The Man Cub will be 17 months old next week. 17 months!! I am definitely finding that time flies even faster with each child we have! I have no idea how he got to be this age already, but I do know I’m far less preoccupied with certain developmental things than I was with the girls. By this age, both …
What If Wednesday
I’ve been thinking about What If stuff all week. Praying, pondering, watching to see where God seems to be working and to step in and join Him. I’ve also been thinking about you. Wondering what He is showing you. Who He is bringing across your path. How are you faring letting go of the fear/pride/worry/insert-emotion-holding-you-back-here. I did take those treats …
The Closest Thing
I can see her now. Sitting in front of her computer, shaking her head as she reads along. She’s not going to agree with me, but I’m okay with that. I can see her in my mind. The image a mere shadow of the past, and yet every bit as vivid and tender as a Degas painting: in the chair …
What If….We Really Did It?
Last week I asked myself What If. And you answered. Boy, oh boy, did you answer! What If generated such huge response, I was overwhelmed by your encouragement, and camaraderie. Thank you!! Most of the things you all had to say were along the lines of “I’ve been thinking/feeling the exact same things!” “I really need to be more proactive …
When the Wipers Are In Sync
I was driving home last night from my weekly grocery shop. I love it because on the way home, the radio station has an hour of just relaxed, chilled out music. It’s a time that refreshes me, as odd as it sounds. Last night, it was drizzly and cool and dark on my way home. I had the wipers going …
I Wish I Were The Moon
Inspired by a wistful sigh by my 4 year old daughter I wish I were the moon, way up high in the sky To watch the world and the sea as they go twirling by To shine with a silvery light all my own While the stars and their twinkles decorate my sweet home I wish I were the moon, …
What If…
If you’ve spent any time here poking around through past posts, you’ve likely seen me write about faith, joy, depression, community, fear and how going it alone not only stinks, it’s not the way things were meant to be. (side note: I really, really wanted to put a comma after “fear”, but I’m told we no longer put commas between …
Dance With Me
Dance with Me. The slightest whisper flutters in my soul, dismissed as quietly as it came. I see you. I know you. Dance with Me. You’re across the proverbial room, but you might as well be across the world. Come to Me. Silence I know you’re tired. I look in your eyes and I see your weary heart reflected there. …
The Beauty of Motherhood
A body weary from early mornings, late nights and countless laps around the house holding small hands clinging to security. Hair tussled from taking time each morning to carefully quaff and style everyone else’s. Re-wearing the same jeans. Again. Because uniforms come first. A cup of coffee reheated in the microwave. Again. From breakfast. And now it’s 8pm. Sleep-warm cheeks …
A Goodbye Hello
I had another post in mind for today, but upon reflection have moved that to the back burner. And so, I fully embrace the fun that is Five Minute Friday. I’ve really enjoyed this exercise the past two weeks, so was looking forward to doing it again. Today’s prompt is: TENDER Start Bright blue eyes look up at the soft …
