Man oh man does moving on take freaking effort to start! However once you build up steam it’s easy to keep going. Like when a train starts moving from the station; at first it’s a little jerky and slow, and the train station isn’t the best sight to see. But then the movements smooth out,… Continue reading Leap

Winds of Change
Life has a funny way of making things work; the people that go in and out of your life, the conversations you have, jobs you change, and the places you go all have an impact on the ebbs and flows of what make up your life. Every interaction has its own version of a butterfly… Continue reading Winds of Change
Burn out, Appreciation, and Grace
One of my friends was talking the other day about being exhausted, not just sleep exhausted but how everything seems to take so much more effort after kids. Maybe it’s from having to herd kids around all day? Maybe it’s the not getting constant sleep to make up for what happens on the daily? Maybe… Continue reading Burn out, Appreciation, and Grace

Divorce
My parents divorced when I was eight years old, at the time I didn’t understand what that meant. When you are eight years old all you care about is Barbie’s, playing with your friends, and going to the mall (what else can you do in a small town?). I knew other kids whose parents weren’t… Continue reading Divorce
