Who do YOU see?
Today’s daily post prompt is titled, Mirror, Mirror: Look in the mirror. Does the person you see match the person you feel like on the inside? How much stock do you put in appearances? Whew! This is such a universal topic, but one that’s come up for me often lately. As a person who lost… Continue reading

Wade In the Water
The kids’ baptisms were last night! They were so excited, but I’m pretty sure it was because they were finally allowed to touch the water in the baptismal font! Jacob got help with his first tie! I can’t believe how grown up he looks! They were given these beautiful banners commemorating their baptisms, a book,… Continue reading

Big Dreams
Dreams are scary. Especially the big ones. The ones you know in your gut are the right ones, but the how-to seems just out of reach. Or really far out of reach. I’ve heard it said that you have to figure out what you love to do, then figure out how to make a living… Continue reading

Tattoo
Originally posted on Life and Other Stuff: When I was 16 I REALLY wanted a tattoo. Really. A lot. But when my mom asked me what I wanted – I was always at a loss. I could never come up with something that I knew I’d be okay with at 90, or in a place… Continue reading

Gratitude
Ah, gratitude. It’s hard at times to cultivate a posture of gratefulness. There are days when it’s just not easy. Today is not that day. It’s Thanksgiving. And instead of blowing up the Facebook newsfeed with daily gratitude thoughts (which are nice), I decided to post my gratitude days in one giant post. Here are… Continue reading

Land of Confusion
Today’s post is directing us to write about a time when we felt out of place. Part of me feels out of place most of the time. And the times where I’ve been right where I’m supposed to be without a doubt are beyond words, yet not frequent. The first time I changed my child’s… Continue reading

What If
What if… What if we stopped? Stopped all the busy. What if we put down the 7 things we’re trying to do simultaneously? What if we focused on just one thing? Could we do it? We record television shows, while we are watching other shows, flipping channels because we get bored during commercials. We have… Continue reading

Daily Prompt: Inside the Actor’s Studio
As a writer, and an observer, I love learning about what makes people tick. It’s no surprise that Inside the Actor’s Studio is one of my favorite shows. When the daily prompt came up asking us to answer the interview questions the host James Lipton asks every guest, I couldn’t wait to settle in and… Continue reading

Just Imagine
There are some days when I just don’t feel like working out. When the warmth of my comforter feels much more inviting than wrestling a sports bra, slipping on workout clothes, consuming fuel and heading out into what still feels like the middle of the night. But imagine what I miss when I don’t get… Continue reading

The First Class
(The WordPress daily prompt was to discuss beginnings. How perfect!) Well, I did it! I didn’t puke, faint or fall off the bike! There was however a problem with the equipment. My phone (where my music is) was not compatible with the dock at the gym. Can’t very well have a spin class without music.… Continue reading
