About Me

My photo
Anacortes, Washington, United States
This is my testimony - my testimony of faith and lack thereof; of the rising and falling of hopes and dreams; of beliefs and disbelief's; of tremendous heartache and human folly; of reaching out and stepping out when all I want at times is to is pull back and step away. At the age of 30 I was diagnosed with a very rare neurological condition called Post-traumatic Syringomyelia (PTS). Please visit my post on PTS. One of my goals is to increase awareness of this terminal condition. Broken to Grace is not yet released. Follow this blog to receive an email when the final release date is announced. God bless, Ronda

Rest ~ the fresh trail of tomorrow awaits a refreshed you.


"As you lay your head down at the end of this days journey, remind yourself that it is a journey you are on. You need this time to rest. It does no good now to ponder what you wish you would've accomplished in the time that is behind you, or give worry to tomorrows trail. Let go and give way to rest, so your journey can begin anew as if no time has passed.

  1. Hey Rae,
    I take power naps when I get tired. I am definitely more focused and productive when I wake up.

  2. Power naps are wonderful little morsels in the middle of the day, aren't they!? Sometimes I can pull that off - other times I do a power rest and stretch =) Seems like more men can pull off a good power nap over women.

  3. You must avoid wishing that you had done this or that you had done that or else you will make the situation worse and you will attract more wishes instead of decisions.

  5. Absolutely Lawrence - live on purpose, do everything on purpose - that's where wishes and dreams move into happenings and realities. And if it wasn't meant to be, move forward. Looking back is where regret is created in our hearts. That is a sad and stagnant place to live indeed.
