I was so focused on the wedding details, I completely forgot to write a toast for our new son-in-law and promised myself that I would put these feelings into words for him just as soon as the wedding was over.As I was writing this, we had quite a scare with Jacob’s health, and I had […]

Dear Ex-Boyfriend
Even though this is titled to a singular ex-boyfriend, it really isn’t. This is a message to anyone who has a special or not-so-special place in my past that really needs to stay there. I wanted to address it specifically to the individual so that no one can sit and read it and assume I […]

This is Where My Story Begins…Again…For Real This Time
I know I went dark around here, and for that I am sorry. I used to think that being an open book was the key to being held accountable. However, when it came down to making this particular life changing decision, I had to dig deep down inside of myself and only listen to the […]

The Flashlight
Yesterday I told someone that I hadn’t written in a long time because the only inspiration I could see around me was laced in grief. Oddly enough, I heard that same person later talking in metaphors about the light of a flashlight. He was describing how the light of the flashlight leads you forward, […]

Ghostwritter
Editors Note: This post was so artistically ghost written by my Daddy in my “voice” that I spent the first few sentences trying to figure out when I wrote it. It is a lot closer to my reality this week than when it was written two weeks ago. I may still feel like I am […]

Tackle it Tuesday: Back on Track
I lost sight of my Tackle it Tuesday posts when I hit a recent bump in the road. Katie has been hugely supportive in my time of need, and patient with my need to let go for a couple of weeks. She has been gently nudging me to get back on track, and I love […]

Whiiiiiineeeeeeey weeeeeeek
Last week, one of my very best friends, Jenny, put out a cry on her weightloss/fitness page for ideas about soft foods for me. It got fantastic response from everyone but me. This post was an incredible gift from my friend, but not in the ways you (she) might expect. Yes, it gave me ideas […]

We Will Never Forget
I could not let the day pass without mentioning its significance to me. Ten years does not seem like a relevant measure of time when it is in reference to something like the 9/11 attacks. It seems like just yesterday for someone like me with no connections to the people who lost their lives. I […]

An Extra Rare Toast
I walked up to a woman I know today and asked her how her husband (a customer of mine at my part time bank job) is doing. She looked at me and said “He is dead.” He was quite a comedian, and a morbid comic at that, so initially I thought she was joking with […]

The day was gorgeous, the details were carefully arranged, and the couple could not have been more noticeably perfect for each other. The wedding of my daughter and her groom was near perfect, and we could not have asked for much more. I just want to take a few minutes and thank all of the […]
