As I maneuvered through my day a few days ago, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I gazed at my phone with a soft smile and a warmed heart - I was notified by WordPress that I have reached over 10,000 views of my blog here (in over 60 countries), "Nelson Searcy's Thought Sharing". When…
Yesterday, while on a drive, I found my mind being still. Those moments are nice. When the mind can rest and sit in the moment at hand. I then looked around, scanning the view around me on my drive. I started to point out things that I enjoyed. Things that I was thankful for. Not…
I am writing to you all from Seattle, WA. Currently looking out at the water, the skyscrapers, and the Space Needle from our Air BnB. It's a blessing to be able to travel and do new things. As I spend some time away from home, I am finding new things to enjoy. Whether it be…
In reflecting on the thanksgiving holiday and the year 2020 beginning to wrap up, I have been reminded lately of the many things I am grateful and thankful for in my life. I wanted to take a moment to thank you all, my readers, for being a part of my life's journey. I am thankful…
