A Week Shy…
A week shy of 26 years. That’s what today is. Today, 26 years ago, you were still with me. Not well, but with me. You could talk to me, place your hand on my belly and feel your granddaughter move. That same granddaughter who, today, carries your name. Today, 26 years ago, I could still…

Tired But Not Out…
I have struggled this week with what to say to what is going on around me. I have held my voice just trying to absorb it all in. Here is the conclusion I have come to. I’m tired. I know I’m not the only one. My heart is tired. My soul is tired. I’m tired…

The Church That Built Me…
The haze as I walked through the doors made everything slightly blurry, as if I were peering through a foggy window. I immediately smelled the wooden pews and the slight musty smell that comes from an old building such as this. The white concrete wall that barely hid the sanctuary from me still stood and…

To The Mom with No Mom…
Mother’s Day is hard. It has been since that dreadful Saturday morning in 1999. All of a sudden, I became a mom with no mom. I can’t begin to explain the tightness that still grips at my chest when I think of her or the tears that come out of nowhere some days. But if…

Snow Day…
It was absolutely beautiful. It was breathtaking. It was 7 inches of snow in a town that rarely sees snow at all..let alone 7 inches!! It was a winter wonderland to most of us. A beautiful blanket of white that sparkled and shimmered in the sunlight. I was in awe. I was mesmerized by the…

..3..2..1…Happy New Year!
Cue the ball drop and the fireworks! Another year has come and gone. I’ve always heard that January 1 is the first blank page in a 365 page book. Yours to write!! In a way that’s true. We have a whole new year ahead of us. But as I reflect on 2024, I have several…

Better to Give…
We have all heard the saying, “It is better to give than to receive”. Giving brings joy to the giver. It brings joy to the receiver. Everyone wins! This time of year, giving is stressed so much more. I’m not what you would call a typical Christmas person, I’m more of a Grinch. But I…
