I think a lot about healing and change and growth. And I think a lot about these last eight or so years that I've been shifting my inner and outer world. I will NEVER forget what my daily internal life was like back then. Some words that come to mind are - suffering, torture, anxious, … Continue reading Behind the Curtain
Driving down our street right now is like being in an old school video game. It's the squirrels. I'm not sure why they are so active this time of year, but man, they will dart right out in front of you so quickly.

The boys are back in school after vacation. Christian is away for work. The house was very quiet today. Lot's of running the kids around after school. That's pretty normal for this time of year. It's just that it feels like a shock to the system after this past year of slowing down. The 80's … Continue reading Purple Ball
We went out on a little family shopping trip to the mall today. New sneakers for Wes and Charlie. A young guy working in the hip sneaker shop told me he liked my sneakers. He said he hadn't seen any like those. I'm pretty sure unique is cool in the world of sneakers. Afterwards, I … Continue reading Leading lady
Yesterday Christian had four cords of wood delivered to the house. We have multiple giant piles of wood on our lawn. He's been prepping the shed area where we pile store it. The old wood has to come out to make room for the new wood to dry out. We didn't burn as much wood … Continue reading Downs and Ups
