It hit me sometime last week I just might have misspelled the word “heel” in my last post. I kept forgetting to check though. Sure enough, tonight I looked and I did. Sorry readers. I’m sure at least a few of you noticed. It’s been corrected. Now my life can carry on. As can yours. It seems some … More please note I used the wrong heel
First day of summer. Texted James. He’s tired of summer. Maybe I am too. Usually it’s my favorite season. June though, just go away. Instagram photos of dads and kids with catchy little captions I don’t need to see. Oh, I’m happy you’re happy. But I’m proof that…..well, life isn’t always what it seems. So … More go away, June
Happy Birthday Allie! You mentioned it when you visited Austria. Sixteen going on seventeen. Remember when we listened to The Sound of Music soundtrack all the time? I haven’t seen that cd in forever. I doubt Jamie took it to college…..maybe, though…… It’s hard being away from you on your birthday. Only weeks to go now, … More going on 17

She’ll be returning in a few months. Please indulge me in a shared letter to her, if you don’t mind. I sometimes find … More missing
What is unseen is eternal. The things we can’t see now will last forever. The things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting. I could list out 100 things I cannot see right now. The abstract. The ideas, hopes, dreams. The future. I currently cannot see my children. I know each is out there. One … More unseen
You don’t have to have it all figured out today. Thank you! Thank you so much for that reminder. I often live as though I should. Should have it all figured out. Should know the answers. But sometimes I don’t even know the questions. Yesterday I heard someone say the above quote, or at least that’s … More figured out
I’ve had the privilege of hearing a variety of stories lately. Straight from the people who have lived or are living the situation. I’ve also shared bits and parts of my story recently. And I’ve found people are appreciative I’ve told it, just as I am to hear others tell theirs. I don’t believe you … More story time
“The place doesn’t care if you love it. But for your sake you had better love it. For the sake of all else you love, you had better love it.” I read the above quote a few years back in a novel, Hannah Coulter, by Wendell Berry. I even referred to it in a blog … More the place doesn’t care
