Adventures Of Our Life!

You know that feeling when you're in a crowded room full of people and you still feel isolated?  That is the period of life that I would say that I am in! Not that I need anybody to feel sorry for me or to make judgment on this part of my life! What I am saying is sometimes God will put you in a place, and let me preface this with saying that everybody's isolation is different, that will isolate you from others lives, drama, concerns, etc. Because he is trying to draw you closer to him. He is fulfilling your heart's desire! To be closer to God is comforting. Isn't that our whole goal here on this Earth? Didn't he put us here for his concern, his love, his attention?  We get so carried away with our everyday lives that we forget to go to him for advice, for direction, for conversation. I know some will absolutely go, conversation? how do you have a conversation with God? I challenge you! Growing closer to God is like having a physical friendship with a hu...

I'm back!  I made it back home. Now when I got here to Clinton Montana I had every intention of staying close to my Tom. But God always has different plan and sometimes it's hard to read God's plan. But looking back I can see where he was working in the background in my chaos!  So let's go back a bit to catch everybody up on what's happened. Since my last post I sold the Yellow She Shack Mercantile in Marquand Missouri. A family of folks took it over and put their spin on it. I wish them much success! At present, I'm in the process of selling my home front property down there in Missouri and purchasing a property in Montana.  When I left there in June I had hired a moving company to move me. That turned into a disaster! A few friends and myself packed up the U-Hauls and we drove to Clinton in 3 days. It was a good trip. I prayed the whole way!  After putting my friends on a plane I contacted, via Facebook marketplace, some folks who volunteered to help me unload...

Woohoo! Isn't that a sight to see?  Soon I will be back in my home! After the loss of my husband in 2023, I dove into the building that the two of us had acquired earlier in the year. I have made it into a successful little store in such a tiny little town of Marquand Missouri! And for two years I have immersed myself in this little store. It has been a mission of love! I wanted to finish the project that the two of us had started. And now that I have done what I set out to do I'm ready to go home to Montana.  Tom and I never intended on staying here this long. We moved here in 2013 and I'm still here. So with that said, I am moving back to Clinton Montana for the time being and will take some time to heal and breathe in some fresh air and heal. As a lot of you know, this girl has been through a lot in her life.  I have a realtor set up and a surveyor set up for next week for the property that I'm on right now. And I have to get a shipper for my horse and his coggins an...

So last night I was asked to go out to dinner with a few friends. They asked me while I was at the store what time that it would be convenient for me and I told them 6:00 p.m. . So I run home after I shut down the store and take care of my dogs and go to the local eatery. Get my truck parked go in there's a huge wedding going on and I'm seated asked me how many people were coming I said I don't know there's probably going to be four of us all together. And sat and waited! And waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited...... So you catch my drift! Half hour goes by then it's 45 minutes.... By this time I am really I'm not happy camper. I don't hardly ever go out for supper so for me to say yes to this it takes a lot for me to do that cuz I am by myself. No significant other to go with me. Anyway I was really angry. Because I had said specifically they asked me 6:00 and here they don't show up. So I walked out the door and as ...

So here we are July 26th 2024 and I thought I would touch base with y'all! I know I'm not on here as much as I probably should be but this is more of a journal, raw journal of my journey through grief.  So I usually talk through my blog so hopefully it makes sense again it's raw, possibly unedited in places!  So I'm at the point now where we are 9 months into this loss. And I can't believe I've made it through this part of it I mean when you first lose your loved one you're not sure if you're going to make it till the next day or even the next hour or the next minute. It's very surreal like an out-of-body experience almost. You're so numb and so devastated by your grief that you don't know if you're going to make it through it all. Reminds me of the scene in steel magnolias where oh I just had her name in my head where the mother I can't remember her name, the mother was crying one minute then she composed herself and then she is cryi...
