I am the type of person who loves to reminisce. I love the act of flipping the book on my little life and pausing. I even have physical photo albums to help guide me. So, in the name of stepping forward into a whole new decade, I want to take time to reflect. I want… Continue reading A Decade Of … →

I have a slight inkling there are more than enough Remove Donald J. Trump posts and articles out to keep us going well into 2020. My hope is this one is a little different, in that my point-of-view is from the religious angle and, well, because if I don't write, I'll explode.

I am paraphrasing, but that was spoken at church on Sunday. To me, I read "regular" as "ordinary" in this context. It was a service filled… Continue reading Ordinary Moments →

Motherhood it seems is a series of pauses Food left here there Spoonfuls of rice or chicken bits everywhere I am learning to be OK with the messes I leave along the way including but not limited to the booger Bedazzled shirts I am in and crumby pants I take off at bedtime As I… Continue reading Pauses →

There are times I wonder how much I am affecting change from the screen. Since I was eighteen, I have been writing about religion and politics. It's so specific to that age, because the 2008 election was at its peak, and I was there for it in all my youth. So much so, that I… Continue reading On Needing a Social Media Break →
