It’s that time again. The occasion when I gather my wits about me, along the candy wrappers from my stocking loot I’m still consuming, and open my mind and laptop.

Mind you, none of these lessons are necessarily life altering, butContinue reading “19 Things I Learned During the Christmas Season of 2019.”

Why It Is Okay To Live An Ordinary Life
Have you ever felt like your days are just mundane, ordinary, and without the excitement you see in the lives of those around you? I’m so sorry. Sometimes, I feel that way too. One of the “Slices of Hope” from my book, If Only It Were a Piece of Cake, is: “Without the ordinary, thereContinue reading “Why It Is Okay To Live An Ordinary Life”
“But It’s Not Like Last Time!”: Finding Joy in Unmet Expectations and Change
Her face was red and wet with tears. Her fists were clenched and she was shaking her head spastically making her blonde hair flail around her head. She continued to whine and complain, but I could barely understand her words through her deep sobs. She was having a full-fledged meltdown. Baggage was to blame. No,Continue reading ““But It’s Not Like Last Time!”: Finding Joy in Unmet Expectations and Change”

I sensed her desire for a solid answer she could grasp onto as well. “I hate feeling like I’m running in the dark with this thing. Like what’s good, what’s not so good?” She was wanting a definitionContinue reading “How I define success. (Now THAT’S a great name!)”
False start much?
“How many false starts does each runner get in a track meet?” my son asked as his thumbs already moved on his phone’s keyboard looking for the answer. “I think it’s just one.” I responded, proud of my ability to recall something from the recesses of my mind. Yep. One false start. After that, theContinue reading “False start much?”
Our Marriage Needs a Prefix.
Last night I told my husband that I miss him. 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.
