January 2026 – New Bern, North Carolina

Julie — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 18:14:14 +0000

There was something special about New Bern this winter. As January ended, I realized how much I appreciated this season for what it offered: space to reflect, rest, and reset. New Bern didn’t try to impress in January—it simply was.
In that fluffiness of the winter snow, I felt invited to hibernate, slow down and listen, trusting that this quiet season was filled with new purpose for me. The historic snowfall only deepened that sense of mother nature’s awe and that I am not in control. Watching familiar streets and river views transformed under a blanket of snow felt like a reminder of God’s presence. The hush that followed the storm created room for gratitude—for safety, for community, and for the simple gift of witnessing something rare and beautiful. It was impossible not to pause and give thanks, recognizing how small we are and yet how cared for we remain. This winter reminded me that not every season is meant for striving or producing—some are meant for receiving.
Through the stillness of the snow, and the slower pace, I was gently reminded to trust God’s timing, to be grateful for what is, and to rest in the assurance that even quiet winters are part of a greater story.

Here we go 2025!

“The most effective way to change your habits is to focus not on what you want to achieve, but on who you wish to become.” – James Clear
“In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.” – Tony Robbins
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” – Romans 12:2
“The only bad workout is the one that didn’t happen. Start this year strong and make every workout count!”

Spare!

Julie — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 02:35:31 +0000

I walked, and walked 15 hours and 39 minutes listening to Prince Harry’s audiobook, searching for meaningful words within his new memoir “SPARE” trying to understand why he left his royal, privileged, lifestyle to be with Meghan and find new residence in the USA leaving the UK. I understand, relate and agree with his decision.

Fireflies

Julie — Sun, 21 Feb 2021 17:24:36 +0000

I was introduced to Firelies by “Kya, the “Marsh Girl” in the novel, “Where The Crawdad Sings” by Delia Owens. This little girl lived in Barkley Cove, a quiet coastal town in North Carolina during the 1960s. She lived there, alone since she was about nine, in her shack, for years, ever since her entire family left her behind, one after the other. Kya, timid, shy, had no social skills but became one of the most renowned naturalist in the area and teaches us through the book about the wonders of little creatures, grasses and birds of the North Carolina coastline. I revisited the book again this year as it reminds me of my love for this coast and our favorite island, Bald Head Island, BHI, which we have loved for its natural beauty since 1995, but like Kya’s home town of Barkley Cove, NC, BHI has been discovered by many and become more commercialized, but still beautiful, especially in the off-season. The book (a must read) has a unusual turn of events, revealed in her last poem about The Firefly!

“Luring him was as easy
As flashing valentines.
But like a lady firefly
They hid a secret call to die.

A final touch,
Unfinished;
The last step, a trap.
Down, down he falls,
His eyes still holding mine
Until they see another world.

I saw them change.
First a question,
Then an answer,
Finally an end.

And love itself passing
To whatever it was before it began. A.H.”

Super Bowl 2021 (LV – 55)

Julie — Sun, 21 Feb 2021 16:46:22 +0000

History was made during Super Bowl 55, February 7, 2021, Kansas City Chiefs (9) vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers (31), as Tom Brady, in full Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr., (born August 3, 1977, San Mateo, California, U.S.), American gridiron football quarterback led his teams to a record seven Super Bowl victories (2002, 2004, 2005, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2021) and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) five times (2002, 2004, 2015, 2017, and 2021). But for me one of the most memorable events was one of the commercials, Jeep reminds us we are stronger than the obstacles in our way, and invites us to remember all the ways we are connected as Americans. Bruce Springsteen takes a timeless CJ-5 on a journey to the US Center Chapel in Kansas in search of common ground. #JeepTheMiddle
