Looking Beyond Loss

July 24, 2022July 24, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

I’ve got pretty good vision, but I’ve been having trouble seeing lately.  There’s a drape of confusion and pain covering stuff around me and, I have to admit, it’s hard for me to see beyond my loss.   God’s patient with me, though.  He’ll help me figure it out.   God will help you figure … Continue reading Looking Beyond Loss

Don’t Worry: Walk!

July 4, 2022July 5, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

Sometimes I walk  a windswept beach. An orange ball dips. Golden light settles on the horizon. Sunset prize over, other beach walkers move back inside.  I’m alone. I walk and let the dark shore cloak me. Peace pulls at my toes.  Weary waves sing me home.  Sometimes I walk down 21 stairsteps to a mosaic … Continue reading Don’t Worry: Walk!

I Will Not Lose My Song

June 6, 2022June 11, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 4 Comments

I will not lose my song.  At 65 I can’t remember where I left my keys, but I can remember every word of a Broadway showtune.  Since I was little, I loved to sing.  I believe singing is a God gift.  God gave me a little body and a big mouth - What can I … Continue reading I Will Not Lose My Song

When in Doubt…Dance

June 1, 2022June 1, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 8 Comments

This is my second post in my series on Coping with Tough Times. I’m not a dancer, but I love to dance. Most of my movements are deemed goofy by my kids. As a matter of fact, for about 20 years, while they were home, I  relegated dancing to the basement.  But now... I’m alone.  … Continue reading When in Doubt…Dance

Whimsical

May 22, 2022May 22, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 8 Comments

I can’t say the word: “whimsical” without smiling. There’s something about the word.  Whimsy is like a joyful secret no one knows but you.   ✅ When times are tough, it doesn’t hurt to be a bit whimsical.    ✅ Celebrate the silliness of the senses.   ✅ Notice the music of the mundane.  ✅ … Continue reading Whimsical

Cracked to Shattered…and Back Again

May 6, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 4 Comments

✅ I’ve always jokingly referred to myself as a cracked pot ✅ Little did I know I’d be shattered ✅ For the past two years, I’ve dealt with the cold, cruel chaos of trauma. ✅ Some of you know...some of you don’t...My love of 40 years chose to walk away from our marriage .   … Continue reading Cracked to Shattered…and Back Again

Shattered Pot…Made New

March 21, 2022March 25, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 11 Comments

Slowing down a minute to drop this note. In the future I’ll be sharing more about how this Type A “cracked pot” became shattered, but...for today... I want to let you know how I have the power to become new...even at the old age of 65! First...a question: ✅ Is there something missing in your … Continue reading Shattered Pot…Made New

Cheering You On

February 25, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 7 Comments

I’ve always been a performer, but not a cheerleader. I was a short little nerdy girl in high school so I gravitated to the stage...not the cheer squad. . I guess I’m a cheerleader at heart, however.   Years ago, when I created my one-woman show, “Confessions of a Type A Lady,” I incorporated a … Continue reading Cheering You On

It’s gonna be OK

February 13, 2022February 13, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 12 Comments

“Of course we’re canceling rehearsals on Valentine’s Day.”  He shouted  this out flippantly.   All the couples in the room laughed a ‘why of course’ laugh and went about their busyness . I stood in my self-made circle, swallowing hard.  Quick, drink some water. Pain washed through me with the water. I smiled and nodded … Continue reading It’s gonna be OK

Going Home

January 17, 2022January 17, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 15 Comments

I grew up in one of the poorest cities in the US.  Poverty rate is 43.1%.  Roughly one out of every 2.3 residents lives in poverty. I lived there like a miniature warrior, without fear, focused on fun and forever play. Mom and dad helped me by keeping me busy and distracted from any hardships.  … Continue reading Going Home
