I changed a lot in 2021. It was a good year. I was terrified that it would be a repeat of the past few years but God allowed it to be one of healing and life. Yes, there were hard parts. I watched friends suffer incredible pain and was helpless to do anything to change … Continue reading 2021 recap: Begining of Fearslaying

Random Life Update: November
Hello everyone! Here at the Reschly house we are covered in grease and drowning in sweets. That means only one thing - Hanukah has arrived!

A De-Energized Writer, Halloween Protests, Guinea Pigs and Ketchup: Realities of Life After a Move
The day started like any other day this past month. That meant one thing: chaos. This is particularly hard for a schedule-loving writer who is in the middle of a three week writing competition.

I finished novella and short story … Continue reading A De-Energized Writer, Halloween Protests, Guinea Pigs and Ketchup: Realities of Life After a Move

Hidden Treasures
One of the big things that I do each move is to downsize and get rid of a lot of needless junk. I am an extremely sentimental person. I still have a coffee stirrer that I got when I was like seven or eight and we were moving. Don't ask why I kept it. 'cause … Continue reading Hidden Treasures

Random Life Update: July
Whew! July was really busy. I feel like this whole year has just been really busy - much more so than other years. At the beginning of the month was the 4th.

Looking To Belong
The sun was setting as we drove over the Gay Street Bridge in Knoxville, TN. The water far below us was so beautiful in the golden light. The clouds that stretched across the sky were tinted pink. Everything around me was perfectly lovely. We'd spent the whole day driving and we were exhausted. We had … Continue reading Looking To Belong
Pros and Cons of being Semi-Nomadic

What Makes A House A Home
I’ve lived in a lot of different houses over the years. If I remember correctly, the last place that I was sad to leave was our little farm, when I was around nine or ten years old.

Home (Part 1 of 2)
The smell of bacon hung heavy in the air. Kara breathed in deeply and a smile spread over her acne-ridden face. She slid into her chair, ignoring the chocolate handprints and the unidentifiable smears that covered the wooden seat. Kara grabbed a piece of homemade sourdough bread and layered it with juicy slices of tomato, … Continue reading Home (Part 1 of 2)
