A little about me and my crazy world
Yesterday was my brother's birthday. Chubs passed away February 10, 2008. Every time I see a cardinal, I know it's him. Many birthdays I have now spent without him. I find solace in knowing Moma is with him now. I even found a feather while I was out walking at lunch yesterday. I know it's …
The google image as the header is the perfect depiction of today's blog. I catch myself spending downtime at home playing Candy Crush. It's thinkless time.

Last night I stepped back in time. I have to be honest...part of me didn't want to go. Bittersweet memories I didn't want to have, and emotions I didn't want to feel. My lifelong friend, Miranda, drove in town for this moment, and I could not tell her no in going. Our former church was …
I know it’s been a few days since my last blog. Nothing has moved me enough to write…not even a comic relief. I think I’m just in the middle of winter yuckness. Super cold temps and dreary days are just not inspirational. Sometimes you have to find the inspiration within. As I was on a …
