3-2-1 Launch

Being a parent is hard. It's hard when they are born and you go without sleep. It's hard when they are toddlers and into everything. Then they go to school and the little darlings are either the bully or being bullied. Next thing you know you are teaching them to drive your expensive car. It … Continue reading 3-2-1 Launch →

Glimpse

This week I had a moment with a friend that made me stop and realize how far I've come since April 2016. My friend was venting about how much she works and how when she goes home it's to a messy house and demanding people. She arrived home at 8:30PM after working a 12 hour … Continue reading Glimpse →

Unanswered Prayer

This week has been a long one. I watched Mrs Doubtfire last weekend and ever since when people pose difficult questions to me I find myself wanting to call them Poppet and wax philosophical in a bad English accent. No seriously.

I am a sedentary creature who prefers chocolate over just about anything. But one day, I got a … Continue reading Health →

My House

This weekend my house decided to hate me. Don't get me wrong, after years of serious neglect, I don't blame it for being angry. I've mentioned we are trying to fix this amazing French Colonial bad boy up. Well, this weekend the house just started to fall apart. Neglect started years ago when Jerry was … Continue reading My House →

Change

Change. Isn't it funny how we fight change? Yet change happens everyday. Your cells age without you even knowing about it. Then one day you look in the mirror and notice that funny looking mole or those crows feet. Where the heck did they come from? Resistance to change is futile. It's going to happen … Continue reading Change →

The Journey Begins

Thanks for joining me! I discovered that I am a good writer. I have a lot of thoughts rummaging around in my head. When I get them out of there and on to "paper"; I seem to cope with my crazy life in a way that is productive. I've seen some things in my years … Continue reading The Journey Begins →
