A Heavy and Knowing Heart
September 13, 2018
The silence is screaming in my head. My deeper truth knows it’s okay. My presentable self is deciding whether or not I am being honest. I wonder if I am really accepting the approaching marriage of my ex-husband, tomorrow, to another woman or whether I am suppressing emotions that I am afraid will surface. I’m […]
My Thriving Plant
May 12, 2018
My plant is thriving. Nearly 3 years later. The plant had been given to me by my 2 closest friends. They were (still are) married to each other. They were my anchors in my greatest times of need. The plant was a gesture of kind wishes as my marriage came to a close and my […]
The Queen and the Pawn
May 24, 2017
I was playing chess with Caleb the other day. It’s been a while. I had to brush up on some rules and we helped each other along the way. I studied the players; their power; their worth. What has stuck with me over the last few days is Caleb’s question: “Isn’t it possible to get […]

The Quarter Moon and Friends, Setting an Example
The quarter moon sits nearly alone in an early-morning powder blue sky. Even though it only shows a part of itself, the power that it commands is unmistakable. I know there is more to that moon, though it waits it’s turn to light up fully and show it’s capability. One visible star fades from view dissolving […]
Emotional Growth Beside My Daughter
April 12, 2016
I cannot count the number of times it has been commented to me by family and friends over the past 2 months how my 16 year old daughter has changed, how she has matured in this past year. I see it too and I wonder what has transpired to cause it. It’s a positive change. Growth, […]
