One Year Ago
One year ago yesterday (October 17th) Caeleb had his 6th port placed. It has been the best port he has ever had. His daily infusions are going well, his inhibitor is in the process of being tolerized and the best news is that he has not been in the...
Struggling
Everyone has a story to tell. What you see on the outside may not come close to what is happening on the inside. Consider these examples… You are in line checking out at the grocery store. The clerk is rude to you. All you are trying to do is get some groceries...
I Just Want to be Mama Bear!
I want to scream, but I can't! I want to give some people a piece of my mind, but I can't! I want to shake some "adults" and tell them they are acting like children, but I can't! All I want to do is stand up for my son but when your son is 19, he has to fight his own...

What If? And a Little Doubt
I followed the directions and suggestions of the TED coaches to make sure I was on track with my talk. "Focus on content and your big idea….come to at least 3 sessions" - 5 weeks "Focus on gestures, voice, props…come to at least 2 sessions" - 3 weeks "Focus on...
Answering
I am at a time in my life where I am in absolute awe and amazement. I look back and think about the moment I walked up on stage at my High School graduation to deliver the student address. Why in the world did I think I could do that? I never saw it as a goal, I...
Forgetting to Worship
I realized something in church today. First of all, it was a fantastic service! We had a combined service with hymns and praise music had the “Blessing of the Backpacks” and passed out Bibles to our 3rd graders. I played special music with a new friend who is a...
