To the Woman Who’s Barely Holding it Together… and Nobody Knows
I sat in my minivan in the parking lot of the drug store and cried over the steering wheel. I had run into a snafu with our insurance. It wasn’t a huge problem and was easily correctable.

Not long ago, I collapsed on my bed with tears streaming, heart pounding, wanting to scream into the pillow or outside to the world.

I have ONE child. And that’s okay.
I’ve been wanting to blog about this topic for a while…and trying to come up with a way to make it direct but tactful. I hope I’ve succeeded. Did I plan on having more children? Yes, I did.

As most people do when a year is coming to an end, I’ve started to reflect on the year that has passed. And I’ve settled on one overriding theme. Different is hard. I’ve never been much for change. And for much of my life I didn’t deal with it. The last 25 years have prettyContinue reading “Word for the Year: Grace”
What a Dog Taught Me about the Real Meaning of Christmas
Back in March, I saw a photo on Facebook that made me fall in love. I had seen many pictures of dogs in need of homes before, but something about this particular one caught my attention in a special way. I just knew this was my dog. She had been found by a church friend,Continue reading “What a Dog Taught Me about the Real Meaning of Christmas”

Visiting St. Augustine? 10 Things You MUST Do!
I never thought that ANY city in the United States would top Charleston, SC as my favorite. I had visited Boston a couple of times and loved that city as well, but it still didn’t compare to the Holy City in my own home state. Then I visited St. Augustine.
