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, …

Be a Light ☀️

On January 5, 2021 By Simcha MellingLeave a comment

Misty January afternoon on the pond ... It’s hard to see light and joy sometimes, especially when the skies are so gray and the world is in chaos… I sometimes wonder if there will ever be an end to the lockdowns, masks, political and social division, and the intrusion on our way of life. But …

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 …

4 Tips For the Young Mom Overwhelmed With Choices

On July 19, 2020July 20, 2020 By Simcha Melling1 Comment

Moms have so many decisions to make. It can be very overwhelming and confusing. We have ideals in our head of how we want to parent, what methods of discipline or type of diapering we’ll use. We read all the books, blog posts, articles, watch YouTube videos, listen to podcasts on this method or that. …

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 …

The Turquoise Picnic Table:

On April 24, 2020April 25, 2020 By Simcha Melling4 Comments

About a year ago, I was listening to a podcast episode while at work. It was all about finding community and connection in your front yard. The guest, Kristin Schell, told her story about feeling the need to slow down and experience connection. She was inspired to create community in her front yard by painting …

Letter from My Future Self:

Dear Simcha, Hi, it’s me, your future self. I just thought I’d drop a note. I know you don’t always want to hear from me (you tend to be very focused on the present). But it’s good to look up and look ahead so you can refocus and pivot if you need to.  I know …

This is My New Year Post

On January 1, 2020August 15, 2020 By Simcha Melling5 Comments

It’s been quite a decade!! I feel like it’s been a race to the end of this year. I’ve been sick the last three weeks, which isn’t fun having to still go to work. The persistent cough pulled some chest muscles and has been downright miserable. Tonight I finished work, came home and did as …

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 …
