I remember holding my infant daughter one day and being struck with a realization about beauty. Although I believed I looked like “death warmed over” in my sweat pants, greasy hair and smeared make-up, her eyes reflected a different woman. She looked up at me as though I was the most beautiful creature she’d ever seen.Continue reading “The Eyes of the Beholder”

Our Marriage Needs A Prefix.
Last night I told my husband that I miss him. And he nodded in agreement as he sat beside me. We are together a lot. But our moments of non-distracted, non-exhausted, non-sick, non-stressed, non-necessary, non-rushed, non-interrupted communication are slim. We need those little nons in our marriage. But they’re elusive little prefixes. We striveContinue reading “Our Marriage Needs A Prefix.”
In Plenty And In Want.
It was a few tissues and an empty Starbucks cup that tipped me over the edge. They were strewn on the floor around the empty trash can instead of being out by the curb with the rest of the trash that my husband had collected. Didn’t he see he’d dropped it and he really hadn’tContinue reading “In Plenty And In Want.”
I’d Lost That Loving Feeling
Dear Reader, Each month I blog for my church’s women’s ministry about a topic that is assigned for that month. This month the topic was INFERTILITY and MISCARRIAGE. It was a tough one! I have experienced three miscarriages, one just this past October. I was unsure if I should share such a personal story, butContinue reading “I’d Lost That Loving Feeling”
Daddy Loves You
My memory of the moment is both crystal clear and fuzzy at the same time. It’s hard to explain, but yet if you’ve ever been in shock, you’ll understand. My body felt numb and weak and apparently that was obvious to those around me because a nurse pushed a stool underneath my legs and helpedContinue reading “Daddy Loves You”
A Delicate Balancing Act
There has been something on my mind lately. I feel as if I’ve been performing a mental balance beam routine with my thoughts. My virtual ankles are starting to ache. I’m striving to find the rest that comes with steadiness and control, but it seems I continue to wobble, even if only in my mind’sContinue reading “A Delicate Balancing Act”
100% Polyester Love
Ten years ago this week I was a glowing bride-to-be. We were caught up in the hustle and bustle of preparing for our December 7th wedding. It was a whirlwind three-month engagement and I was head over heels with it all. I enjoyed just about every second of the planning and preparing. Our wedding, completeContinue reading “100% Polyester Love”
A Thanksgiving Dinner
As a guest blogger for Riley Hospital for Children, where our son received treatment for cancer as a small child, I’ve been asked to write about a variety of topics. Recently I was asked if I could write something for the hospital to post on Thanksgiving Day. I thought about it for awhile and thenContinue reading “A Thanksgiving Dinner”
In This Corner…
I am going to be very honest here. Not that I usually lie. But, I like to write about something after I’ve got it neatly figured out in my mind. I prefer to organize my thoughts and feelings in a nicely gift-wrapped package and then deliver them onto my blog’s doorstep for others to enjoy.Continue reading “In This Corner…”
Belated Birthday Treats
I completely forgot. My son and I have been discussing sending treats into school for his birthday for several weeks now. Karson even asked me to scope out some particular cookies while at the grocery store last week. We had a plan. He was looking forward to it. Today is the day. I completely forgot.Continue reading “Belated Birthday Treats”
