http://revrach.blogspot.com/2015/02/piece-of-mind-on-being-mindful.html
Saturday, February 7, 2015. Piece of Mind: On Being Mindful. Breathe. Be present. Be in the moment, releasing what holds me back. Let my thoughts quiet down. acknowledge the distraction and gently allow it to float away. Ahh yes, sweet sweet breaths. Damn is that flea bite on my ankle? Breathing and letting all the stress and anxiety go. Ahhh yes. Being one with the univer-. Oh that itches so bad. Sounds of dog scratching). Yes my sweet Lilly pup brings me feelings of joy and happiness. Do I have vinegar?

Rach on Retreat: The Super Moon in my Belly
http://revrach.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-super-moon-in-my-belly.html
Sunday, July 13, 2014. The Super Moon in my Belly. As much as it grieves me to admit this. I am a sensitive person. I think "grief" is the correct word. Maybe embarrassed? It's a vulnerable thing to admit to. Much less to you guys. That's also assuming that I've kept it a secret, which is really more like I didn't want to believe it while those around me see it everyday. Being honest with myself, then, I admit it - I'm a dote. A good dote. but a dote. What does this have to do with my belly? Two words: e...

Rach on Retreat: December 2012
http://revrach.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 3, 2012. It's curious to me how a person's influence becomes all the more enhanced by their exit from this world. And I suppose that's the crux of what it means to grieve. that moment when a person is no longer physically attainable. Surely this is something that not only happens in death, but in any situation where loss is a factor. What I don't always account for, however, is the impact of said loss on ME. Sure, this is my job. This is what I do. And I'm good at it. I've learned to imp...

Penny For Your Thoughts: July 2008
http://pennygirl007.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Penny For Your Thoughts. Monday, July 28, 2008. I held her. I sung to her. Then I left. Over the next few weeks, I got to know this baby and her mom very well. The baby, I learned, had been struggling this way for months. Struggling just to breathe. The mom, after so much agony of watching her child had decided to put her on DNR. 8220;How can you make a decision like that? 8221; I heard a nurse say. How does any decision in that situation feel right, I wonder? I feel that I, too, wait in the chaos; I too...

Musings of a Country Girl: Another Policeman Story
http://countrygirlmusings.blogspot.com/2008/10/another-policeman-story.html
Musings of a Country Girl. A middle-aged country girl from a little bitty town seeking God's will in this great big world. Friday, October 3, 2008. Needless to say, when this collection of important material is hanging from your clothing, it's a big heavy obstruction, so when I get in the car, it's usually one of the first things that comes off. Second only to my shoes. Maybe I won't complain about the weight of the badge ever again. And I definitely won't cut through the bank parking lot EVER again.

Musings of a Country Girl. A middle-aged country girl from a little bitty town seeking God's will in this great big world. Thursday, February 26, 2009. One reason for the change in food choices is the fact that I must chew everything very well in order for it to sit well in the new pouch a.k.a my stomach. The more I chew, the worse it tastes, so I eat less. Have you ever chewed a piece of baked chicken 127 times? 160;If you did, you'd never eat it again. . 160;And, it satisfies my sweet tooth. I am an...

I have been so blessed since I last visited with you back in the summer of '09. That sounds so long ago, but believe me, the time has sprinted by and all I could do is stand amazed. I will try to bring you up to speed on what's been going on in the life of this country girl. A couple of weeks went by and I heard not...

Musings of a Country Girl. A middle-aged country girl from a little bitty town seeking God's will in this great big world. Tuesday, August 19, 2008. This past Saturday I attended a mini-reunion of my graduating class. At the risk of giving away my age, it was our 30th Class Reunion. 30 years! I can't believe I've been out of high school that long. It seems only a few weeks ago I graduated from Campbell. OH, IT WAS! Anyway, back to the reunion. Friday, August 8, 2008. Well, it's official! Now, I am in the...
