Crunch, crunch, crunch – that’s the sound of the leaves I stepped on while walking without music from my playlist today.🎵 It was absolutely delightful!
What seemingly small sounds are speaking to you today? Pay attention…they may hold an unexpected hidden treasure! Blessings, Kayren 😊
P.S. Sharing photos from my weekend walk with my mom – I didn’t realize all the beauty (and duck activity! LOL🦆) of the neighborhood creek when I lived there…funny how time can change your perspective, eh?😏🎁
“Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.”
Recently, I’ve been scheduling my posts a few days in advance.🤓 The planner in me is learning that if I don’t post until that day (or evening), it’s ok, too.👍🏼 Actually, it’s relieving a lot of ridiculously self-imposed stress…I encourage you to try it.🕊
Learning to give ourselves grace is a priceless gift.😇🎁 Earlier this week, I walked in the morning and enjoyed the freshness of the day.
Today, I walked as dusk began to set in, and I was treated to a glimpse of the moon’s magnificence amidst the stunning backdrop of God’s gorgeous Autumn palette.🎨🙌🏽 Sharing photos that don’t come close to capturing the essence of the beauty and peace I experienced “off-schedule.”😏
Here’s to our well-being in this season of Thanksgiving…🍂🍁
“He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.”
I was blessed to visit my parents (who live in another state) this weekend – I’m super-grateful for the great time of fellowship we had with lots of laughs! I was really surprised that several homes already displayed full Christmas decorations.😯 What really got my attention was hearing “The Little Drummer Boy”🥁🎵 piped through one of the Rest Areas. I was like, “Did I miss the memo about being late for Christmas?🎄 Gee whiz, I thought I was early in my Thanksgiving preparations, but am I already behind?!”😳
Don’t get me wrong…I am 150% a Christmas fan – I LOVE to celebrate the miracle of the birth of Christ EVERY DAY🎉 (and my daughter’s been able to pull me into watching Christmas movies at any time of the year LOL).🎁
Yet, I’m being VERY intentional to make SURE I give thanks (and not just one one day!) for ALL the marvelous things God has done in MY life over the past year. Truthfully, I am incorporating an “attitude of gratitude” into my daily reflections and meditations, and finding an exponential improvement in my quality of life with this adjustment!🙌🏽 I invite you to join me in celebrating the season of Thanksgiving BEFORE we get swept away by the festivities of Christmas (as it’s been hyper-commercialized). I’d love to hear how YOU are celebrating this season of Thanksgiving…drop me a comment!😇
Praying we focus on the reason for EVERY season…🙏🏼
Abundant blessings, Kayren💓

“3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.”
Do you struggle with embracing change? I certainly have!

“20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”
We’re not designed to do it all on our own, despite what the world says…😯

“8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
So I’ve been feelin’ pretty crafty lately…and my newest fascination is vinyl wall transfers (better late to the party than never, right?!) LOL
The Frugal Frannie in me couldn’t pass up the “bless our home” sign sporting the big red markdown sticker – OVER 50% off…SCORE! Imagine my horrific chagrin when I discovered – after watching a YouTube tutorial on proper application techniques, following the directions, and being ready to create my amateur masterpiece – the sign in the container did NOT match the package. It said, “less our home.”
In this harvest season, I am focused on setting an atmosphere of abundance and gratitude, so this incomplete sale item posed a philosophical quandary. Determined to make it work, I took the flourish that was to go at the bottom of the phrase, turned it sideways, and posited, “If I can make that curlicue look like the letter B and place it properly, I may be able to pull this off without a comprehension faux pas.”
So whaddya think – did I succeed in making lemonade from the lemons I was handed in that tightly sealed and unpreviewable container?
I think my improvisation is another lovely (& budget-friendly) addition to my Laundry Room spruce-up…works for me!😉👍🏼
What little things are bringing you joy this week? I’d love for you to drop me a comment to share…
“Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
This is what my healthy breakfast looks like at 10pm the prior night. When I DON’T plan ahead, I may fall into the trap of convenience (that looks a lot like leftover from lunch tater tots and ketchup, or whatever I can grab quickly between meetings). Then I’m grouchy and hangry because I unwisely picked something that neither satisfied nor adequately nourished me. Can you relate?😏
Advance preparation helps set us up for success. What are some healthy habits YOU can’t afford to skip? Drop me a comment! #BetterEveryDay #WorkInProgress #SuccessIsMyChoice
“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.”
(Exodus 23:20)
“So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.”
