Breathing
Last night, as I was walking out of the UNM Children's Hospital, the wind had picked up quite a bit (part of New Mexico living). The canopy over the entrance was whipping around pretty violently as the wind came at me full force. People were busy coming in to visit...
Love in Action
I've never been a big "Valentine's Day" person. When my husband and I were dating we often had rehearsals, concerts, or conventions on the 14th of February. Maybe an occasional dinner but never anything extremely special was made of that day. Today I have watched as...
Struggling
My mighty warrior "Christian" is amazing. He manages to be happy despite not being able to walk, despite missing so many days of school and even despite spending day after day in the hospital because of his bad knee. His right knee started becoming a problem in...
Snow
Tonight I am winding down on the fifth night of a hospital stay with my 8 year old, "Christian". The snow is coming down outside, blanketing the streets and rooftops of the buildings around us. It's as if the snow is covering up the messiness of the day as we move...
To Plan or Not To Plan

When I think about the roads I have been down I am pretty amazed at how my journey has landed me where I am...in the midst of a second career, preparing one child to move on to college and doing second grade homework with the other, while maintaining a home, being a...
Fifty Years Ago
Fifty years ago my mother-in-law became an unwed mother. Back in the 60's that was not a good thing. She managed to keep her job throughout her pregnancy and worked hard to forge a life as a single woman during that time. She did an amazing thing. The son she gave...
Birthday’s
Having a good attitude and tons of hope to start the New Year is a good thing. And then it happens…."Mom, my knee hurts." Ugh. On the evening of the 16th I knew that the pain was about to get out of control so I took "Christian" to the hospital...
Secrets
I always loved secrets when I was a little girl. You know, the harmless kind that involved "liking" someone…..or being liked by someone 🙂 One thing I have noticed is that sometimes having secrets can be lonely. You either can't share because of your status in a...
