I don’t know if you ever played this silly game when you were young, but my friends and I thought it was hysterical to pretend we were drowning. Usually in the shallow end. We would jump up above the water, put one finger up, take an exaggerated gulp of air, and dramatically go under. Then… Continue reading No Drowning Allowed

Would you please?
In my spare time (LOL) I’m reading a book that is really challenging me. Actually, I’m reading a few because whenever I have a minute I grab the nearest book and start reading. I love to read…probably why I’m an English teacher. The author of one of the books I’m reading shared that she wasn’t… Continue reading Would you please?
Been A Long Time
You know how when you haven’t talked with someone for a long time it is hard to know where to start…that’s where I am. It’s been forever and I don’t know what to tell you…what to share. I’ve been trying to figure out what keeps me from allowing my fingers to move across the keyboard… Continue reading Been A Long Time
A Porch in a Storm
There is a tremendous thunder storm going on as I sit quietly on my back porch**. It’s a little damp, a little loud, a little chilly but it is a lot nice. I love it. I can’t tell you how blessed I am to have this sweet moment to think. On one hand I feel… Continue reading A Porch in a Storm
Been Awhile
I love writing, but lately I’ve found it difficult to click on that post button. I believe part of the reason, besides being too busy to put two coherent thoughts together, is that a few voices in my head have made it seem like I really should be in a better place by now. Some… Continue reading Been Awhile
Invisible
I was standing in the shower thinking. It might be the only place that I can think because it drowns out all the other noises in my house, including the child jiggling the door knob and calling my name. I was thinking how I so want to write something encouraging. Right now God has me… Continue reading Invisible
Just 10 Facts and 6 To-Dos
There is no two ways about it. I’ve become an anxious woman…again. I struggled with this years ago, and here I am again. Fearful, concerned, worried…anxious. It’s a chest-crushing fear. A wake up in the middle of the night worry. An Oh my goodness! Am I having a heart-attack? anxious. And for the life of… Continue reading Just 10 Facts and 6 To-Dos
My Prayer for You
I love letters. Not the actual letters…like “a, b, c, d…” although they certainly are handy…but I love hand-written letters. It’s been a disappointment of my busy life. That I can’t write long letters. I’m relegated to short texts with massive amounts of typos. I suppose I could say each blog is a long… Continue reading My Prayer for You
Love Like Crazy
Oh am I having a pity-party today or what?!. I’m all sad and lonely and feeling unchosen and unloved. And I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get out of this funk I find myself in. I’m trying to get into shape so I can’t sneak chocolate or drink a Coca-Cola… Continue reading Love Like Crazy
My First Book Review
A few months ago I had the privilege of being asked to write a review for a book by Shannon Upton entitled, Building Your Home: A Faithful Mom’s Guide to Organizing Home and Family. I love a good book on organization. I feel like it has been my life’s goal since my first born took… Continue reading My First Book Review
