My top 10 favorite things about parenting
My only baby is in Heaven. But I am still a mother. My husband and I are still parents. And we loved parenting. Not just because we had an unconditional love for our son we had never experienced prior to his existence. But because every moment we spent with him, every argument we had over … Continue reading My top 10 favorite things about parenting
Timing and purpose

Rare gifts
I’m not a big news watcher. I have tried to focus a little bit of attention to the world around me lately since we are in the midst of a very historical election period, but generally, I do not turn on any of the major networks at 6:00. My news comes from E!, the Hollywood … Continue reading Rare gifts

My angel, though I would give anything to have him here with me on Earth, watching him grow, relishing every sweet moment of his existence, is helping me to live happy each and every day. … Continue reading An angel’s magic
Close to you
I will readily admit I am not the most self-motivated individual, especially in regards to fitness. I was an active kid, involved in every sport I could try, and played competitively through college. But as an adult, fifteen years, four abdominal surgeries and about twenty pounds later, activity is a little tougher than it used … Continue reading Close to you
To those grieving
If you are anything like me, when you get even a short breath, a moment without tears, a minute of relief, you will start to grasp at anything to not feel the pain of grief. Because the pain of grief is unlike any other hurt, or ache, or sadness. You can't relieve the pain of … Continue reading To those grieving
