I had a conversation this past week with an associate I've known for years. He and I have worked together in some capacity for over a decade though we've never really talked outside of the professional arena. We went on a team-building exercise to an escape room, where everyone has to work together to collect … Continue reading What we can handle
I picked my little angel on Earth up from daycare this afternoon and asked him if he wanted to go to the store with me. I had several errands to run as we are having a little belated birthday celebration for him tomorrow. He happily said yes and we drove to the local supermarket. As … Continue reading A hello from the Heavens
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.

The weight of responsibility in a world where I am now in control of my body, my emotions, my feelings, my little family, is absolutely, terrifyingly suffocating. The world that consumed me just months ago … Continue reading The weight of it
As a bereaved mother, the parent of an angel, I have an emotional reserve no bigger than a thimble. Yes, the amount of stress, duress, conflict, it takes to fill me up and tip me over could fit inside a cup no bigger than the tip of my finger. I have worked extremely hard to … Continue reading Emotional capacity
I had the pleasure of talking briefly about my angel today to one of my doctors, who also happens to be a dear friend. I'd gone to see him after a week of suffering a terrible cough I was convinced had turned to fatal pneumonia. Turns out it was a virus with some bronchial irritation, … Continue reading Managing
I wanted nothing. Because giving, helping, assisting someone with something, anything, feels so good in its own right.
It's no secret that I whole heartedly believe I receive messages from my angel. I read stories all the time of other mommies whose beautiful babies in Heaven send them signs and symbols only meant for them in times they truly need them. My girlfriend from work just came back from a stressful week of … Continue reading Messages
