FEBRUARY:

"Little by little, I am starting to see myself differently and believe that lasting change is possible."

~Marathon Monday #8, 2-3-25

"Everything about it is funny and quotable, and I love Tina and Amy's friendship and how much they enjoyed this (according to both of their audiobooks)!"

~SNL Top 10, 2-8-25

"Chettles, talking about his open house:  "Yeah, it's just down the street and to the right.  You can't miss my sign in the yard!!"

Me, knowing I absolutely missed it on my way there:  Maaaaybe don't underestimate me. ;-)"

~February Fun, 2-10-25

"The 14-mile jog this weekend felt like such a metaphor for all that I'm wrestling with internally.  It was hella foggy when I got out there that morning, and much brighter and clearer by the time I left.  I was feeling weak and tired in the beginning, and strong and proud in the end!  (And physically exhausted.)  It was cold outside the entire time, but I felt better as I warmed up internally.  I spent 14 miles feeding my soul encouragement and truth - and my mind, body, soul, and spirit felt better for it!"

~Marathon Monday #10, 2-17-25

"Well, this is 41.  It's off to a slightly painful and slow beginning, but I am getting back up, and I'm believing it will be a beautiful year ahead!"

~Wandering Wednesday, 2-19-25

"When I need to really boil it down and clearly articulate my calling and work as a counselor, I'm going with: "My passion is empowering people who feel stuck to move forward with hope and purpose!!"

~Catalyst, 2-23-25

Me (explaining my 75-Soft plan):  "Yeah, I'm throwing myself into online dating in this season.  Sooo the men of the world have 75 days, and then..." (I was pausing trying to think how to phrase adoption/embryo adoption/focusing on motherhood)

Chettles:  "Nunnery!!" lolol
