Sunday Gratitude – 18.X.2026
Hi everyone! Glad to be back here. I’m still struggling with a lot, and there’s a lot that’s really overwhelming. However, I’m going to give it a shot as far as gratitude here.
Most importantly, probably, is that my son had a surgery on his ear a couple of weeks back, and everything went really, really well. Yes, he had the same surgery back in February on the other ear, and it went really well, but there’s still a good bit of nervousness attached to all these things.
Secondly, I recently took part in the Serbian Orthodox Choral Association’s annual choir festival. Because it was only a week after the surgery, I wasn’t going to go, but then there were people who had signed up who either couldn’t go or couldn’t sing, and I was asked if there might be some way that I could go. I managed to get things arranged, and I went. It was an amazing trip, and I hope to write about it separately. Most of us who went ended up driving, including the people I rode with, but everything went off without a hitch, there were no accidents or incidents with the driving, and the event was a lot of fun. I am very grateful for that, and for getting to see the city and experience the city a little.
If any of you are interested, our choir’s performance can be found here (our group starts at 45:15):
The weather has gotten cooler, and I’m grateful for that (St. Louis at over 90F was quite a shock to the system). This just seems to be one of those patches that is especially rough, so I’d appreciate your prayers for me and my kids.
Thank you ever so much for following; you are amazing!

Lilla Rose October 2023 Update
For the latest Lilla Rose posts, please check out the following:
The author of this blog is a “Flexi Rep/Affiliate” with Lilla Rose, and is not employed by Lilla Rose. Purchases made through this link <https://www.lillarose.com/katja> will earn the author a commission.
Seriously, how is it October already? Mind you, I don’t mind the cooler weather, but in just a couple of months, 2023 will be a year in the history books. I sat down to write a check the other day, and in the year field, the first year that popped into my head was 2014. I knew it was wrong, but it was still kind of astounding how we’re nine years past that.
In any case, there is some nice stuff being featured this month, and without further ado, let’s get into some of that:
First off, the “Mane Event”
I love the owl, and it’s only available as part of this set.
There are a couple of beautiful new releases
Also, looking through everything on the website, I noticed that there’s a flower “do-it-yourself” flexi and some other things that I hadn’t noticed before that aren’t on the graphic above.
This month’s special is a free tube of hair mascara with purchases of $50 or more. The hair mascara is fun stuff. There a a number of colors primarily intended to cover roots, but my kids like the colorful stuff for goofing off in the summer.
I saw this last night, and I think this is great –
In addition to the regular and XL sport flexi, there’s a XS version that is coming out on October 12. I really like the two sizes already available, so I will probably get a small version as well.
One more thing… If you like a little surprise in your life, this offer may be for you!
Take care! 🙂

Sunday Gratitude – 1.X.2023
I am thankful to have made it through this week… So much going on, and so many complications. This coming week looks to be insane as well, and I just hope to God to have the strength to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
I’m grateful to have reconnected with someone this week. Things like that are always blessings.
I am thankful for the gorgeous weather that the end of the week had. September sunshine is some of the most beautiful, in my opinion.
I feel as though I ought to be grateful for a good deal more, though exhaustion is kind of dampening my ability to think very well.
I am thankful to see a little bit of progress on the house. I’m thankful to be finding things that have been lost for awhile.
I’m thankful for all of you. Thank you for all your support.

Sunday Gratitude – 24.IX.2023
These past couple of weeks have been crazy. I’m thankful to be getting through them without going completely crazy.
I’m grateful to have a little calm and quiet. I’m grateful to be able to go to church, and for the people there. I’m grateful for the nice weather, and that the kids have been able to get out and enjoy it some.
In a way, I feel like I’m “cheating” because I’m repeating here things that I’ve mentioned before. A lot of these, though, seem to be the things that help keep me going when “the going gets tough”.
I am thankful to be able to listen to really good, smart, and beautiful content online. In the spirit of “keeping me going”, having a place where the mind can rise up above the mundane is incredibly important.
I am thankful to see a little bit of progress on the house. I’m thankful to be finding things that have been lost for awhile.
I’m thankful for all of you. Thank you for all your support.

Saturday on Substack 23.IX.2023
I feel fairly guilty about not posting much recently but there are two house projects that really should get done before it gets cold, and a lot to do before those projects can get done. Yes, and school and activities and kids forgetting stuff that they need, etc. Such is life, I guess.
If you’d like to see the online things I’ve been up to this week, please click on over to this week’s Substack posting, which can be found here: https://open.substack.com/pub/breathofhallelujah/p/saturday-on-substack-23ix2023?r=26qqoz&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Sunday Gratitude – 10.IX.2023
One of these weeks, things are going to calm down, right?
I’m thankful to be writing this on a Sunday. I’m thankful the kids are back, though it’s always nice to get a little quiet time.
I’m grateful for friends at church, and for coffee hour. I’m grateful to have a priest to talk to.
I’m grateful for the cooler weather, and that I was able to get the lawn mowed.
I’m grateful old friends and long phone conversations. I caught up with an old friend from my early blogging days, and though things have been very, very rough for her as well, there was definitely a sense of being bound as sisters in Christ and in suffering. I am thankful that there is also great joy in her life apart from the really tough things.
I’m thankful for all of you. Thank you for all your support.

Saturday on Substack 9.IX.2023
Once again it’s Saturday on Substack, and I’m cheating a bit just to get it posted “on Saturday” here. I also just remembered that I should have added something else, but it’s okay
