Words are still trying to form complete sentences in my mind about my experience at Storyline Conference. While I reflect and absorb the blessings, I’ll just leave these photos here for you to peruse. Plus, I have to get up at 3am for my flight tomorrow…so peace out!
What We Do with Pain
Our pain? It isn’t unique. So all of us still standing with our feet firmly planted at the intersection of ‘Woe is me’ and ‘Victim’, are missing out on the beauty and gift of it all. Our pain, once we have a bit of distance from it, can be an incredible jump start to a […]
Storyline
Storyline. A conference in which you explore the discovery of and answer to the question, ‘Do I matter?‘ The answer is simple. Yes. You matter. I matter. The idea that only a few of us in the world can matter is false. We all have a place, a story, a voice. And we must own […]
ALL THE FOOD
You guys. When you write and publish stories every day on your blog for thirty straight days for NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month), you’re going to have some days where you post non-sensical, shallow, silly stuff. Stuff that is really quite…well…boring and uninteresting. You know – for your own sanity. I just can’t dig deep […]
Crying in the Canned Goods Aisle
It’s true. I’ve done it. I’ve cried in the canned goods aisle at Target. Canned vegetables to be exact. I’m used to receiving phone calls from my son’s school; it’s been happening for years. The calls have come from a teacher, behavior intervention teacher, case manager or administration. Sometimes they’ve been in the moment calls of […]

NaNoWriMo = National Novel Writing Month NaBloPoMo = National Blog Post Month FOMO = Fear of Missing Out Doing one of these things […]
Broken, Bruised and Brave
Broken. Bruised. And Brave. Every single one of us. In some way or ten. Sometimes it’s visible. Sometimes it isn’t. But every single one of us are fighting battles and hardships and stories in our minds telling us we don’t belong. We’re not worthy. We’re not loved, heard or matter. Except we do. Sometimes […]
Adjusting my Sails
Approximately six months ago, I was watching a story on CNN about climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. In those four minutes, I was struck with an overwhelming feeling I was meant to do that. I was meant to climb that mountain. In the short days that followed, things fell into place, leading me to apply for a trek […]
Sometimes It Takes Others
Sometimes it takes others believing in you, before you do. With the right support and people behind you, you can take that first wobbly step. Even if you’re afraid. Because you have trust in them. You believe they’ll be there for you, every step along the way. You know you can lean on them in […]
