How Quickly We Fall

I jumped right into the shower as soon as I got home from work tonight. I started remembering how after school and working out I used to get home at 6 pm and do the same thing when we lived on Darlene Drive in New York. My husband and his mom would always have to . . . → Read More: How Quickly We Fall

Storm Killer

Storm killer – brand new term I found in a blog I follow, God’s Beloved Daughters. In her post, A Calm and Undisturbed Heart and Mind, she said:

Let Her Go

The last few days my daughters have been “welcoming me back into the working world” as I grappled with computers and finding that all-important cup of afternoon coffee. Today, sitting on a quiet beach, watching the tide go out, I thought more about that – returning to the working world. It turns out that I . . . → Read More: Let Her Go
