Good Grief… Or Something
It was a long week… a brutally long, sad, achy, fevered week. (I actually had a high fever and a head ache all week. Not awesome.) I don’t mean to say this in a complainy way, because that isn’t what I’m feeling. I’m not feeling whiny at all. I’m just… FEELING. This whole week was … Continue reading Good Grief… Or Something
Don’t Fear the Flow
“The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” is the theme of this blog post. I caught whatever plague is spreading through the school these days. Everything hurts and I’m dying. Ok, not dying, but my energy tanks have been flashing the “empty” warning light at me for a couple of days. My face … Continue reading Don’t Fear the Flow
Powerful Words
Greetings, friends! I decided to bring Story Time back into our bedtime routine at my house. We haven’t practiced story time for several years. Honestly, I was relieved when my kids learned how to read for themselves. I was so tired of reading the same books over and over… some were so heavily favored, I … Continue reading Powerful Words
He Said, She Said, but Nobody Really Knows
Why is communicating so difficult? I’m talking about the spoken communication between human beings. Why is it so hard? Talking is one of the first, basic things we learn to do as youngsters… we eat, sleep, poop, crawl, learn to talk. In my case, I learned to talk before I could crawl. Well, I had … Continue reading He Said, She Said, but Nobody Really Knows
The Setup
Hello, friends! This blog post was not easily forthcoming this week. Once I finished sharing most of my awakening backstory with you in previous posts, I wasn’t really sure which direction this blog would go. I just kind of launched myself, like a base jumper, out into the blogosphere before fear could talk me out … Continue reading The Setup
Metamorphosis
Hello, friends! I see you’ve returned for more of my story. (I knew you’d get sucked in. Resistance is futile!) (If this is your first visit to my blog, and you feel like maybe you missed something crucial to understanding the plot of my story, feel free to read part 1 and part 2. Go … Continue reading Metamorphosis
Do ALL The Things! (The Year of Finding Me)
Welcome back, friends! I have been itching to publish this post for a whole week! Why? Because I am SO EXCITED to share with you the continuing story of my death and resurrection! (Hey, Jesus isn’t the only one who can rise from the dead. I don’t mean to be sacrilegious or anything, but in … Continue reading Do ALL The Things! (The Year of Finding Me)
“Where am I? Rock Bottom? Ooh…”
December, 2014: It was a stormy, winter day on the Pacific Northwest coast. (Is there any other kind? Yes, just keep looking.) My husband and I were celebrating my birthday weekend at our favorite campground in our new trailer. (I JUST told you we are in the PNW. A tent isn’t helpful on the coast … Continue reading “Where am I? Rock Bottom? Ooh…”
Everybody Loves a Backstory
I’ve been tossing around a few ideas in my head about what my first official blog post should be about, and do you know what I’ve come up with? Nothing. That’s right… nothing. I could write this long history about who I am and how I got here, encumbering you, dear reader, with endless, boring … Continue reading Everybody Loves a Backstory
