Everyone has their reasons. My mama is mine. She’s been on my team for everything. I wanna be able to support her in ways that give her a fulfilling life. When we were little she made us the best apple pancakes. I love breakfast so apple pancakes were easily one of my favs. It doesn’tContinue reading “My Reason”

What is Working?

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. Thomas A. Edison “I’ve fond 10,000 ways that won’t work,” sounds like a really great place to give up. Let’s reframe that. In the 10,000 ways that didn’t work, what did work? One of my I-give-up lines is “I don’t know.” What I’veContinue reading “What is Working?”

Candy Room

Yup, I’m sharing my favorite part from Willy Wonka again. I know I know you want new content and I swear I’m watching new movies. But this one right here has a special place in my heart. I’m sure it has a lot to do with there being a candy room and a song aboutContinue reading “Candy Room”

Grace Grace means finding peace in the storm so that others can benefit from your calm, from your faith, and from your belief that we are all doing the best we can. Funny thing is that the grace you give has nothing to do with whether they are calm, faithful, or doing their best. TheyContinue reading “Monday Reflections”

This Poem Reminded Me How Love Feels

I’ve stepped away from poetry. I don’t really have a good reason why, but most likely it’s because of the novel. But this crawled right into my heart and made a romantic out of me.

Don’t Forget to Play

When I was a kid, I love dressing up my barbies and playing with my barbie house. And I especially loved it when I mama played with me. It brought me so much joy. Today I got to play on the floor with my little one. We played with playdough and had a blast. WeContinue reading “Don’t Forget to Play”
