In the evening.

It’s late, and I’ve just crawled into bed, thrilled to be between the soft flannel sheets. The cool of the night surrounds me, but I can feel the warmth coming. It builds like mid-day in the summer, when the backyard is quiet and the heat of the sun rests like a lightweight blanket. Calm, warm,… [Read More]

How do you handle change as a mother?

October 11, 2021 · 4 Comments
Filed Under: mamahood

The last year has really caused me to stop and think about change. How do I adjust to change? How do other women adjust to it? Am I open to accepting change? What changes have been the hardest to accept; the easiest? Here’s how I handle change: History proves Zack and I are very open… [Read More]

Good afternoon! As I write to you I’m seated at a large table inside a library, and I’m happy to be spending time in this building once again. I really enjoy being surrounded by so many books and patrons interested in learning and growth. Zack and I are re-watching Downton Abbey, and in one recent… [Read More]

Breath prayers.

Filed Under: Faith, lifestyle

Today feels like a great day to share with you some “breath prayer” art made by my real-life friend, Lisa! Her shop, My Little Buffalo, features beautiful and perfectly simplistic illustrations (family portraits & wall art). I was first introduced to the concept of a breath prayer through the writings of the late Shelly Miller…. [Read More]

The battle, the war, and the sign in the shadow.

You may remember me sharing that last summer, Zack and I began waking up at 4:30 in the morning to read scripture, worship, and pray. It was such an enriching time for us, especially as we were navigating his job loss in March and we suddenly found ourselves with an abundance of time at home…. [Read More]

Filed Under: Faith

Last summer, Zack and I began waking up at 4:30 am to worship, read scripture, and pray. This song quickly became one of my favorite songs. As the months passed, I had stored even more of God’s wisdom in my heart, and as I listened to the words sang in the song, it was a… [Read More]

HAPPY MONDAY to you! This month brought a handful of fun surprises, delights and a few laughing snorts. I’d love to share them with you… The first is our new couch arrived! It’s light gray, tufted, a sectional (glory!) and Mid-Century Modern in design. We all love it so much! Max told me today, “I don’t… [Read More]

Filed Under: Faith, mamahood

I’m writing to you in the evening which generally is not when I write, but tonight IT IS when I’m writing. Normally at this time of day I have very little comprehendible thoughts. Let’s see what I’m able to put together… The day is coming to an end for our four young children. They’re being… [Read More]

Thirteen thoughts in March…

Filed Under: inspiration, thirteen thoughts

Feeling very, very grateful for some of the personal changes I’ve made since November of last year, which I’ve mentioned briefly. Here’s what’s been transformative for my mental health: vitamins, caffeine awareness, an increase of sleep, and “doing” something when I feel my anxiety flare. Last month I added to the mix, “step back from… [Read More]
