Little somethings: June 2012
http://littlesomethingsfromtoday.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
That make up a life. Thursday, June 28, 2012. Whilst drying my hair this morning, the thought crossed my mind that I haven't read the good women project. In a good long while. I'm fairly certain that thought was divinely inspired. the current topic they are tackling is close to my heart right now, and I quickly stumbled upon two articles I needed to read. And 10 things I learned about burnout and missing out. I love it when God uses his followers - even ones I have never met - to encourage and teach me.

Little somethings: September 2012

That make up a life. Monday, September 17, 2012. A dose of perspective. Today was kind of a lousy day. not the kind of bad day I know a lot of people have - ones with sick family members or accidents or not having enough to eat - but rather a 1st world, petty-ish kind of bad day. An overwhelming sense of inadequacy at my job, coupled with a horrible day in the academic world, led to feeling like a pretty crappy person. What meaning does all this have, Ashley? Will you remember this in a month? I know thi...

Little somethings: March 2014

That make up a life. Friday, March 7, 2014. I turned another year older this week. birthdays never really seem to affect me too much - I feel loved on by the wonderful people in my life for 24 hours, and then it's back to life as we know it. but because I feel like I've been struggling and growing and learning this year, I thought I would reflect a little and capture those thoughts. I've learned you can only control how you react/act in a situation. I can't control others, and I also shouldn't let th...

Little somethings: December 2013
http://littlesomethingsfromtoday.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
That make up a life. Thursday, December 12, 2013. It's advent season. the season characterized specifically by waiting. By nature, I'm not a patient person. I hate traffic and lines and thinking way far ahead into the future. But I suppose advent is a different kind of waiting. waiting with joyful anticipation of celebrating something wonderful and beautiful and well.the most important thing! Sacrifice. love. grace. mercy. That we need in midst of heartache and pain. the kind that brings us to our kn...

That make up a life. Wednesday, November 6, 2013. If you live in cubicle world like I do, you know about office communicator. sometimes used for conference call comments (what'd she say? I zoned out.), important work questions (can you send me.), and of course some good old-fashioned humor to get you through the day. I was thinking.surely she'll explain. and she did. she followed it with: "sometimes a word will jump out at me. and if it jumps out several times as I'm looking for something...I totally bel...

That make up a life. Sunday, September 14, 2014. Sometimes I need to write just to get the swirling thoughts in my head out. in one organized place. in hopes that they will stop swirling and form some profound conclusion. and while this rarely, if ever, happens, I think it helps me in some small way. So this is really for me. I refocused on the day and its glory. what a wonderful day. sunshine and a temperature most perfect for soaking up the season. early fall at its finest. and then flo...My promises a...

That make up a life. Monday, June 24, 2013. The calendar days are slowing diminishing, and sometimes this hits me like a wall. a wave of emotion and fear and sadness and disbelief all mingle and crash over my consciousness. it's been building up, but I've put it on the back shelf of my mind, right behind my five year plan and what I'm going to do when I grow up. Moving has become something I've been able to deal with from a distance. but distance is creeping closer. And my family has been incredible.

Little somethings: November 2013
http://littlesomethingsfromtoday.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
That make up a life. Thursday, November 14, 2013. Have you been in a place where pain seemed to linger? Or rather, caught you off guard at random moments throughout the day? Like suddenly, the feeling sweeps over you and you can't breathe. Sometimes heartaches can feel like that. As I have walked through this season, I have thought of "what if's" and "if I hadn't" and regrets and wishes and wonderings. I think there is something beautiful about sharing our battle scars. the things that have shaped us...

Little somethings: October 2013
http://littlesomethingsfromtoday.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
That make up a life. Wednesday, October 2, 2013. I love the imagery of seasons. the way the physical, earthly seasons parallel our physical, early seasons in life. Seasons are fascinating and difficult and beautiful. when you're in the heart of one season, it seems like it will never change. think about it: when you're building a snowman or sweating balls in the heat of summer, are you thinking about how the next season is coming? I surely am not. But it's hard to remember the spring when you're in fall.
