Wildflowers~: July 2009
http://wearewildflowers.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Beautiful * Alive * Strong * Rising. Monday, July 27, 2009. Anonymous" Four Years Ago. It has been so long since I have written in my journal. It surprises me that I am motivated to do it now… I guess it is because my feelings are changing so drastically lately, and I don’t know why. There was a selfish self-vindication of sorts. I got to be the “good” one - finally. I got to be the victim, the innocent one, the saint. He was the problem. He was the bad one. Perhaps it is just time that has created this&...

Ashley's Tiny Crumbs: My Husband Tells Me I Need to Soften My Vagina
http://ashleystinycrumbs.blogspot.com/2012/07/my-husband-tells-me-i-need-to-soften-my.html
In Which I Feel Compelled to Start a Blog Because of a Club and a Unicorn. Thursday, July 12, 2012. My Husband Tells Me I Need to Soften My Vagina. My youngest, Ada, still likes to go to church occasionally. Makes sense. The little kids sing songs and color and play games. One recent Sunday, she asked me to go with her. I said okay. Y are known to make blankets for less fortunate children. The Relief Society typically puts together care packages for people all over the world in crisis. I, even I, had day...

Serendipity: His Story
http://serendipitystr8wife.blogspot.com/p/scotts-story.html
Written by Scott, January 2011. This understanding led to an adolescence filled with mental gymnastics and selective blindness- after all, gay people were bad, and I knew that I wasn’t a bad person, so I couldn’t be gay. Any evidence to the contrary had to have another explanation. Eventually (after five months of dating) I even decided that I was ready to kiss her. And so it was that less than three months after I returned from my mission I married Sarah, my high school sweetheart. My experience in self...

Serendipity: Gay marriage in Utah?
http://serendipitystr8wife.blogspot.com/2013/12/gay-marriage-in-utah.html
Thursday, December 26, 2013. Gay marriage in Utah? Twas the day after my gay friends began to legally marry. At first I only saw the decision from the judge on Facebook. I didn't understand that there were actually people getting married, and more lining up to get married, in case it would all be shut down within hours or days. There is no way this is actually happening unless hell has frozen over." And maybe it had- the weather had been really cold. The stars are brightly shining,. Fall on your knees!

Serendipity: Recent Hype over Mixed Orientation Marriage
http://serendipitystr8wife.blogspot.com/2012/06/recent-hype-over-mixed-orientation.html
Friday, June 15, 2012. Recent Hype over Mixed Orientation Marriage. It all seemed to start with the cover and associated article of the May/June 2012 issue of LDS Living. Which is published by LDS church owned Deseret Book. The cover photo is a happy close-up shot of gay LDS author of In Quiet Desperation. And Voices of Hope. Ty Mansfield along with his wife Danielle and their young son. A large title adorns the page: "Our Story: Living with Same-Sex Attraction.". Not funny and not a healthy marriage!

Serendipity: March 2014
http://serendipitystr8wife.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 21, 2014. I spent a few months really enjoying my regular church attendance, but for the last few weeks, I've been struggling to attend for various reasons. In fact, certain things (which I don't feel like I should share specifically) have made me nearly certain that my path should probably be heading out of the church again. That is until a blog post. I did briefly refer to my experience in my post about wearing pants to church. Just a couple of months ago. And then the church sent a letter.

Serendipity: Exhaustion
http://serendipitystr8wife.blogspot.com/2014/02/exhaustion-from-circling-wagons.html
Sunday, February 23, 2014. The last two days- as well as a few days and weeks prior- I spent time preparing for and attending the "circling the wagons" conference. I was on the planning committee as well as on a facilitation panel for a straight spouse workshop. ( Circlingthewagons.org. My dear friend John wrote an excellent blog post about the conference that I will refer to here. Just a difficult and exhausting journey to navigate. So not easy being a pioneer.

Serendipity: Just another day...
http://serendipitystr8wife.blogspot.com/2013/08/just-another-day.html
Thursday, August 1, 2013. I hope no one minds if I post about my evening, which to me seemed as it should be, while others would find it to be incredibly weird. I had a medical procedure done this morning (ablation, to hopefully eliminate messy, painful periods) and the timing happened to fall on the date my 17 and 15 yo left for a youth conference. In other words, they weren't around to babysit me nor their younger brothers. Just a day in my life, LOL. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 8220;I do not f...
