On Talking. I've been silent too long. Ok. Ok. I've been writing, but not physically talking. But that's changed. Podcasts. A friend that I met through the blogging world, Jonathan (jonbeckett.com), has just started a podcast! He's interviewing bloggers...where they came from...their blogging journey...where they might be going next...AND I'VE BEEN INTERVIEWED!! The podcast is [...]
In yesterday's Tuesday Truth #48, I told you that I had a story to tell from my weekend away. A story about being present and the lessons I learned from those instances. This is a tale of two strangers. Or, more accurately, a tale of my interactions with two strangers. Both stories take place during [...]
Three years ago, I wrote a love letter to my daughter. A love letter to my youngest child. Miss Sunshine. My only girl, who was just entering into the teenage years. Interestingly, the love letter that sat in the recesses of this blog, and had been seen by around 100 pairs of eyes before 2019, [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 47. Does anyone else feel this way? I know we often think of spring as this bursting forth of new life, but the fall also feels like a new beginning. A time to shed all the things that no longer serve us. To let the old fall away. To have a new [...]

Tuesday Truth. Number 34. Short and sweet this week. Enjoy the small things! Many of my small things recently have been little conversations with my teens. Being fully present in those conversations. Cherishing the words they share with me. This time passes so quickly. And so I am quiet on here and quiet on Instagram. [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 33. What is happiness? Do you ever find yourself trying to chase happiness? And yet it just seems right out of your reach. Let me try this? Oh, but if I had that! We tell ourselves these things far too often. I stumbled across this quote recently and it was the perfect [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 28. Hey everybody!! I hope that you had a beautiful weekend and that your week has started with some rays of sunshine. I've been busy getting the spring break trip booked. In a little less than two weeks, I'll be heading to Florida with two of the teens. We are looking forward to some [...]
