Spring has sprung and so have my thoughts on these wonderful books! One after another, my March reads knocked it outta the park. A little romance, a little thriller, a spiritual read my soul needed, a way-outside-the-box rock & roll treat. This month, I also paid extra-close attention to my reading habits, as time with three babes ticks on. When and how do I find time to read five books in a month?! As long ... View Post
Homebody
And then one day, all alone in your closet, your favorite jeans button up again. The zipper doesn’t catch, but your throat does. You were just trying them on, to see “how far you still had to go.” But then you remember: the realest you? She’s been right here all along. Growing, while technically reducing in size. Stronger than denim, bigger than tags: infinite as the sunrise. Maybe they ... View Post

For two full years, we teetered dead-center on the ... View Post

Books are one of my biggest hobbies, pastimes and passions, as you know if you’ve ever talked to me for more than 10 minutes! Over the last few years, I’ve been sharing my reads and bookstacks on social media; sporadically, but frequently enough, I suppose. Over time, more and more of you have let me now ... View Post
The Courage to Give
The crisp air of January whips outside my family room window, tossing new leaves onto the life-sized pastel plastic princess castle I once upon a time declared hideous. Maybe it still is, and I just don’t care! But now I see something different. Not an eyesore, but rather another meaningful symbol that things are no longer what they once were for me—in my days, or my body, or my home décor, inside and out. And I ... View Post
