• A New Chapter

  Sunday Morning. Memories. Decisions. Going to church was difficult this morning. The past week has been hard on our congregation with two funerals in one week. Then the night before my family got the news we were waiting for. As I said in Sunday School it was a double whammy. Tears and memories of this…

• Prayers

  One never knows how a day will start or end. It’s been well over a month but not quite 2 yet, since some news came from one of my family branches. It hit like a brick. Not only because it’s family, but because this cousin is also a brother in Christ and one I consider…

• Music & Goosebumps…

  Last night was my niece’s Spring Concert. To be honest a little more communication was needed from all the staff to the parents. There are two locations on the campus where a Concert can be held and we were originally told it would be the High School Gym. Nope. It was the Elementary Gym, I…

• Our Surprise Blessings

  We have now had our big surprise for well over a week. So much has been going on and it’s a little crazy at times, but mostly good crazy. The reaction that my Mom and I had was reverberated in my niece and her cousins Friday and all weekend long. She made excuses to get…

• Poignant Weekends

  The day that was instrumental in my decision to once again share the intricacies God reveals behind a snapshot of a moment in my life. Two Saturdays ago was that day. So many things had to happen a certain way for me to have an open heart to appreciate the layered beauty of the Mother’s…

• The Timing…

  Nothing about this week has been exactly normal. After Saturday I came to the realization that I wanted and needed to write again, but this radical change in our routine has made me alter a lot of decisions the last few days. Monday was supposed to be a post connecting me to my reaction from…

• God’s Will

  Wow the only place to start is the beginning. A week ago. Last Friday morning I left home with my parents fairly early to go to an appointment up at Terre Haute. Mom was getting some results from her stress test back from the week of Thanksgiving. It had been scheduled since the week before…

• Writing Prompt:

  How are you creative? An interesting question. One that comes from different inspirations. One because I was shown by family members like my Grandma Rosemary and Aunt Mary specifically with beads and making Perler magnets or ornaments for Christmas and with Cross-Stitch from learning with my Aunt. It didn’t stop there though and each creative…

• Words … and Their Effects

  Last week one of the reasons why it was busy and emotional was because it was my family’s first time back in therapy. Real therapy at Catherine Hamilton albeit I am sure some patients may not be sure the quantifier ‘real’ is absolutely true. Okay maybe that person who is not the patient is me.…
