I am honored to share with you these beautiful thoughts about the journey written by my oldest child and dear friend. Tonight I'm thankful for her heart and for the things she teaches me about this precious life. Let's all take time to be Luna Lovegood for someone today. Love to all.

So this is it. An ordinary day that has really big things attached to it. And to be honest, I'm really excited. For every single day, three years in a row, I've sat down at some point during my day, usually after all have gone to bed and the house is quiet, and I've shared… Continue reading Family Jewels
The One About Shopping Carts and This Season I’m In
I am in a new season of life it would seem. The one where I am called out on my assumptions and the conclusions I've jumped to.

This episode explored what different religions from the past and now believe happens when we die. There were a lot of moments that had me going "Huh" or "Wow" or "That's really fascinating." One such moment was learning… Continue reading Fascinating, Comforting, and a Little Troubling
A Few Minutes in the Dark

I barely had the time to pick it up and read that there was a tornado warning issued before the tornado siren a few miles away started going off. It was startling to wake up that way,… Continue reading A Few Minutes in the Dark
Chasing the Darkness With a Big Ol’ Broom
So today I heard the Story of the Chicken. I have a friend, an amazing young woman in her last year of college who shared it on Facebook, and that chicken is what I've thought about much of today. Apparently this poor chicken fell off of a "chicken truck," and my friend and her friends… Continue reading Chasing the Darkness With a Big Ol’ Broom
