If I could turn back time, if I could find a way…(Cher) If I knew then what I know now, I’d do some things differently. Who wouldn’t? They say hindsight is 20/20, so as I approach that year, I reflect upon what might have been. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had a great life. I come from a loving, God-fearing family. I loved school from … Continue reading If I could turn back time
I needed to get away before the fall semester begins. I convinced my husband to drive the three hours to North Carolina to the small town of Franklin, a place we’d never been. Not a lot to do in Franklin, but we weren’t looking for a lot to do. I was looking for a place to unplug from email for three days. Because I successfully … Continue reading Unplugged
I spent the day with Breezy recently while her parents took her sister to an all-day softball tournament. We had a perfectly delightful day shopping, and hanging out at the skating rink, which also has video games, laser tag, a jungle gym, food, prizes…..it’s just an all-around cool place. But in the car to-and-from we had some quality time for good conversation about summertime and … Continue reading The conversation

My friend Gail is off the internet grid this week on some river in a part of the world that, well I’m not quite sure where she is. She’s a pretty amazing millennial. Earlier this year I watched her transformation as she prepared for her new life of traveling about the world. She sold all her stuff, lost lots of weight, packed what I would … Continue reading Guest Blog……Bali Hai
I’ve always loved the story of Christopher Robin and Pooh. It’s a sweet tale of two friends who must separate and how they stayed close forever after. I can relate to it because I have moved often enough throughout my life, mostly for my education and my career and each time I have had to leave friends behind. Likewise, I have had friends who’ve moved away … Continue reading My Christopher Robin

They were loud and … Continue reading The Spark Package
When did I first start calling you Mother? I can’t remember. I think it was when I was in college. All the other kids still call you mom. Mother just seems right to me. I simply wanted to take some time on this Mother’s Day to tell you what you mean to me. First of all, I thank you for teaching me to read. Reading truly is … Continue reading Dear Mother

I like high heels, tennies, ballet flats, and flip flops. I like shoe booties and boots. Just bought my first pair of thigh high boots. I like sandals and open-toed … Continue reading Red Shoes
