 Healing Garden

September 5, 2022September 5, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 2 Comments

 Gardens settle my heart. When I was forced to move, my wise friend and sister told me, “Laurie you need a place to dig in the dirt.”  And so began my therapy. It was a hard deadline.   Two barns, a garage,  a basement, fifteen rooms, forty-plus years of life had to be vacated .  … Continue reading  Healing Garden

Feeling Low? Laugh! 

August 28, 2022September 9, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

Sometimes I watch mindless comedies. I laugh loud and hard at the jokes. Good thing I’m alone. My guffaws fill the room. “Laugh” is number seven on my Top Ten Tips for Coping.  Please embrace laughter in your day.   My daughter buddies are quick to laugh. Silliness can saturate their room.  Their giggles are … Continue reading Feeling Low? Laugh! 

Top Ten Tips on Coping! #6 Write!

August 22, 2022September 9, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

✅ Worried? ✅ Worn out? ✅ Write it down!  Write is number six on my Top Ten List for Coping. I write a lot.  In 1963 when I was 7, my Grandad handed me a little General Electric notebook.  It was a tiny, bound datebook, an early advertising give-away.  To me...it was a treasure. I … Continue reading Top Ten Tips on Coping! #6 Write!

Looking Beyond Loss

July 24, 2022September 9, 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, 2022September 9, 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, 2022September 9, 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

Whimsical

May 22, 2022September 9, 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

Shattered Pot…Made New

March 21, 2022September 9, 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

It’s gonna be OK

February 13, 2022September 9, 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

Get out of the Graveyard!

August 4, 2021August 5, 2021 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 2 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!
