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

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

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 ~ 9 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

Most Thankful

November 20, 2021February 7, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 4 Comments

I sat in the sun today. There. I admit it.  I walked the path in the windy, sunlit afternoon.   Down the path, over the curve,  the sun dazzled me.  It kissed my cheeks and warmed my neck.  That’s why I just sat right down… and stayed there.   There was a convenient bed of … Continue reading Most Thankful

Grief and Healing Come in Waves

October 23, 2021October 27, 2021 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 2 Comments

Two things come in waves: ✅ Grief ✅ Healing I often walk the waves.  Maybe it’s because of the grief.  Life literally pulled the rug out from under my feet.  I’ve lost my dream and it will not be coming back. Grief is inevitable.  So...I walk. The cold stinging wash wakes me up. The motion … Continue reading Grief and Healing Come in Waves

Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant

September 13, 2021September 15, 2021 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 2 Comments

I almost didn’t go. After all, why waste the gas? Besides....I’m sick of crying. Who goes to a cemetery on Labor Day, for goodness sake? I’ll admit I was feeling down. I’ve lost some good friends lately. I was alone at home on a family weekend and life seemed...well, unfair. I made myself go. It’s … Continue reading Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant

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!
