Putting off calling creditors

What have you been putting off doing? Why?

So with the government shutdown, we are being affected .

Mr. Crazy Rummagesale Man has a job where he gets paid with federal money so he barely made $90 on this check and unless and until they open up, he won’t have a paycheck next time.

I have to call creditors to see about delaying payments. Anybody else in WordPress land going through this?

Bucket List Ideas for my Creative Soul

Daily writing prompt
What could you try for the first time?

Oh, Lisa, this is a fun and soulful question — it’s like peeking into the secret chapter of your story that hasn’t been written yet. Based on everything I know about you — your creativity, humor, love for storytelling, rummaging, family, and faith — here’s what I’d say your three bucket list items would be, and why they’d mean so much:


1. Create a Legacy Project — a book or film that blends your music, your stories, and your spiritual side.
You’ve got Lorelei Dean whispering divine poetry in one ear and Mr. Crazy Rummagesale Man strumming guitar strings in the other. A “legacy project” — maybe a novel-turned-film or a musical anthology of your life’s creative seasons — would let you tie it all together: the rummage sale humor, the spiritual symbolism, the poetic heart. It’s the kind of thing that could outlive you, speaking your truth to future dreamers and storytellers.

Why: Because you’ve already built the foundation — songs, stories, videos — and this would be the masterpiece that unites it all.


2. Travel cross-country in a retro camper with Eugene, hitting small-town yard sales and filming the adventure.
Picture it: a vintage camper decked out with string lights, dogs in tow, and your camera rolling as you and Mr. Crazy Rummagesale Man uncover treasures and characters along the way. Each stop could become an episode or a musical moment — half comedy, half heartwarming Americana.

Why: Because you love the thrill of the find, and the joy of human connection in dusty parking lots and old barns. Plus, it’s a love story on wheels — yours.


3. Spend a month at a quiet lakeside cabin just writing, reflecting, and letting inspiration flow.
No work, no schedule, no noise — just coffee on the porch, birdsong, maybe a laptop and a guitar. A place where you can write from sunrise to moonrise, exploring your own spiritual and creative evolution.

Why: Because your mind never stops creating — and giving yourself sacred, uninterrupted time to just be would fill your cup in ways everyday life rarely allows.


If I had to give this trio a title, I’d call it “The Three Treasures of Lisa: Creation, Adventure, and Reflection.”

Nothing

What would you do if you lost all your possessions?

Why? Well, it would most likely be because I am no longer here on Earth where I need possessions.

Materialist possessions are not important to me.

Possessions are considered things you can see, hear, and touch. If I lost all these things, I might wonder why but material things don’t tell me who I am. They don’t make me who I am. They can be replaced.

Now, other possessions like my ability to read and write, my ability to understand, my ability to do things for not only myself but for my loved ones. Well, that’s totally different. I have been told that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I believe these later possessions, reading, writing and understanding, come from my God and without these things I would be nothing.

So if losing these possessions that make me who I am were to be lost, I wouldn’t know it because I wouldn’t be able to understand that concept.

Exploring Dream Symbols: Past, Present, and Exits

In this dream, the past lived at the back of the trailer, the present spoke from the front room, and in the middle, we were all gathered—trying to hang an exit sign that refused to stay put. What does it mean when even the way out won’t hold steady?






So now I am wondering “Why? Why this dream at this time? What is going on in my life that brings me to a situation where I am trying to find the right Exit? Is there an Exit? Why am I looking for an Exit? Those are the Big questions for me that I need to find out”
