Sometimes I’m just going about my normal day and I’m suddenly knocked off my feet by a seemingly obvious revelation. It’s usually one of those things I know that I know, yet I instantaneously find myself looking at it with a fresh perspective. It’s startling and it usually makes me laugh at first. Then I […]
Five on Friday
Well today marks one week from my hip surgery and I think that justifies having two Five on Friday lists. I guess that’s technically Ten on Friday. But it’s 2 separate lists, so I think it still counts. List 1: Can we just take a minute to acknowledge all of the relationships I’ve been blessed […]
The Perfect Surgery
My surgeon and I have 2 very different definitions of the word perfect. To me, the perfect hardware removal surgery would mean…I don’t know…that all the hardware would be removed. But maybe that’s just the crazy talking. Maybe I’ve had a few too many pain pills. Because my orthopedist tells me, “The surgery went perfectly, […]
“In My Opinion…”

On The Edge
It seems we’re always waiting. Always standing on the edge of something great. We live in quiet expectation for the future. What future? Define greatness. For whom are we waiting? I don’t know whether to call it summer or winter, but I’m definitely in a season. A life season. I’m not being tested, but I […]
Worst Dance Mom Ever
For someone who always used to be on top of it all, this is difficult for me to say: I am the worst dance mom. Like. Ever. And it’s not in the way you would think. I’m not obsessive, organized, and screaming. I don’t have back-up bobby pins or an extra set of tights in […]
