Even as I begin typing tonight, my fingers still feel the lingering frostiness of ice.  It’s ironic, actually.  My heart is melting.  It’s been a deeply heartfelt and fully lived day, and I have felt the urge to write for … Continue reading →

When I decided that Sundays in Lent were the only days I would write here on my personal blog, I thought I was giving myself a break.  I’m still writing every day, but during Lent this year, I’m writing daily on … Continue reading →

Posted on December 21, 2014 by harasprice

Advent Words: Heal and Thank

Posted on December 20, 2014 by harasprice

I sit tonight with two days of advent words on my mind and in my heart: “heal” and “thank.” I was in travel-mode yesterday, in route to visit family. So, I set aside my nightly writing to enjoy the family … Continue reading →

Advent Word: Risk

Posted on December 13, 2014 by harasprice

Advent Word: Wake Up!

Posted on December 10, 2014 by harasprice
