Raw. Naked. Vulnerable. This is how I feel. Stretched to the max. Out of my comfort zone. At the breaking point. This is where I am. Crying. Laughing. Straining. This is what I do. In the past, I’ve written posts that draw the parallels between the lives of humans and rose bushes; I strongly believe that […]
What To Do With A Set of Wings
We recently watched the new Captain America and I was enthralled. I mean that movie held my attention like none other. I tend to be a multi-tasker while watching movies, so the fact that I spent the entire 136 minutes glued to the TV is really saying something. I’m not going to bust the plot for […]
When Frustration Gives Way to Blessings
I’ve been frustrated. Beyond frustrated at times. In the middle of the summer I decided to start taking my blog more seriously and switch to self-hosted WordPress. At the time I was using Squarespace for design and hosting; I had even purchased a custom domain name. I put a lot of time and energy into […]
The Written Word: An Art Form
Last week I wrote a post called A Mother & Her Uppercase R. I received stories and encouragement from various readers, but one request caught me off guard.

I knew there would be moments that I’d feel like the worst parent in the world. That there would be times I’d look back and wish there was something I had or hadn’t done. That I would say something and instantaneously feel like a complete idiot. I knew it, but that doesn’t mean I was […]
Therapeutic Blogging
Our culture revolves around the idea of self-sufficiency and independence. We don’t want our survival to be dependent on anyone besides ourselves. But I’m pretty sure our culture has it wrong. Community is important. It always has ben and it always will be. We’re born into families, we play on teams, and we’re assigned to work in […]
We All Need Therapy
I spend a lot of time in my car these days and most of that time is spent driving to and from therapy. If you’ve read any of my previous blog posts, you’ve probably realized that I’m in desperate need of therapy. “What kind?” you may be asking. Well, there’s the obvious physical therapy for […]
