
To Each Their Own

All gone. Those were the words of finality that were expressed today at the loss of my daughter's new pregnancy. This would have been her and her husband's third child.

I looked everywhere they've ever left a package. Nothing. I called 1-800-PICK-UPS. I had to talk to a faux … Continue reading The Lost Package of Maturity
Rainbow Platitudes
Not every storm produces a rainbow. Not every rain shower yeilds flowers. Sometimes it just rains. Storms come. Floods happen. Rain falls. That's life. Too often we settle for platitudes when we should acknowledge and accept that crap happened. We can learn and grow, or we can keep passing off Pinterest quotes and out of … Continue reading Rainbow Platitudes
Three Little Birds … In My Garage
Do you believe in signs? Do you believe God talks to us, sending little or maybe not so little messages? I do. I do because it has happened a lot in my lifetime. Tonight I came home, opened my garage door, and pulled my van in just like normal. Tonight though, there was a bird … Continue reading Three Little Birds … In My Garage
Why Listen to Another?
You keep going to Facebook, Twitter, other medias. You look to the people to tell you who you are, to approve of who you are. You listen to the voices try to dictate and define you. You search for validation and reason for you, your life, your calling. You wait for a like, a view, an answer. … Continue reading Why Listen to Another?
Eavesdropping

Nosey by Nature I am, by nature, a nosey person; in fact I think more people are than are not. In my … Continue reading Eavesdropping
