Eleven years
My mighty warrior, Caeleb turns 11 years old today. I lived for 37 years without him…how in the world is that possible? I have always said that I felt like my life began on June 23, 1996 when my Julian was born. For at least 5 years my husband and I...
Two weeks in…
It's January 15th…two weeks into 2017. I wonder how many people have already fallen off the wagon and blow their resolutions to pieces? My One Word, "change," is staring me in the face (literally, it's over my desk) and I feel like I have not given it justice. The...
On this day in 1927…
On this day in 1927, a baby boy was born. He wasn't just any baby. He turned into a smart, passionate, driven young man with a bright future for the taking. He was in the school band, was an athlete, was a loyal son and he fought hard to get his education. He lost...
Here I Go Again
Resolutions. One Word. The New Year. It can bring about the best and worst in us all within the first week! I have lived each year for the past several years with a word as my focus, and I already feel like I am not getting anywhere. My word for 2017 is...

My One Word…2017
My One Word for 2016, "Commit," did not exactly turn out the way I had hoped. I had big plans for committing to making different things happen in my life and they just didn't happen. When the year began I realized that my neck surgery was top priority and I had no...
Family
Family. I grew up understanding that family was related "by blood." I didn't even know anyone who had been adopted until I was in high school. I was taught that there were things you only shared with family…secrets were to be kept and kept close. After both of my...
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...
