Day 3 – Day of Prayer- March 15, 2020
Today, I think people are praying. Even for people who don’t normally pray, they might be curious to see what it will do. Or maybe, they won’t call it prayer, but good thoughts or good vibes. Today is the first Sunday after our state declared emergency for a virus that is taking so many lives…

Day 2 – After the announcement- Now what?
How did I sleep after the announcement of our school closure due to the Corona Virus? I don’t know if I was exhausted from all of the hype, but it was a great night of sleep. I was surprised. By the time I awoke, my husband had shopped early at Food Co which normally opens…

On Raising Daughters – October 30, 2015
When I first became a mom, all I wanted was a healthy child. I wasn’t set on one particular gender. Whatever God gave me was fine by me. So when I held my firstborn daughter, I was in love. With each additional daughter (three daughters, then my son), I grew a heart for each of…

February 21, 2015 – Life with a large family
When I was young, I told myself that I would never get married and I would never have kids. Well, God must have been laughing from above. Now married and four kids later, life with a large family is all I know. Somewhere along the journey, the thought of having four children was never planned;…

Taking the good with the bad – life and fibromyalgia
There are things in life that you choose to do to yourself and others that are destined for you, although you don’t quite understand the “why.” One self infliction was when I got a really bad perm. My hair was half way down my back and I believed that a perm would guarantee beautiful curly…
