Someone reading this today is ready to throw in the towel, quit, walk away, be done. It can be a number of things. A dream, a relationship, a hope, a prayer. It can be as different as we are different. On my darkest days, there’s a phrase I say to myself… You haven’t heard from […]
My tables got delivered damaged. With excitement, I waited and waited for my new kitchen table and my new dining room table to be delivered. I’ve never had a formal dining room so, I was like a kid getting their first bike on delivery day. As the table was placed in my empty dining room […]
While scrolling through social media I came across a letter which stopped me in my tracks. I’d like to share it with you… Hi ladies, Tomorrow will be my last clean for [name of bank]. I have made up a bucket of ISS cleaning materials for the next cleaner, whoever that may be. I’ve left […]
I didn’t think it would happen to me. I guess I’m naïve. I mean, I knew it could happen, I just didn’t think anyone would take the time to focus on me so intently. When I say focus I am not talking about in a good way—not even close. I have haters. I did a […]

My daughter and I took a walk with little guy in his stroller. “Today,” my daughter said, “I want to head up to Target to get patio chairs.” As we headed back with a significant trek still ahead of us, we noticed there were two wicker chairs sitting by the curb at a home along […]
We were watching the Super Bowl when something reflective and profound happened. It was the last few minutes of the game and the first time ever a Super Bowl had EVER gone into overtime. My daughter got up and told her husband, “I’ve got to visit the ladies room, you’re on Daddy Duty.” I’m thinking, […]
I was flying to Texas…many of my posts start that way, have you noticed? Well, I was flying to Texas, and my husband dropped me off at the Flyaway. (For those of you who don’t know, the Flyaway is a bus taking travelers to LAX.) I like to sit toward the front because I tend […]
A few weeks back I wrote a post titled Food Affects My Marriage. With it I got a tremendous outpouring of love and support for which I am truly grateful. I believe that a big part of conquering our struggles is admitting it to others. In doing so I’ve heard from many of you who […]
