Forward!

Hey 2025 …

I’m saddling up, climbing on, and riding into your sunset. Forward into 2026 and whatever God has for me.

Selecting a word for the coming new year is a thing, right? Well, my word for 2026 is “Forward”.

“moving toward a place, a point or a time”
“advancing”
“relating to the future”

After my 2025, “Forward” is definitely appropriate for me. Maybe for you as well.

Forward denotes advancement—moving in a direction away from whatever it is you want to leave behind. Maybe you want to leave behind the pain of loss and its grief, financial woes, bad relationships, or stress from a home renovation that is taking waaaaaaaay too long!

Where do I begin …

Is it just me or do you feel the same?

This past weekend, my family got a little lesson in joy.

It’s No Mystery…

What do you see in your mind’s eye when you think of Easter?

  • Spring
  • Flowers
  • Newness
  • Frilly dresses
  • Colored Eggs
  • Baskets of goodies
  • Chocolate Bunnies (I’m an ears first kinda girl)


Many memories from my childhood fall into that list. I mean, who doesn’t love a cute little bunny bringing chocolate eggs?

These are fun things we enjoy at Easter but, is that what it’s all about? The true meaning may seem like a mystery, but it’s not!
