Do one thing every day that scares you. - Eleanor Roosevelt I had a discussion with Maleigha the other night regarding homework that went as follows: Me: Maleigha, go get your homework so I can review it. Maleigha: Mom, you should just trust that I have it done. Me: Well,...
My niece got married last weekend, outside on a patio overlooking a golf course. Luckily the day was gorgeous, but regardless of what the weather was, it would have been great. There was a commercial this past year about a wedding party that gets married outside in a rainstorm. In...
Hmmm... this is hard stuff. As I've re-engaged with myself this past 8 months, I'm surprised by how possible life is. I'm walking to the edge more and trying to play, laugh, learn...live as if this is all there is. AND...AND... life is starting to, after 51 years, become clearer....
