Settle Down

March 15, 2023March 15, 2023 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 2 Comments

I’ve been on the move.  I need to settle down.  I need to talk about sitting in sorrow. There’s a lot to be said for sitting and observing what’s going on around you, even in tough times. Of course, no one wants to be in an uncomfortable place very long. We want to get away … Continue reading Settle Down

Fill ‘er Up.

December 29, 2022December 31, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 4 Comments

A wise person told me we won’t have much to give if we don’t fill up every once in a while. This is a story of filling.  I wasn’t dressed for a snowy walk. I headed to the post office in leaky rubber clogs and an old tattered sweatshirt. No gloves.   I grabbed my … Continue reading Fill ‘er Up.

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!

When in Doubt…Dance

June 1, 2022September 9, 2022 ~ 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

March 21, 2022September 9, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 12 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, 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

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

Grief and Healing Come in Waves

October 23, 2021September 9, 2022 ~ 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
