Resetting Creativity: Trusting A New Process
I haven't written a blog post in a few months. 2026 started out a bit wild and I've been riding the rapids. It has mostly been an enjoyable ride - just a lot of unexpected turns and things to manage along the way. I'm more fortified against these types of things...
The December Post
The year is winding down. I am enjoying a sense of life happening in a way that feels at ease. I don't mean that the sometimes randomness of the human experience isn't happening to me like everyone else, but I am adapting more and more fluidly and with God as my...
Playfulness and Godliness
I have been a little off the rails the past few weeks. October took my comfy little routines, broke them, and ground their bits into the carpet for good measure. I was actually okay with it. Lots of good things happened. Each weekend something was going on. The first...
Settling into Something New
My birthday is in October. It has become a time of self reflection and making plans for the upcoming year. This birthday felt a bit different, even though I still reflected and began planning. After all, I am in this space of allowing God's will to guide my life and...
A Little Bit of Mosey
This past week has been fairly productive. I have recorded up to five chapters of "The Resurrection Incident." I would likely be recording more today but my neighbor is having some trees trimmed and I don't want to risk any of that background noise seeping into my...
Slow, Deliberate Change
I have been quiet the past couple of weeks as I endeavor to make a practice of choosing God in each moment and determining what to do next. I was a little concerned that this seeming switch-up in future projects might confuse people. I also considered that some of my...
Growing a New Perspective and Now What?
I have been sitting with several realizations this week. The practice of saying "Thy Will Be Done" and not thinking about what I want to achieve has been causing some shifts in my life. I have also noticed over the past few weeks that I have begun to question some of...
The Freedom in Being Humbled or Thy Will Be Done
I have been observing an interesting occurrence in my life: I will often conclude that I should do something or try something after a long time of avoiding it. Then, that thing turns out to be what I should have been doing all along or I should have done when it first...
The Joy of Toil and Changing the Algorithm
I like to think of myself as an efficient person. Once I’ve done something a few times, my mind naturally works out ways to streamline the process and get it done better and faster. Maybe most people are like this? Somewhere along the way I have somehow developed an...
The Body Experiment
One of the perks of growing up LDS, was the concept of the Word of Wisdom and the idea that the body is a temple. The Word of Wisdom gives some guidelines around food. I personally haven't found all of its suggestions to be completely accurate (such as more grains,...
Opening Doors and Trusting the Path
This past week I have had a mindset of openness. I have been thinking of all my actions as if they are opening doors to whatever the next phase that my life is expanding into. That said, I have been bouncing around between different things in a way in alignment with...
Being Before Doing: A Letter to My Mind
Dear Mind: Please hand all our concerns over to God and let's get back in alignment to the flow... Best wishes, Sheila Now that that's taken care of... The Letter I Thought I’d Write When I first imagined this blog post, I thought I’d write a long, sassy letter to my...
