We finally, after many months of debate, decided to cancel our cable. It seemed like it was becoming an extravagance, a monthly expense we didn't need, and it was time to do without. I made the call early last week and I have to say, we have not missed it. We're spending a little extra … Continue reading Just a little thing
I am embarking on my 'joyous quarter' according to my best friend, as stated over a few (too many) drinks, a soak in a hot tub at a super swag Air BNB, and possibly some other influences. We were gushing over each other at our third 'annual' girls' weekend with my 'minions' - the beautiful, … Continue reading The joyous quarter
On days where I'm tired, and I feel the pressure of life, the stress of work - the difficulties of the tangible - creeping up my spine like an ache I cannot shake, I think of you. I think of you and the beautiful, meaningful, brief life you had here with us. You never knew … Continue reading My path
Hi, Baby. Six years ago, I carried you safely in my belly. You were tiny, and so was I. I had no idea that in a few short weeks, I would welcome you into the world. I planned for that homecoming to be months away. At that moment, six years ago, I just waited patiently … Continue reading Six years

My husband, sweet angel, and I spent three beautiful Thanksgiving Days together. Each bittersweet, as we had to make tough decisions about the health of our sweet, fragile baby, that alienated the very people who offered us love and support throughout his short life. But we did what we thought was best, and as I … Continue reading Thankful and grieving
Yesterday, I asked my sweet angel in Heaven if he could hear me. I get signs from him all the time. Things I see, hear, experience in my every day life that let me know my sweet boy is still with me. Just last week I'd gone for an 'energy' healing. It was something new … Continue reading All I had to do was ask
I found out today that a mama, who I really don’t know well, but who was instrumental in helping match us with our beautiful angel on Earth, lost one of her children recently. I don’t know the details, or the circumstances, only that she and I are now connected, as sisters-in-loss, mothers parenting children in … Continue reading Heart heavy
