I’m floating on the surface of the lake with you. In an old, and tattered boat. It’s got plugs where holes once were, and we can’t pull the anchors up so every inch we move forward is sluggish and tainted with an equal pull backwards. It really is beautiful up here though. The sun is… Continue reading What Lies Beneath Us

What Motherhood Means To Me
I haven't written for the past few days because the only thing weighing on my heart is my mother. I found myself wrestling with the thought of whether it seems pathetic to have a blog meant for sharing my thoughts on anything under the sun, yet here I am, compelled to write about her time… Continue reading What Motherhood Means To Me
Wise Words From A Little Man
Being a parent is such a wild adventure! With a 20-year-old and an 8-year-old, I feel like I’m well-prepared to understand just how crazy the journey can be! Yesterday, my 8-year-old had a friend over, and they had a bit of a disagreement. My son handled it with a calm and straightforward approach at first.… Continue reading Wise Words From A Little Man
Throw Back Thursday (Sick And Tired)!

Throw Back Thursday (on a Friday!): Warpaint (1/10/2017)
I failed yesterday. Life threw its chaos at me, and I didn’t manage to share my Throwback Thursday post. But here it is, a day late, and oh, how it pulls at my heartstrings. Written in 2017, revisiting it fills me with a bittersweet ache for the woman I once was. On the surface, I… Continue reading Throw Back Thursday (on a Friday!): Warpaint (1/10/2017)
Throw Back Thursday (When The Storm Comes 11/15/2016)
For this reflection post, I thought it was time to take a fresh look at this blog I wrote about my rocky relationship with my mom—or maybe more accurately, the huge void where that relationship should be. I wish I could look back at this 2016 post and say that everything’s changed, but honestly, that’s… Continue reading Throw Back Thursday (When The Storm Comes 11/15/2016)
God Does Bless The Broken Roads!
Have you ever wished you could go back and talk to your younger self? Like, maybe your 20-something self? Just to say, ‘Hey, hang on, it gets better!’ I’ve thought about it a lot. I felt so lost during those years of my life. I often hear people say that their twenties were the best… Continue reading God Does Bless The Broken Roads!
Throw Back Thursday (A Love Without Buts 3/10/2016)
I originally wrote this post in March of 2016. Nine years ago, when our love was new. So very new. I smiled the entire time I was reading this and reflecting on this post again. I smiled because I can remember the butterflies that this man gave me back then, I remember them well because… Continue reading Throw Back Thursday (A Love Without Buts 3/10/2016)

Throw Back Thursday: (Grieving The Baby We Never Got To Hold 2/17/2016)
I made up my mind when I decided to start writing again, that on Thursdays I would share some of my writings/blogs from the past. A “Throw Back Thursday” if you will, and reflect on them now. I decided to share this one first. Because this is the moment writing really changed for me. It… Continue reading Throw Back Thursday: (Grieving The Baby We Never Got To Hold 2/17/2016)
