Today is Wednesday. Yes it is. Some know it as Hump Day. I know it as Confirmation Day. And I also like to think of it as the day otherwise known as ‘Oh Sweet Baby Jesus, bring me your wisdom and grant me some patience, so these eight boys of the seventh grade will not cause […]
Fill My Child With Peace
This. ALL THE DAYS this. Anyone else? Lysa, an author, speaker and inspirational woman posted this on her Facebook page this past Sunday. There I was, sitting on the couch, under the weather and wearing my cranky pants, and unintentionally scrolling through my Facebook feed when I came upon it. It stopped me and my […]
26 Things I’d Do, If Fear Didn’t Hold Me
You’ve heard that question before, what would you do if you weren’t afraid? Have you ever answered this question? Or were you afraid to? Okay, so that was kind of a ‘funny’, but it’s actually a truth for me. I’ve been afraid to answer this question in the past, because somehow, when I start making the […]
What Others Think
How often do you let what others think, get in the way of honoring your authentic self? Last weekend, I spent both days at my son’s swim meet. Donning a t-shirt with his swim club’s name on it and leggings, I was ready to loudly cheer him on. As I got dressed that morning, I thought to myself […]
Learning to Let Go
Last night was the first Halloween in which I didn’t walk door to door with my son. I didn’t give it much thought before hand, but I knew it was likely he’d ditch me for running around with the neighbor boys. He’s twelve after all, finally ‘a man’, and I’m totally uncool…according to him […]
Lone Tree in the Middle of a Lake
A lone tree in the middle of the lake. Different, out of place, lonely, obvious. Sometimes, this is how we feel. I’ve been trying to write this post for days now. And struggling every single time I sit down to do so. The cursor blinking at me. Taunting me to type. But writing this post […]
Save the Pumpkins
You guys. This is really getting ridiculous. The viscousness must stop. We need to seriously rethink this holiday and what we do to the selfless, innocent victims. The pumpkins. The poor pumpkins. We separate them from their families, name them Jack, carve them, mercilessly scoop out their guts and cook them…and then…WE LIGHT THEIR INSIDES ON […]
We Rise
I am the mom of a totally awesome twelve year old boy, with an old soul, who has a mood disorder. We fluctuate often, between the ups and downs, the manic and depressive episodes. Then there are those seemingly magical times in the middle, our hands firmly placed on the oars, keeping course, pointing our boat […]
Sometimes You Must Choose
Sometimes you must choose. Macaroni and Cheese or baked chicken for dinner? Cookies or Pie for dessert? Donuts or oatmeal for breakfast? Flats or heels? Jeans or Yoga pants? Sweatshirt or sweater? Jean jacket or puffer vest? ADHD or Mood Disorder? Yes. I just threw that in there. ADHD or Mood Disorder. Because sometimes you have […]
Bless this Mess (and Accept the Rest)
Let’s talk about mess, shall we? The mess that seems to follow in a trail behind our kids. Socks, shoes, legos, wrappers, sweatshirts, and numerous other things. We spend much of our time trying to teach our kids life skills by consistently reminding them to clean up, pick up, tuck your shirt in, make your bed, […]
