There is one question I do not know how to answer.What would you do?Or its variation:What do you think I should do?Don't get me wrong. I ask these questions myself. Just this afternoon I asked the vet tech what I should do about scheduling Miss Sophie's spaying. "What would you do?" She didn't pause for… Continue reading What do you think I should do?

H’s and Traps and Not Being in Control
There are some things I have no control over in life, and I have become okay with that. That part of me probably came to be a little after 3:32 a.m. on a Tuesday morning in September 1995. With the birth of my first child. You have children, you learn to let some things slide just… Continue reading H’s and Traps and Not Being in Control
Mac’s New Shoes and My Questions for God
My phone rang early this morning. I had it set on vibrate but I could hear it echoing in the drawer I had left it charging in overnight. I picked it up. Mac. I breathed a sigh of relief. He usually comes to Daybreak around the time for Sister Circle on Tuesdays to visit and catch… Continue reading Mac’s New Shoes and My Questions for God
Crying over Charlotte
When I was in the third grade, Mrs. Turner, one of my very favorite teachers of all time, read aloud "Charlotte's Web" by E. B. White. It was after lunch. She would turn the lights off and we could put our heads down and listen. I was thankful for that, because when it got to… Continue reading Crying over Charlotte
A Life Well Laughed and Loved
Twenty-one years ago, the world lost an amazing.....and an amazed man. He loved life. He was in love with living I think. My Great Uncle, married to my Mama's Mama's sister, my dear Great Aunt. I can honestly say he was one of the most joy-filled people I've ever met. Family issues put him and… Continue reading A Life Well Laughed and Loved
Which You are You?
Social Media has been overrun. At least three times a day I see a related post. Thanks to sites like Buzzfeed and Zimbio, all of us who are lost can get one step closer to finding ourselves by taking a quiz and finding out such soul-shaping information about ourselves like which Beatle we are, which character… Continue reading Which You are You?
Going Home Again
You can, you know? Go home again. I know because today I did. I went back to the place I loved when I was growing up. Wesleyan College. When my Mama was in school there, finishing a degree that I had unintentionally and in utero interrupted, I visited and fell in love with it. Mama… Continue reading Going Home Again
the one about success
This morning I had a conversation with a good friend about measuring the success of a program we are both a part of. And what that looks like. All day my head has reverted back to that one word, echoing in my mind, success. Thinking of what it is, what it looks like, how we… Continue reading the one about success
Everything is Awesome…..
We've been to see the Lego Movie. And loved it. And at least once a day, at home or out in PUBLIC, my littles can be heard singing {loudly} the "Everything is Awesome" song from the movie. It's been delightful. Really. Ahem. (And for those of you who have heard it before and now cannot get it out of… Continue reading Everything is Awesome…..
“…..the rest of us are just guessing”
I love the twists and turns Life takes to get our attention. Today I was sitting across the desk from my doctor. We always talk about the most amazing things. He is a fascinating person, and I happen to be someone who appreciates interesting people, so it was a good day for me. He turned… Continue reading “…..the rest of us are just guessing”
