I was at a store the other day, a little frazzled trying to get things situated this week. I was carrying some heavy worry for a couple of my kids. I was worried about the minutia of the holidays pressing in. I was tired. And around a corner came a little angel. In the form…
I’m sure a lot of people out there follow sharonsaysso on instagram. She is pretty awesome, gives an unbiased view of what’s happening in the world (I took one of her “government for grown-ups” classes and it was so good!) Not only is she smart and incredibly talented about sifting through and explaining current events,…
I cannot believe that it’s been one year since we were climbing over these red rocks to witness the marriage of these two. (SO many pictures and words about that day back HERE, and film pictures HERE.) What an incredible time to get married, and what a year it has been! In the middle of…
You know when you think something will NEVER happen, and then you find yourself right smack-dab in the middle of it happening? Well, that happened for me over President’s Day weekend. Because when at first I heard about this opportunity Lucy’s MCO choir would have to go to California and do a recording of their…

Well, now that it is the middle of November, I figure it’s a good time to unveil my “one word” for 2018. Ha! I think it’s taken me the first ten months of the year to wrap my head around that little word. It is MINDFUL. I was hesitant to pick that word because it’s…
I figure it’s about time to introduce my “one word” for 2016 since we’re coming around to the home stretch. (How crazy is it that Christmas is coming around the corner before we know it!?) I do a “one word” theme each year…something I want to concentrate on to help me “become” who I really…
Lots of things happened over Labor Day weekend. It was one for the record books. First, my brother and his family came to town from California. They got here relatively late on Friday night but we still tucked the kids in bed and headed out on an adult dinner date to catch up. …
