Deer in Real Life

On November 11, 2021November 11, 2021 By Simcha MellingLeave a comment

Real life is often messy and unpredictable. That fact is one I’m constantly bumping up against because of perfectionism and insecurities. I used to think I wasn’t an anxious person, but as I became an adult and lived life I swiftly realized I’d been lying to myself. Now I’ve been on a journey of self-improvement …

Are You “Walking Through Fires” Right Now?

On January 28, 2021October 12, 2021 By Simcha MellingLeave a comment

https://youtu.be/XOrSj9w01xw This song moves me to tears every time I listen to it. I heard it for the first time on the radio as I hopped into my minivan on Tuesday (Jan 26) morning to drive into work on the potentially icy roads. I’m still working through the fear about driving on ice and snow, …

One Year Blog Anniversary

On October 25, 2020October 25, 2020 By Simcha MellingLeave a comment

Hi everyone! It’s been one year since the beginning of my blog! I can’t even believe that. 17 posts later, here we are. This year has been the craziest year of my existence to date. I’m pretty sure it might be how everyone else feels, too- not that it’s a contest. Along with Covid, quarantines, …

The Day Before My Life Did a 180

On August 15, 2020August 17, 2020 By Simcha MellingLeave a comment

I distinctly remember the evening before the BIG decision. My friends and I went to a local church for a women’s night out event. They had vendor booths, a food court, worship music and a motivational talk. I texted a collage of silly photos I made depicting myself waiting in the car for my friends …

The Time I Accidentally Effected Change

On June 21, 2020June 22, 2020 By Simcha MellingLeave a comment

The post office on a good day can be crazy. The employees are harried and grumpy a lot I’ve noticed. Lines are long and customers are sour. But the realities of Covid-19 changed the line lengths in the post office lobby. Which should actually be quite nice, right? So you’d think… I’ve been selling off …

Adventures in Australia, Part 2: The Huntsman…Spider

On February 10, 2020February 22, 2020 By Simcha Melling3 Comments

It was a hot day in Brisbane, Australia, circa 2008. The screened windows were all open to catch a cross breeze from the street out front, to the river-fed creek at the back. We lived in a beautiful home built by my husband’s parents in the 60’s. It had wood floors with an unfinished basement …

Changing Seasons: Faith Over Fear

On November 17, 2019August 17, 2020 By Simcha MellingLeave a comment

As my family has settled into our new normal, we’re all trying to figure out new rhythms and routines. My husband’s job schedule changed to second shift, so we’ve been getting used to not having him at home in the evenings. It’s a little challenging at times. Sometimes I want to come home and just …

Kick Fear to the Curb

On November 1, 2019November 18, 2019 By Simcha MellingLeave a comment

You guys, I am absolutely terrified to drive in wintery road conditions! Seriously, my heart beats faster, my face flushes, and I get all tensed up… for the whole drive. When I was a stay at home/homeschooling mom, whenever there were bad road conditions I *usually* could choose to stay home. Occasionally I’ve had to …
