Faith and Friendship: No Boundaries

November 6, 2022 / conniesedona317 / 5 Comments

In last week's post, Return to Jekyll Island, I'd made a stop in Georgia, retracing steps from my first intentional solo journey, and was headed on to my final destination of Florida. This is how I introduced the reason for my trip: "I'll be reunited with a friend from the Netherlands who I met at … Continue reading Faith and Friendship: No Boundaries

Return to Jekyll Island

October 30, 2022 / conniesedona317 / 6 Comments

It's been seventeen years since I took my solo journey to Jekyll Island, Georgia. That trip followed a triumphant visit with my oncologist. I'd made it to that important five-year mark post triple-negative breast cancer. I'd also made it to my fiftieth birthday and the trip to Jekyll was my gift to myself. I'd learned … Continue reading Return to Jekyll Island

Order My Steps

October 23, 2022 / conniesedona317 / 4 Comments

Sometimes, when I realize the passing of time, it hits me like a gut punch. That happened this morning when I saw my note from three years ago in my devotional book. I'd commented on attending my cousin's son's wake and the weight of that grief, her loss as a mother. How can that be, … Continue reading Order My Steps

Seasons: Online Dating

October 9, 2022October 9, 2022 / conniesedona317 / 8 Comments

I left in summer for Scotland and returned in fall--with the trees in the beginning of their autumnal hues and displays of pumpkins and mums in stores and on porches. How quickly life moves forward from day to day and season to season. It catches me by surprise--no matter how much I orient myself with … Continue reading Seasons: Online Dating

Saturday in Edinburgh

September 10, 2022 / conniesedona317 / 7 Comments

It was a clear, no-cloud-in-the-sky day in Edinburgh, with an expectant chill in the air like a late fall football Saturday in North Carolina. "Unusual for a day in Scotland," said our waitress . After a long night's sleep, my cousin, Kim and I sat down to a breakfast of scrambled cheese eggs, haggis, Scottish … Continue reading Saturday in Edinburgh

Mattie B : Beta Reader

August 14, 2022August 14, 2022 / conniesedona317 / 9 Comments

Last Monday following my weekly post the day before, "Swimming Lessons," I thought about ideas for upcoming posts. I never know when the ideas will come, so when they do, I pay attention. I'd just completed a draft of my preface and Chapter I of the sequel to my memoir, He Heard My Voice, published … Continue reading Mattie B : Beta Reader

Non-Negotiables: Online Dating

July 24, 2022 / conniesedona317 / 14 Comments

Over the past months as I've ventured further into the world of dating, I've been chewing on the concept of Non-Negotiables. With the online match sites, I've read hundreds of profiles since I joined almost two years ago. In those descriptions of what that person is like, what they're looking for, they begin outlining their … Continue reading Non-Negotiables: Online Dating

Back Home on the Farm

July 17, 2022 / conniesedona317 / 7 Comments

The one time of year I miss being a child the most is summer. I have a deep yearning to be back there on our farm, feeling the dirt under my bare feet, watching a sudden shower from the cover of our front porch, playing until the dark's only light is dancing fire flies. I … Continue reading Back Home on the Farm

Happy 99th Birthday, Mama!

July 10, 2022 / conniesedona317 / 11 Comments

Today would have been Mama's 99th birthday. She died in April of 2020 in the midst of the pandemic--not from Covid but from a natural end-of-life after years of decline from dementia. Our family was lucky that the disease did not impact her personality as it does with many; she remained a gentle and kind … Continue reading Happy 99th Birthday, Mama!

Free to Be You: Free to Be Me

July 3, 2022 / conniesedona317 / 4 Comments

Tomorrow our country will celebrate Independence Day, paying tribute to our hard-earned freedom made possible by men and women in uniform. Compared to the last two years, we'll be able to participate in a variety of gatherings without the restrictions we experienced when Covid was a greater concern. But despite the ability to move about, … Continue reading Free to Be You: Free to Be Me
