Finding Joy in the Journey
I woke up this morning thinking about how the day was going to go, getting my ducks in a row and thinking about the to-do list I keep in my head. Then I opened the news (something I do every morning), and was stunned. Last night, while many of us slept, tragedy unfolded... Continue Reading →
My thoughts are scattered this morning; I think a lot of people can relate to this. I share this not for sympathy, but to ask you to bear with me as I try to share what I believe I need to share. It might not be succinct, it might not flow just the way I'd... Continue Reading →
It feels like we're bombarded with messaging from all sides some days...right? Sometimes it's hard to sort it out, to make sense of it and to decide what sits with us for the long run. One of the messages I've been seeing crop up a lot, and discussed even more, is the "prosperity" gospel. If... Continue Reading →
The past week - or rather, the past year culminating in the past week - has felt like a whirlwind...sometimes more like a downward spiral where it feels harder and harder to catch my breath. I've been watching the news, reading updates, taking in what my friends and those close to me have to say... Continue Reading →
For those of you who have been following along with our adventure...whether it's been for the past few months, or the past few years...THANK YOU. Your support has meant the world!

I don't know how fresh your Dr. Seuss knowledge is, but in our family (much to my chagrin when I'm tired and have trouble putting normal words together, let alone tongue twisters), he's a favorite. One of my kids' favorites? The Places You'll Go. I love the metaphor for life; it's no surprise that it's a... Continue Reading →
Guys. I have to tell you, I am so so very excited to share this post with you all. While many of you know that I'm on my own pregnancy journey, and some of my posts will likely reflect that once I'm back up and going, long before I knew I was pregnant, I knew... Continue Reading →
First of all, I want to take a minute to thank all of you. When I started this blog, I had no idea what was in store. I saw it as a way to share my journey and to maybe keep a few friends and family members in the loop with what was happening. I... Continue Reading →
