February 21, 2015. January 18, 2016. The pictures just can’t do it justice. The cove of the large hall had been decorated with such care. To fully seize the wholeness of the charm of this space and constrain it to a static image would be impossible. The sight took my breath away. I took a picture anyway so I could bring it home to share with my girls. They had been recruited to help serve in this newly adorned locale at an event that same night. And then they responded. But when I showed and described to...

February 24, 2015. January 18, 2016. I’ve made hundreds of them. Same recipe I’ve used for years. I’ve done it so many times that I don’t even have to refer to the back of the Nestles Tollhouse chocolate chip bag anymore to create the comfort of those fluffy, soft chocolate chip cookies I’ve loved since before I could even read the recipe.

June 22, 2015. January 18, 2016. Without you, I would not have held this banner. True, before you came along, I had held other colors that defined me. But none as considerable as this. You, my boy, were an adventure I could never have anticipated; an undertaking I might never have pursued if I had heeded the cautions of the well meaning crowd who warned me of the fortitude I would need to get you to this point. But I didn’t. And you are here. The boy that came from me. The desire of my heart. I knew lett...

August 17, 2015. November 11, 2016. Dear Voices in My Head Reminding Me of What a Loser I am,. I mean it. Just shut up! You’re exhausting me. You’re all talking at once and I can’t even make sense out of what you are all saying. And most of the time, you’re contradicting yourselves anyway. For instance, your endless remarks about what a horrible parent I am completely contradict the boundless comments that bolster my pride by pointing out all the ways the other parents around me are failing. You’re tryin...

And We Haven’t Stopped Talking Since. May 7, 2015. January 18, 2016. I really should have known I’d not be very successful in collecting any truly reliable details from a five year old. Where is he from? I asked my son in response to his excited report of the first day back to school after winter break. A new kid had shown up that day, half way through the school year, to join his kindergarten class. Is he from around here? Well does he speak English? Another One About Beauty. On She Chose Life.
