Yesterday, I met a girl. A Beautiful Girl. I don’t even know her name. But she changed my life. In five minutes, she changed my life. And she doesn’t even know it. The most extraordinary things happen in this waiting room. The waiting room where my son goes for therapy. I used to dread coming […]
He Carries, I Witness
He carries, I witness. On his knees, hands folded together in front of him, fingers entwined. Head tilted back, eyes to God. Big round tears dropping from each eye, rolling down his cheeks. Quiet sobs escaping between the downturned corners of his mouth. Quietly at first, he prays. Then he cries. He wails. Praying and […]
If There’s One Thing That Will Drive Me to Drink…
If there’s one thing that will drive me to drink, it’s going to be my son’s homework. Seriously. No one told me I’d have to do homework ALL OVER AGAIN as a parent. Why did no one tell me this? There should be some kind of warning label or something! Have you ever tried helping […]
I Wasn’t Enough
Two Moments. Two key moments in my life when I felt I wasn’t enough. Can you think of two times in your life when you felt this way? Can you name them? You can probably think of many more than two moments. Am I right? By now, if you’ve read any posts over the last […]
I’m Write Where I’m Supposed to Be
Get it? I’m WRITE and RIGHT where I’m supposed to be. It’s been four months since I’ve been focusing on my writing. Something I always wanted to do. Something that I always needed to do. And…it’s been four months since I’ve been gainfully employed. Gainful employment. What does that even mean anyway? According to Wikipedia, “Gainful […]
Yeah, well…I’m Still Learning…Oh…and Happy Halloween!
Okay, so you know how yesterday I wrote the post Moms…You Are Enough. And it was all about us Moms believing we ARE enough? I talked about how we need to stop comparing ourselves to other moms and determining our worth based on that comparison? Yeah, well…I’m still learning this concept myself. Perhaps this is […]
Moms…You Are Enough
Moms…listen up. You are enough. Do you hear me? You…yes, YOU ARE ENOUGH. And I’m telling you this, as much as I’m telling myself. Too often, I find myself comparing, measuring, rating myself. Especially my role as a Mom. That seems to be one of the roles I doubt most about myself. And probably because […]
The Shame Wagon
The Shame Wagon. What in the world am I talking about? Shame. And a wagon. By now, if you’ve read any of my recent posts, you know I’m on this self reflection, digging deep, looking at myself in the mirror place in my life. And I’m talking that special mirror, the one that shows you […]
Sabotaging Self Reflection
So here’s the thing, I love getting into my head and heart to evaluate things. To examine how I operate and how I can improve. I like taking occasional ‘gut checks’ to see if I’m living my life with intent…or just running the inevitable hamster wheel, over and over again. I just dig this self […]
Hey You…Gorgeous Lady. I Feel You.
Author note: Six weeks ago, I wrote a post that resonated with many of you. Today’s post is part two. If you haven’t read ‘Part One‘, or if you forgot what it was about, I suggest you do that first and then come back to this. Why? Well, because it will make more sense. Duh. […]
