When we lose people in our lives it is interesting the things we hold on to. We may hold on to old photos, personal belongings, or mementos. Things that matter much more to us now than they ever did when the person was alive. It is because they are the things we have left - the [...]

In remembrance and honor…
Today is my oldest son Noah's 30th birthday. Just writing that causes me to want to additionally offer that I gave birth at the age of 10, but I will refrain because I know it borders on the line of being not very believable (alright, truth be told - I was 12). 😉 As regular [...]
Flawed, funky, and on occasion, fabulous!
Three years - or in The New Forty count - one thousand and ninety-five days. Whoa. I need to step back and take a breath. I really wasn't sure if I had it in me at the outset. Ah, but the proof is in the pudding. Apparently, there is all kinds of "stuff" in me [...]

Number two child, number one son, and agitator supreme…
Today is the 29th birthday of my second oldest child and oldest son - Noah.

When [...]
The best April Fool’s joke ever!
Today is my youngest child's birthday. Today Cheyenne is officially 12 (although she has by her account been "almost 12" for a good six months). Yes, I know it is April Fool's Day. What better day to deliver a baby a few months before you turn 40? The universe seemed to delight in its sense [...]
