Write. Ding. Toss Write. Ding. Toss. Arggghh. I just have to trust that the words will come one of these times., that they will take shape on the page. I only have five minutes? I guess it’s a lot like parenting. I knew it would be hard, but, well, I knew my hubbie and I […]
Five Minute Friday-Real
February 3, 2012 By 10 Comments
We sit in a circle. Waiting. Watching. Worrying. Wondering how real we can be. Wondering how real others will be. As facilitator of the group, I jump in to break the ice. They’ve heard some of our story, how my husband and I have done a lifetime of stupid. Of how we ran arm in […]
Five Minute Friday-Vivid

Gray. Washed out. Worn out. Just plain tired. Do you feel as a mom sometimes that you just don’t have what it takes anymore? That between the job, the kids, the finances, the stress, that you have been stripped of your joyful, colorful self? I felt that way last year. You know what I […]

His large hand settles softly on my shoulder, and He gently shakes me out of my on-again, off-again, walking, waking slumber. His voice, soft and deep, rumbles right through to my core.

Sharing: “Here, this was useful to me, and helped me cope.” Encouraging: “Wow, did I mess up. Learn from my mistake, so you don’t have to go down this same painful road.” Asking: “Help me, please. I can’t find my way.” Across the miles, through the countryside, into the cities and over the oceans, we […]
Too Darn Happy Moment on Giving
December 14, 2011 By 1 Comment
Are you feeling a little-just not in the spirit-this Christmas? Maybe tired? Worn out? Just not feeling the joy? Might I suggest a cure by sprinkling some generosity into the lives of others? One. Small. Act. That’s all. They don’t even have to know, if that’s your preference. Pull a name from a giving tree […]
