“…I go to the hills, when my heart is lonely. I know I will hear what I’ve heard before. My heart will be blessed with the sound of music, and I’ll sing once more.” I’m sitting in my new yellow chair which is situated between my bed and desk on the side of my window …
Today I made the dough for my mother’s famous dinner rolls. As I type away the dough sits atop the refrigerator rising. It is a relatively simple recipe, but I haven’t made it too often over the years. Years ago, before the boys and when they were quite young, I would make mommy’s rolls for …
After getting to the airport counter 3 hours ahead of departure time we had a delayed flight to contend with. Josh and Gabs, ready to get the trip started to help handle their barely contained excitement over the trip and getting to see their father, then had to deal with more time on the clock. When …
I’m sitting here in the airport on the curb of a handicap accessible parking spot. No, I don’t have a handicap, but since my father is wheelchair bound, I have a certain connection to and respect for those who need this blue marked parking spot. In some ways I’m the protector of the parking spot …
When the rain comes, we all get excited. Phones come out. Photos are snapped up. Videos are taken. We are legitimately swept up by raindrops and completely marvel in what they can do. When we had our first rain here in Cancun, I was living in and out of hotels and coping with the reality …

I’m here in the airport with these to cutie little brothers and their grandmother, one who is 3 and the other 2, and they remind me so much of my beautiful Josh and Gabs when they were little guys, and we would travel. It reminds me specifically of one trip that we were taking to …
Today I had a taxi driver stalker, and I really didn’t like the experience. It’s awkward when the driver follows you into a place after you have already explained that you are looking forward to enjoying your time alone to think things over concerning next steps in your life… I also had a super professional driver …
I wholeheartedly believe that every single thing that happens in life if a potential point for transformation and change… a bright pinpoint of light that can extend for days, a lifetime, or to be quickly extinguished. The last 24 hours have been rich with moments to be captured…possibilities to be proven powerful. Today I went …
This morning I awoke very tired. An alarm went off, which surprised me as I stopped using an alarm clock again; I don’t think how alarms jolt me up is healthy and I certainly don’t like it. After a few years of no alarm, and a couple of months of using one, I’m back to …
