December 31, 2018. It’s the last day of another year. As I get older, it seems like the years go by faster and faster. Like clockwork, as the year comes to a close, I find myself looking back on all that the year has brought me. The physical things.. the experiences… the inner growth and evolution. Some things that come to mind are the trips we’ve taken. A beautiful vacation to...
Precious Time
On October 30th, I drove 5 hours by myself, leaving my husband and kids at home, to be there for my mom’s surgery the next day. On Halloween, she had a double mastectomy. I still find myself pausing when I say those words. Still trying to comprehend it all, I guess. This trip was the first time I had ever spent a night away from either of my children. Even when I stayed a few days in the...

Tina confirms that stores are getting more supplies in and that the area is safe for children. We will be going home tomorrow. I’m excited to get back, but I’m afraid of what we might find. What if the yoga mat...

You can feel hate and love for the same person or life circumstance. You can feel joyous and sad at the same time. Know that the cycles you experience are part of life. When you experience a lull, do not doubt the entirety of what you...
