A Heavy and Knowing Heart

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.

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

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, […]
