an adventure in living boldly
Autumn is my favorite season with rich, vibrant colors and the transition to cooler weather after the long, hot days of summer.

Let’s just start this get-together by making sure we both have some coffee, or tea, or whatever your warm beverage of choice may be. Life has been a little bumpy here lately, and it’ll be better to sit and chat over our favorite drinks. Here, in this space, there is only grace. Life doesn’t always […]

I’m sure you’ve heard what “they” say about patience - something along the lines of, “Don’t pray for patience, because you will get plenty of opportunities to work on your patience.” Well, I listened to “them” and stopped praying for patience for a while.

Do you dream big dreams? Do you have some big goals in life? Do you find it easy to dream your dreams? Do you dream big dreams for your family, your children, your friends, your church? When do you dream your dreams - in good times or bad? Why do you dream your dreams - […]

This morning, while sipping my coffee and enjoying a slow start to the day, I was only sort of paying attention to the cartoon my kids had on.

My husband and I have been married for 14 years now - hooray! This year we decided to take a day to go to New York City and see some of the sites. We did a little homework and made a list of a few things we wanted to see, some we hoped to see, […]

Life stories - we all have a variety of them. Some are good, and we love to share those stories. There are other stories, though, that we probably wish we never had to contend with. I think that maybe we forget that our stories are not just for us, they are not solely ours. We are not the […]

I'm Rebekah and I'm so glad you're here! I am on an adventure to live more boldly and to step outside my little "box" where all is safe and secure, and this writing is a big part of that adventure.
