I Will Not Lose My Song

June 6, 2022August 3, 2024 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 5 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, 2022August 3, 2024 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 8 Comments

(****This is the second post in my series on How to Cope 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.  … Continue reading When in Doubt…Dance

Shattered Pot…Made New

I want to let you know how I have the power to become new...even at the old age of 66! First...a question: ✅ Is there something missing in your … Continue reading Shattered Pot…Made New

Cheering You On

February 25, 2022September 9, 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

Get out of the Graveyard!

August 4, 2021August 5, 2021 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 4 Comments

God had me in mind when I stumbled onto the message. Pastor talked about getting stuck in our painful places of grief, regret, disappointment, hurt, rejection, and loss. He said God did not create us to get stuck.  -Raise your hand if you’ve ever been a prisoner to pain. (My hand is up.)  Let me … Continue reading Get out of the Graveyard!

What’s in a Name?

May 4, 2021April 3, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

When I was younger, I studied Kay Arthur’s wonderful Bible Study about the Names of God, “Lord I Want to Know You”. I highly recommend it! God’s names in the Bible reflect His character and how He relates to us - yep, you and me - us common kids down here on dirty earth. Rest … Continue reading What’s in a Name?

The Good Stuff: My Mom

April 16, 2021April 21, 2021 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 6 Comments

I wish I was more like my mom.  My mom is quiet and measured.  I’m loud and impulsive.  My mom is skillful and precise.  I’m sloppy and haphazard.   My mom finishes things well.  I slap-dash through and end up with imperfect projects.  My motto:  It may not be done right...but its done.  My mom’s … Continue reading The Good Stuff: My Mom

Swing

March 11, 2021March 11, 2021 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 2 Comments

My Aunt Betty had the tallest swing I’d ever seen in my life.  Of course, when I first saw her swing, my life had not been lived more than five years. My swing experience was limited.The swing’s tall iron frame loomed high above Uncle Fred’s garage.  I can still see the thick oval chain links … Continue reading Swing
