From the random-101-list-file: I’ve wanted to visit the Museum of Biblical Arts in Dallas for some time now, mostly because it’s there and I’ve never gone. Curiosity gets me to do many things in life. A friend had a ministry fundraising luncheon there a few months ago – it gave me the perfect opportunity to both […]

Building Community
In my “great return to regular blogging” – however temporary it may be – I thought I’d do some catch up on 101 items that I’ve crossed off the list. Thus, bubble tea yesterday and today, reengaging with my professional women’s network. Here’s the thing: It’s important who you spend time with. I realized this […]
The Power of Forgiveness
I’m primarily posting because I’m ashamed that lately there’s not been a lot of daily in the Hayley Daily. But as I was preparing to write, I got to thinking that I’m not really ashamed. Nor do I feel that I need to apologize – to readers or to myself – for not writing more. […]

Whose Room is this Anyway?
Spotted during a recent weekend away: An interloper in the guest room. I’m obviously going to have to talk to management if this happens again. No kitties are allowed to lounge on our bed if we aren’t allowed to rub said kitty’s belly.
The Sidewalk Was Closed
The sidewalk was closed, so I went another way. It was a route I’d not walked before even though I’ve walked nearby many times before. Quiet tree-lined streets, hidden yet so close to the busy commercial road I’d been on moments before. If I didn’t know better, I might have imagined I’d stepped out of […]
Somewhere in Time
We love Jefferson, Texas. If you’ve not been there, you should go. Anyway, an old-timey town is even more fun when it’s hosting a Civil War reenactment. And on a side note…we saw some really really really old quilts.
The Weirdest Day…Probably Ever
So Saturday was weird, very very weird. Kelly and I got up later than normal after a very late night out with friends and headed to the lake to run. Not weird. That’s nearly every Saturday. But we didn’t meet up with our normal group of running friends (because we were late) so we parked […]
My Two Cents
I am of the opinion that everyone should stop and eat a picnic meal on a road trip at least once, especially at a state-owned highway picnic area.
Guess I Really Needed That Beauty Sleep
We’ve been tired. Busy, yes, but mostly tired. We blame allergy season and the drought-exacerbated dusty air for our lack of ability to sleep deeply. That’s why we went to bed at 9 pm the other night. An early turn-in and a slightly later rise left us feeling much closer to human. Not 100%, but […]
