I’ve been a bit delinquent in my blogging over the last week, so I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I usually compose my blog posts the weekend before you see them. I write one post on Saturday and one on Sunday, then schedule them to go live during the week. It […]
Why Crutches Still Stand By My Mirror
It’s been 2 months since I’ve needed them, but my crutches still stand by the full-length mirror in my bedroom. My daughter pointed them out to me the other day and asked why they were still there. I didn’t have a very good answer for that one. It wasn’t until later that I discovered there […]
“Someone Should Have Warned Her”
It was my first day of training and there I sat in our team meeting. The meeting had started late because I was late. I was in a car accident the day before and had to rent a car that morning. Not at all the way I had planned on starting my brand new job. […]
What I Miss Most About Jasper

In the past, I’ve written posts that draw the parallels between the lives of humans and rose bushes; I strongly believe that […]

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. A fellow blogger asked me to post a sample of how I write my daughter’s name. Why didn’t I think of that?!?! So I decided to focus my next post […]
