I Need a New Adventure

January 19, 2021January 21, 2021 / Elaina / 1 Comment

The days repeat, each day bearing resemblance to the one before. In the quiet of my evenings, as the day fades and I prepare for a new one, I think about what the months ahead will bring. I long for change. I wait, not so patiently (though I try), for what has eluded me so … Continue reading I Need a New Adventure

Hitting the Reset Button: Choosing my “Word” for 2021

December 30, 2020January 1, 2021 / Elaina / Leave a comment

There's always a spark of hope at the end of each year, as I think about what could be around the corner. That has been true for me every year - except in 2019 - funny enough. At the end of each year, as I dream about a New Year, instead of resolutions I don't … Continue reading Hitting the Reset Button: Choosing my “Word” for 2021

The Battle is Between our Ears

December 10, 2020 / Elaina / Leave a comment

The photo below was posted today on Pastor Craig Groeschel's Facebook page. The timing was perfect. I've been working really hard at keeping my mind focused and on what I can control versus the vast world around me that I simply cannot. What can I control? Not much. I can control what I allow to … Continue reading The Battle is Between our Ears

Wellness – OneWord 365 Update

June 28, 2020June 28, 2020 / Elaina / Leave a comment

Every year I choose one word for my year {versus resolutions}. This year's word took forever to decide on, but once I did, it became very clear it was the word. But then we all know what a nose dive 2020 took. Straight into the crapper. Between a global pandemic, working from home and feeling … Continue reading Wellness – OneWord 365 Update

Live well. Be well.

February 11, 2020February 11, 2020 / Elaina / 3 Comments

I don't like to wonder about the "what-ifs" in life. I have made it my goal to not reach the end of my days with more regrets piled up, than chances taken. While the road hasn't been straight & I've crashed and burned a few times, I would rather live fully & dream big, then … Continue reading Live well. Be well.

New Year. Not New You?

December 31, 2018 / Elaina / 4 Comments

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on … Continue reading New Year. Not New You?

Foster Care Adventures – Part Two

October 17, 2016October 17, 2016 / Elaina / 1 Comment

October 2015, a little guy hung around at work, for a week or so. On Wednesday of that week, he "helped" me work. He sat on my lap, we hung out with friends, and then he played with my calculator & drew with my pens. He feel asleep there at my desk, in my arms, … Continue reading Foster Care Adventures – Part Two
