It came to my attention that this past Thursday was International Happiness Day. I can’t remember how I found out…but I do know it was after I made this video. I was kinda overwhelmed with all of these pictures and videos I had taken over the last couple of weeks on my phone and figured […]
I am beyond backlogged on preserving family memories. It comes to my attention that I have put a lot of pressure on myself to be the dream catcher for the entire family. Like…the reality that I am not keeping up with capturing the memories in my mind…much less getting the images in my camera or […]
Who knew that having a kid in Jr. High would take me right back there myself? It’s as if I’m walking around those halls…arching my back so I look a couple of inches shorter…wearing long, full skirts (that are the least fashionable things that I could put on my body, in case you were wondering) […]
Last night I shaved my legs. And…let’s not kid ourselves…it’s rare that I take the time to do that. And it made me wonder…why? Why do I not take the 90 seconds that it takes to shave my legs on a regular basis? It’s not like it takes that much time. I mean…it’s 90 seconds. […]
I’d like to be able to say that I went on some sort of artistic sabbatical or something. I’d like to be able to say that I purposely took a break from writing and photography and everything else artistic. But neither is true. I’ve been thinking about this quote that I heard a while back. […]

Once, the youth ministry at the Baptist church that I was a member of organized a caroling night that I had conveniently erased from my memory until just now. I still remember what the neighborhood […]
The post office is my least favorite place to go. At least…it was. I’m not exactly sure why…but getting to the post office has been an on-going problem for me. It’s even become a joke between myself and anyone I send packages to. Like…my friend, Ami…for example. We exchange birthday gifts every year. And every […]
My mind wanders during our advent reading each night. Engaging has never been my struggle…until now. I find myself thinking of all sorts of things…with short bouts of the scriptures Chad is reading interrupting my thoughts. Tonight I find myself wondering if writing will ever come easy to me again. Or rather…the desire to write. […]
I wish that this was a space were everything was always happy. But things are kind of a mess. Everywhere I look…a mess. And this time…no amount of tinsel or white twinkly lights can make it better. For example…the laundry on the middle of the living room floor…the one that Annslee is laying on top […]
