Vicki — Fri, 29 May 2026 12:03:13 +0000

Last weekend and this past week were full of softball at my house. Underdogs making a run at their best seasons ever. Makes me wonder… do you ever feel like an underdog in your own life? Like maybe the odds are stacked against you before you even step up to the plate? Maybe the other… Read More »

For all of you out there who have hung out with me on Fridays for nearly five years now, thank you. I have a question for you… Ever wonder why I keep writing to y’all every week… or what writing has done and continues to do for me today? For a long time, I thought… Read More »

The Gangs All Here

Vicki — Fri, 15 May 2026 11:27:42 +0000

These past several weeks, working on the new Good Enemies book as well as some short reads and another devotional, my own good enemies have begun to rebel. It’s tough to hold myself steady while dancing with my shadow dwellers. “The Gang,” as they want to be called, walks in at the most inopportune times,… Read More »

No Turning Back Now…

Vicki — Fri, 08 May 2026 11:07:51 +0000

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams… “I never met a strong person who’s had an easy past.” Bear Grylls Life is like a bat-wing door – think old school saloon doors that swing in and out. Sometimes a shift in your “luck” may just need a shift in your perspective but, it only… Read More »

Dance to the Beat of Our Sacred Drummers

Vicki — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 08:00:11 +0000

Dreams are delicate things born out of hope, and desire, and air. They are as vulnerable and as fragile as a butterfly’s wings. They are easily crushed, hard to come by, and not always encouraged but ahhh… Dreams have the power to fuel my journey into the future. They drive me forward like the oars… Read More »

Watching History and Getting to AZ

Vicki — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 10:00:52 +0000

SPLASHDOWN! They are home. Watching history in the making once again, I reminisced about watching John Glenn, watching the first footstep onto the moon, and crying when the Challenger exploded. Pioneers, courageous and brave, paving the way for what the world witnessed last week. In my own little way, I am taking up the challenge… Read More »

A Blank Page, Ham, and Sacred Trees

Vicki — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 12:10:41 +0000

This has been a crazy week filled with appointments which meant lots of doing nothing but hurrying up and waiting. Much like my life these past few months, hurrying up to meet a deadline, hurrying up to get somewhere on time, hurrying up just to wait on the words to come. Our little family pod… Read More »

The Simple Gift of Memory

Vicki — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 10:35:48 +0000

Memory is one of those quiet miracles of being human. Mine slip into my mind without warning and sometimes with forethought, often accompanied by laughter or tears. They can be triggered by a feather found on the ground, a quarter that shows up in a weird place, rainbows, and the scent of pine and manzanita.… Read More »

Turbulence, Taxes, and Take-Out

Vicki — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 12:55:35 +0000

We are living in turbulent times; there is no denying it. The world feels messy, noisy, uncertain, and more demanding than many of us would like. Even in our personal lives, the list of what must be handled daily keeps growing. Worry and concern pull at my thoughts for what little good that will do.… Read More »

Vicki — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 10:49:19 +0000

There is something quietly miraculous about the Spring Equinox. It simply comes, drawing a line of balance between light and dark, inviting you to stay in that sacred middle place and notice what is awakening within you. There are seasons when life asks you to take a moment, to listen, to gather in the wisdom… Read More »
