One Day At A Time

January 20, 2012

On January 2, 2012, I wrote a blog post titled, Letting Your Life Speak. In that post, I reflected on some changes I wanted to make in my life. Specifically, I want my life to speak this year.

Letting Your Life Speak

January 2, 2012

My favorite thing about the start of a new year, is a brand spankin’ new, fresh calendar. A new year also seems like a perfect time to START anew, though, do we really NEED a brand new year to do that? Of course, we don’t NEED a new year to start new, but I suppose a [...]

Let’s have some church up in here

NEVER EVER say NEVER

September 11, 2011

Today, like millions of Americans, I am thinking of that day… that fateful day that changed America forever. The day that changed the lives of thousands of Americans everywhere. And, although it wasn’t nearly as dramatic or tragic as the terrorist plot that was taking place, that day was for me, the start of a downward spiral that [...]

August 8, 2011

I am typing this week’s What I Learned This Week post on the balcony of a hotel at the beach. The beach is pitch black, there is a gentle breeze, and I am listening to the glorious sound of the waves as they come crashing in. And I have decided that this is where I [...]

His Hands

July 26, 2011

His hand rests comfortably on the back of the church pew. Carefully, I slide my hand under his and our fingers become a tangled mess as they have done thousands of times. My hand is happy there. As I run my thumb along the the edge of his thumb I think back to all of the times that those hands [...]

The Joy Of My Life

March 8, 2011

I spent most of the day sitting at my dining room table with three other PTA mothers processing cookie dough orders. It was the second fund-raiser of the year for Stevie’s school and was necessary because the budget for this school year has not been met. After processing 168 orders ($23,000) I am pleased to say our fund-raising [...]
