Greenwashing is when when companies make misleading statements about their actions to appear more environmentally friendly than they actually are. Usually they do this so they can get something passed with the government (or maybe it is the actual government) so they’re supported by the public and affiliates. In our private lives, it’s called virtue-signaling.Continue reading “Greenwashing”

My Ambivert Life
am·bi·vert • noun • /ˈambəˌvərt/ The outgoing introvert. We can get tired from socializing too much. We can be super flexible and are used to things changing.

What’s a Siphon?
I think we’ve all made a siphon. Pull water from a tank into the hose (or gas if you’re super red), put the other end lower, and just watch cohesive energy and gravity do their thing in the vacuum. It sucks it right out until it’s empty or is equal to the level of whereContinue reading “What’s a Siphon?”
Mistake v. Issue
Mistakes and issues are two very different things. A mistake is something we know we did wrong, something we regret, and likely a flub that won’t happen again because when we made it, we were careless or not paying attention. It’s something we don’t want to happen again and we see the error. It’s howContinue reading “Mistake v. Issue”
“I prayed about it.”
One of my favorite things to do, but one of my LEAST FAVORITE retorts to hear. Now let me explain because this is a little touchy…So, we prayed about it. That’s good, I think that’s what we should do. Ask for guidance, ask our friends to join us in prayer, even take a minute toContinue reading ““I prayed about it.””
Want a Do-Over?
Someone asked me the other day what part of my life I’d go back to. I think not one. I would love to have a day or two visit back to a few parts of my life but I can’t think of one part of my life I’d want a do-over for or one thatContinue reading “Want a Do-Over?”
Warning Signs Aren’t Random
Chances are 100% that if you’re on a dangerous road, there have been plenty of warning signs before you get to the 500′ cliff where the “end of construction” sign is. Choosing to ignore them will put you in a big time mess that was completely avoidable. God will give you 1,000+ detours & warningContinue reading “Warning Signs Aren’t Random”
Link vs Kink
A chain is made up of many links, it’s what makes it strong, and adding more to it is what makes it long. A kink in a chain interrupts that process, weakens it, makes it unpredictable, and sometimes makes us throw that chain away or at minimum cut the bad part out. Information flows theContinue reading “Link vs Kink”
Parenting Nuggets
Sometimes being a mama means giving your child the info, providing them with the perspective of the bigger picture that comes from your wisdom through experience, and letting them earn their OWN wisdom through experience. The life lessons I’ve learned the most from are the ones I experienced on my own with the guidance ofContinue reading “Parenting Nuggets”
Turning a Slip into a Faceplant
Ignoring guilt that leads to correction is turning a slip into a fall. We must realize our actions have a ripple effect because we don’t sin in a vacuum & a “whatever” attitude will cause us to fall short in our relationships. It’s healthy to imagine how our actions will impact others & react accordingly,Continue reading “Turning a Slip into a Faceplant”
