It’s so hard, isn’t it? To pause, take a moment with yourself and Him, before throwing yourself into the demands of the day? I struggle with this…most days. But I’m working on it, and remembering the Grace that He provides us. Sometimes…when the day has already started to wash away from me, I find […]
The Middle School Lunch Room
Sooooooo…it’s a good thing I’m seeing my therapist later today because Oh Em Geeeeee. I just picked up my son from school for a doctor appointment and had to go find him in the lunch room. A middle school lunch room. And just like that, I stood there in the entrance of the lunch room, […]
Exhale
Writing. It’s like exhaling. Sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly…but either way, it’s an attempt at letting go of what I’m holding in. I’ve been avoiding writing lately. Because it’s hard. And it requires me to go ‘there’. You know, the place with all the feels. And then, I’ll spend a lot of time crying. And I […]
What if You Fly?
One year ago today, I walked into a gym. Scared out of my mind, my face masked in weariness. Worried I wasn’t ‘good enough’ to be there. Yet, I walked in anyway. Ready to find a strength buried deep inside me. I was tired. Sad. Empty. I felt like I was walking in fear. Every […]
What IF I Can Do It?
Y’all (see I’m practicing my Texas words)… I’m at the airport, where I’m delayed, headed to the IF:Gathering in Austin, Texas where I get to meet up with my longest friend in life and meet a whole bunch of new friends too! I’m soooooooo excited. Which might explain this punchy post. Anyhoo…since I didn’t find […]
You Stay
Here’s the thing…when your middle schooler usually wants nothing to do with you, hardly shares anything with you, certainly does what he can to avoid being seen with you…will rarely give you a hug or a smile… And then when you go to check on him in the basement and he’s playing video games […]
To the Mamas Who are Crying
To the mamas that are crying this morning…you’re not alone. To the mamas who are angry…you’re not alone. To the mamas who are lonely…you’re not alone. To the mamas who feel unappreciated…you’re not alone. To the mamas who feel they’ve lost their way…you’re not alone. To the mamas who don’t have time for a shower […]
This is What a Fighter Looks Like
Many people ask about this little man, my fighter. He’s not so little really…but in my heart he’s still my baby. ANYHOO…as an update to this (Post by Life’s A Disco Ball), I just wanted to share how hard he worked at his swim meet this weekend. He swam 10 events in two days. And YOU GUYS…he […]
Fighters
Fighters. It’s what we are. I’ve never really thought of myself as one before. Because we’ve all been through stuff. We all have our troubles, challenges, hardships. There isn’t a single person on this planet that hasn’t. So me making it from one day to the next, doesn’t strike me as anything out of the […]
Just Because You Can’t See It…
Think about this… If you had a child with their dominant arm and hand in a cast, it wouldn’t be uncommon for the school to provide an extra book for the child to keep at home and also provide an alternative for writing down their assignments, because they’re unable to write, correct? Seeing as how […]
