Life as a wife, mom, nana and follower of Christ; hoping to share from lessons learned
A juxtaposition is “the act of placing things side by side, especially for the purpose of comparison or contrast” This challenge reminded me of a frequent occurrence during a particular period of time when I was young. Some afternoons, my dad liked to “take a ride” with the family in his pickup truck down one of […]

Remember the year I turned sixteen? Must I? What a tumultuous year, a year filled with ups and downs, highs and lows, a veritable roller coaster. Looking back, meandering down that passionate, tormenting, and at times exciting path makes me smile now. That is, after I reassure my racing heart that those days are over […]

This morning the routine I followed was the normal one. I was logged into my computer and plugging away by 6:00am. Knowing that I am the most productive in the morning, I try to make the most of my “prime” hours. Phones, emails and IMs are usually pretty quiet until around 7:00am so I was […]

Lately, it’s been difficult to write. I have second guessed myself regarding what I feel is one of my “callings”.
