It’s been a year. A year since everything changed for my family. I thought I’d wake up sad on the anniversary, but I didn’t. I’m not sure what that says about me and I’m sure a psychologist would have a field day with it, but it’s the truth and so it is what it is.…

People are not responsible for the actions of others. We are all responsible for ourselves and our own actions, and I don’t know about you but that’s more than plenty of responsibility for me to manage. In the last few days I’ve watched Melania Trump and Hillary Clinton be questioned about the behavior of their…

I need to start going up to the front of the church for Children’s Time. Maybe children’s messages have gotten better since I was a kid, or maybe I’m just in that developmental phase where mid-life people can only digest 2nd-grade style messages. But I get a lot out of what we should probably be…

I have a habit of being in the middle of multiple books at one time. If one is a romance novel and one is biography of Mother Teresa and one is about the habits of highly successful people, I’m on pretty solid footing in terms of not confusing things in my mind. Books typically fall…

Hurricanes. Tornadoes. Earthquakes. Landslides. Fires. Volcanic eruptions. Diagnoses. Divorces. Death of loved one. Car accidents. Addiction. A child in trouble. War. Oppression. Terrorism. There are so many kinds of storms. People think I’m crazy for living in a place that’s prone to hurricanes. But I think it’s significantly more crazy to live in a place…

I hate cancer. I really, really hate cancer so much. Today I read that someone I don’t even know received a breast cancer diagnosis, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. And there’s no real reason why, because it doesn’t impact me personally at all. I don’t know how to explain it except…

If I could remove one line from every single person’s list of things they say to kids, it would be this: So, are you excited to go back to school?! Because let’s face it – most kids are not. Even the kids that are really good at school and who love education aren’t sitting around…

I love photographs. Color photos. Black and white photos. Sepia photos. Panoramic photos. School photos. Nature photos. War photos. Historical event photos. Not only do I take a ton of pictures thanks to the convenience of my iPhone, I have tons of old photos in boxes and frames around my house. And a few times…

My children are smarter than me. I say this regularly and I think people think I am being silly. It’s true and I’ll say it again: my girls are smarter than me. I may still need to provide them with instruction and guidance as it relates to riding a bike, driving a car, eating broccoli,…

The word broken means a lot more than I thought it did. I’ve always thought of broken as not working and not fixable. Like a mirror – once it’s broken, it’s done. Nothing but an annoying thing you need to clean up (as you’re trying not to cut yourself) and throw away. But according to…
