Discouragement is for the birds, so let it fly the **** away.

12/02/2018 Leave a Comment

Discouraged. It’s what you feel when you’re stagnant in your career. It’s what you feel when you’re exercising five days a week, eating moderately healthy, and the scale just won’t budge. It’s what you feel when you and your spouse continue to argue over menial things, but you just can’t get and keep a hold…

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

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…

To the 20-Something-Year-Old That I Judged

10/14/2018 Leave a Comment

To the 20-something-year-old taking a selfie in the driver’s seat of the car behind me: I almost judged you, but then I realized I once was you. When I looked back and saw you adjusting your arm level and camera height and playing with your car’s AC so that when the air hit your hair,…
