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

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

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

Dorothy…You’re Not in Kansas Anymore

December 31, 2021December 31, 2021 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 2 Comments

Where in the world am I ? Dorothy - you’re not in Kansas anymore.   Sirens are unceasing.  Horns blast.  Right now two men are arguing below my kitchen window...something about a parking space, which is as rare as gold in the dirty streets of this city block. I guess they figure it’s worth fighting … Continue reading Dorothy…You’re Not in Kansas Anymore

Heads Bowed…Harvest Time

September 26, 2021October 8, 2021 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 2 Comments

I’ve love watching the corn. Corn grew steady and tall, like soldiers guarding country roads.   The beautiful green stalks could be a hideout.  Once, I climbed in.  Nestled there in the whispering row, I found peace. I loved the corn and the tall shelter it provided.   But now, it’s harvest time.  The harvesters … Continue reading Heads Bowed…Harvest Time

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!

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
