A beautiful lesson learned
Bullying. My oldest son, Julian, was the victim of bullying when he was in public school. In high school he was physically assaulted. It was a nightmare. As a parent, you try to handle things, but the truth is that you can't be everywhere, all of the time when your...
A Sign
It's been a month since I lost my job. I have gone through every emotion imaginable as I have been dealing with such a significant loss. It's funny how what seemed to have been the worst thing in the world has turned out to be one of the best. I don't have a job...
Warmth
Winter has finally hit New Mexico! I am one of the ones who loves the cold…the colder the better. And when it is cold and blustery outside there is nothing like coming inside to a warm home. You put on your fuzzy socks and sweatpants and sit to watch a holiday...
Apartment 13
There are so many things to give thanks for this season, but two very, special women have been on my heart. During my sophomore year in college, I moved from the dorms to the university apartments. I had one roommate that lasted only a short time and then I was...

A New Direction
Change is not always a welcomed visitor…especially when it is not your choice. At least when you have the choice to instigate change you may have an idea of what you are about to encounter. But when your livelihood is at stake change can be terrifying. I am...
On this day…
I love when I look at Facebook and the "On This Day…." reminder comes up. A familiar photo of a special time with family and friends, a post about the events of a fantastic day…but when October/November comes, those posts are often ones I would rather not...
The Pit
I suffer from clinical depression and anxiety. It's not a big secret, but it's something I don't talk about very often. I was officially diagnosed 20 years ago but looking back on the years before that, I can see that there were definitely signs. My mother also...
You just never know
Friday night our women's ministry held an event at our church. The program was filled with several women who shared their faith journey. It was absolutely amazing. Four women of all ages stood in front of our group and opened their hearts sharing their struggles and...
