Tackle It Tuesday

I wanted to take a picture, have something tangible for this week because I'm such a visual person, but to be honest, I have a lot on my mind lately.



So I think my tackles are mental, or maybe not things I can photograph.

• Today's Phil's birthday, Happy Birthday my love. I'm so blessed to have you for my husband, my best friend.

• It's been exactly a year and nine months since my uncle died. Thanksgiving was my special time with him. I don't remember a lot about last year except that I didn't even want it to happen. I'm better this year, but not healed. I don't know if that wound will ever heal.

• I want to tell my good news now. I'm honored and totally humbled to have been asked to be on the editing team of the next edition of Coach's Midnight Diner. I've been waiting for the right time to announce it and I think today's the day. Submissions are now open. I totally feel like I don't deserve this, I am speechless and have been since I got the invitation. I keep waiting to wake up.

• I've been agitated about my novel lately, I learned today why. Going back to the issue of God prodding me, I contacted someone today I've been hesitant to email and after an exchange of emails, I have God's peace about the issue. I know that doesn't make any sense at all to most of you. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I was at a point that my confidence fell off the map. The thing that happened today was God's way of telling me He's in control. Even though I know He is, I have to be reminded of it. And that was something exciting that happened today. I'll not be so cryptic when the time is right. But it's big news and WAY cool. Even better than I expected!

This is a busy week and I've been at odds with myself, so my tackle is primarily to get through this week. The weight of things seems to have doubled today alone. I know why, I just need to be still.
