Hello, Friends, It’s Been A While
Hi! Remember me? It’s been a bit, right? While I’m rarely at a loss for words, I have been at a loss for words. Seems like a big pile of heaviness has been following me, and I’ve given in and sulked about in that heaviness for long enough, time to shake it off and lighten …
Hero. Parent. One and the Same.
Raise your hand if when you see your mom and dad, you see HEROES. *raises BOTH hands* I often associate sunbeams and rays of light with my Gram, as I imagine she’s looking down on me from heaven and sharing unspoken, yet steadfast, encouragement.

Ah, Autumn breezes, falling leaves, cooler days and crisp nights … what a BEAUTIFUL time to think about transformation, amirite?! Even though the calendar just now shows the change of season, it’s been on my mind for a while. The smell of all things apple and pumpkin is like a magical spell for my soul. …
How to Make a Sunshine Sammich Between the Clouds
Friends, it’s been quite a week. I’ve ran the gamut of emotions, and unfortunately, some lingered like mosquitos, and sucked the life out of me. I was chastised by a neighbor for letting my kiddos have a wild dance party while playing with the dog (#SorryNotSorry), had some pretty charged conversations, and felt hugely disappointed …
Sassy Radish-y
Now that I’ve got your attention, let me quickie share about …. The humble radish. Who EVER thinks about radishes?! I mean besides me, because OBVIOUSLY they’ve been on my brain. I passed by radishes the other day at the grocery; they were so bright and cheery looking, they called my name rather loudly, so …
