My post-apocalyptic quest towards the light
Change is coming. I feel it in the air. I feel it in my bones. There’s something magical about those first signs that spring is about to wrestle the baton from winter’s grasp, leading us all on a merry romp away from a grayscale existence and back into the warm exuberance of a technicolor world....

After waiting 23 long years to see a snowflake fall from the sky, warm winters are not my thing. My lifetime snow quota has yet to be met. I greet snow days with glee. So you can imagine my disappointment that temps have stayed well above freezing this winter. We’ve had rain—lots and lots of... Continue Reading →
It’s International Women’s Day! There are so many amazing women to celebrate today - I decided to focus on the core team of women who first had my back. This is my mom at her baby shower. Technically, I’m in there too, hiding out just behind the flowers. She's flanked by her mom (l) and... Continue Reading →
Tonight, my house smells delicious. Tomorrow should be even better, assuming I don’t burn anything. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. While I love the twinkling lights and colorful decorations of Christmas, Thanksgiving is my hands-down favorite holiday. Good food, family, and friends make me one happy chica. I get to cook in a very over-the-top... Continue Reading →
On this, the eve of a rather unprecedented presidential election, all I have to offer is a few photographs. Calm, peaceful images of my town.

We’ve got weather! So far things are ok. We made it through the night without any trees falling near our townhouse and we still have power, unlike some others in the area. However, that was merely Storm One. Storm Two is supposed to hit tomorrow and it could get freaky wild and windy. So, keep... Continue Reading →
My niece wrote a poem for school. My sister-in-law sent it to me and it made me cry. In that one short poem she demonstrated that she is a writing force to be reckoned with. She is fierce. She set the mood, forged memorable characters, elicited fond memories from her audience, and took us from... Continue Reading →
Sometimes when I’m overwhelmed by the craziness that’s been my year, I turn on some music and listen to the words. I try to hear the message the writer set out to deliver. Today, it was Mat Kearney delivering the much-needed counseling. “Just because it’s pouring down, doesn’t mean we’re gonna drown.” I’m keeping my... Continue Reading →
For most of my life, I’ve been afraid. I’ve been afraid and I’ve made decisions based upon those fears. Some of them, like a genuine dislike of heights, make sense from a human survival kind of perspective and don’t really interrupt normal life. And then there are the ones that don’t make much sense at... Continue Reading →
It’s been a crazy few weeks. And I’m not talking crazy fun. Just crazy. With a lot of work thrown in for good measure. Hence the blogging vacation. I’m pretty sure none of you wanted to read endless posts about how much paint I had in my hair or on various parts of my body.... Continue Reading →
