Faith, Adventure, and the Oxford Comma
I recently took a step and ordered business cards. It's something I've been wanting to do for quite some time. I was gifted a beautifully engraved card case about a year ago that I take out of the box and just hold from time to time even though it was empty. Each time I would … Continue reading First Steps First
If you've ever been to my house you know that my backyard is a hot mess; treacherous if you will. I have weeds back there as tall as I am. Not that I'm all that tall but that's pretty tall for vegetation. I've been saying I'm going to get it landscaped since I moved in … Continue reading Blackberry Molasses
It's been a while since I've published a post on the Life and Times of Colette. I think it was just the season I was in; a time to speak and a time to stay silent. I've also reunited with an old friend, library card, so I've been doing more reading than writing as of … Continue reading Trust the Process
I initially left my job to try my hand at the restaurant business amongst other things. Well that didn't happen right away. No one would hire me. Fast forward a bit, I ended up volunteering at my church all summer and eventually got hired. Shortly after I got hired my position was put on hold … Continue reading The 6th [wo]Man
It's been a while since I've posted anything so I'll just do an update on what's been happening with me. I also didn't realize how much time had passed since my last post. I was asked to participate in two different STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) events in October. The first event was speaking to … Continue reading Irons in the Fire
I'm beginning a series of posts on trust. The words faith and trust can be used interchangeably when referring to God. I'm getting to the thick of my journey where learning to trust is crucial. This is an ongoing process that can't be covered in one post. Follow me as I share what I've learned.
This past week has been full of unexpected blessings. I started off the week by setting some long and short-term goals and planning out each week one day at a time. When I filled in all the things I knew I was going to do or had to do, I noticed that I had so … Continue reading When Things Fall Together
I did something this week that I hadn't planned on doing for a while. I applied for an engineering job (insert dramatic music). I'm at the point in my journey where I need to be making some money. My brother may be moving in with me and one of us needs to bring home some … Continue reading Buying In vs. Selling Out
Well my two weeks of scheduled activity are over. I got my last pay check weeks ago. Time to start looking for a job. Fortunately I got paid for all my unused vacation so I'll be okay for the next month or so but it's time to get on the grind. After volunteering at vacation … Continue reading Something
The decision to leave my job may seem rash to some but I assure you, it wasn't. It was several weeks of praying, listening, and seeking. If you are thinking about leaving your job I would encourage you to do the same. People have commented on my faith and courage but to be honest no … Continue reading Living on Purpose for Purpose
