Under Attack

Ever feel under attack? Everything falls apart at once....all of a sudden a depression hits you out of nowhere....attack from all sides OR attack from nothing....just an emptiness that all of a sudden hits you.

I have been under attack today. I have been sad, in my head, heart hurting all day..raw and ripped wide open. It's not just one thing....today, the last couple of days, was a snowball of MANY things.

I'm learning, I'm growing, I'm fully aware of what is happening but it doesn't take away that it's happening. So what do you do? How do you deal?

I have had a running dialogue (as with most days) with the Lord. I've argued, I've said some hateful things, I've said some things I wish I could take back, I've cried, I've reasoned, I've accepted and I've laughed.

Right now...I can say I've a little a clarity with .... most of it ... and ready to start my day tomorrow fresh. I cannot control anything but how I react and how I respond and nothing else is in my control.


My family is a mess. It's not just 1 person...it's all of us and everyone. In evaluating my life and dealing with things that have come up...one thing was true...one thing was constant....family. We don't have that anymore. We're hanging on by a thread and 1/2 of us are barely speaking.

Things coming up....in working on my testimony...lots of stuff has come up and I'm having to deal, I'm having to cope and I'm having to grow. It's not anything I can't move past and heal from...but that doesn't take away the emotions that have come up from it. I thought I had a final testimony and then a whole new door was opened. Yikes. Who knew a testimony was so hard!?


If you're offering up some prayers for a random person....I'd love some.... I'm really am doing good. I know I just laid all this out and it's kinda poor pitiful me but it's just where I am. I'm pretty open and deal with my struggles and transitions the same way...so that's where I am. Lots and lots of growth. I'd just love some prayers wrapped around me just because I could always use them ;)

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6

Goals for 2020

So after thinking through this for a while, I've decided to bring this back into my life.  I love to write, I love to express myself and share recipes.  SO...this blog may not always look pretty...it might get messy, because that's life, and I'm too old to pretend it's not.   Goals for 2020: To continue to search for what feeds my soul and not harms it. I'm going to keep up with my health goals and make it another year of weight maintenance.  Walking starts again.  Not about needing to lose, I like everything a bit tighter.  So there you go.  I'm not athletic, I do not LIKE working out.  But I do like walking because of the moment to take a breath and enjoy being outside and listening to good music 💓 I wanted to commit to living my truth...if I say be kind...that means I have to drop some guards and also do just that.  There's been a couple relationships over the years that I wanted to circle back to this year.  Both hav...

Award Winning Salsa

Well…it won an award in my family 🤣 This blog has seen MANY salsa recipes. I LOVE salsa. I’m always trying to perfect my recipe so I tried some different things yesterday and BAM….I mean wowza BAM!!!! Jayme’s Award Winning 😉 Salsa 2lbs Tomatillo, husked and washed and halved 2 Jalapeño, washed, halved, seeded if you’re a wuss.  1 Serrano, washed, remove stem 1 red onion, quartered 1 Lg Tomato 1 Bunch Cilantro 2 Tbs minced garlic  Salt  On a large baking sheet lay out your tomatillos, peppers and onion. Cover the bottom of the pan Chicken stock or water. I also drizzled a little olive oil.  Put in a 350 oven for 75-90 minutes.  Let cool down a bit and throw everything in a food processor.  Holy. Moly. Very restaurant like. Maybe a Cantina Laredo or Haciendas Ranch feel to it. So. Good.  I like it warm so when I go to get it out of the fridge, I just throw in the microwave for a sec.  SO good!

Perpetual diets and a soul change....

I feel like all my life, I've been on a perpetual diet.  Seriously.  Pretty much every day of my life has been a choice.  Some days/months/years I do great.  Others....not so much. I've never been one of those girls.  You know...the ones that always just pulled it off.  Looks, weight, clothes.  Nope.  That is not me.  I've also always had skinny friends.  They ate the same things as me...but I'd notice on me and never on them.  I think I've always aspired in some way to be each of them.  Hell, maybe they keep me in check so I don't ever let myself go to much?  That's some deep thinking stuff! What a funny life.  Then, I had my jaw surgery.  Long recovery.  Long, hard, painful recovery.  I think I just gave myself a pass for the last couple of years.  Because I can tell you...I hadn't been too worried about my weight since then. So.  I had a picture taken of me on August 17th.  As ...
