Dream Bigger, Young Lady

11/10/2018 Leave a Comment

“Dream Bigger.” Only two words, but they pack a gigantic punch when you live them as your mantra. In this photo (above) you can’t be more than 2.5 years old. I know this because of the white and pink diaper I see peeking out from beneath your itty-bitty pink shorts. You are sleeping, probably mid-nap,…

This is a prayer request

10/28/2018 Leave a Comment

This is a prayer request. A prayer request for any husband who tonight, upon his return from work, asks his SAHM wife what she did all day. This is a prayer request. A prayer request for any wife who tonight, upon her husband’s return from work, forget to hide the eight Amazon packages that were…

‘Sometimes I get mad.’ CONFESSIONS OF A TWO-YEAR-OLD

10/21/2018 Leave a Comment

Lately at bedtime, my 2.5-year-old will lie down, look up at me and say “I have a question”. Me, who is fluent in toddler, knows that this means she has a statement or remark that she wants to make and have heard. So, I ask her, “What’s your question, Boo?” Yes; I am one of…

Only a Child Can See Magic Inside of Hospital Walls

08/28/2018 Leave a Comment

“This is magic.” Only a child would say something like that while walking the halls of a children’s hospital. We had just exited the elevator taking us from the registration floor up to the pre-op level for my daughter’s scheduled surgery –a tonsillectomy, a frenotomy (lip-tie cut), and a myringotomy (ear tube replacement). When we…

When Our Children Lock Us Out

08/26/2018 Leave a Comment

This morning my two-year-old locked me out of my house. I stepped out back on our patio to let our aging Labradors out to relieve themselves. While I usually leave the back door open so that I can hear my kids fighting for the three to five minutes that I am not in the room,…

I Get the Worst of You

08/21/2018 Leave a Comment

I claim (and complain) that I get the worst of you, but the truth is that I get the best of you. I get the you who is on the journey. I get the you who is slightly naive and curious. I get the you who is learning and growing. I get the you who is…

So God Made You (and You and You)

08/19/2018 Leave a Comment

I thought I knew what was important in life. So God made you (and you and you) to show me what important looks, sounds, and breathes like. I thought I knew how to recognize beauty. So God made you (and you and you) to show me that beauty can look different and make you feel different…
