I want to say at the outset that if you’re reading this because you’re hoping I’ll give details about the Les Hughey situation, I’m not doing that. There are ongoing investigations that I will be part of, and we will let those run their course. I do, however, have words right now. Mostly words […]
If Today You Were Shunned
(I wrote this post in the time it takes to boil water for mac and cheese. This will make you think I am either brilliant or lazy. I don’t care. Enjoy.) I was a freshman in high school. I remember it like it just happened. (don’t worry, this isn’t actually a violent or abusive story. […]
Gap Year Update – Week 3
I THINK this is week 3. Is it week 3 or week 4? I really need to pull out a calendar and figure out what day it is. Having finished my first travel adventure, I have now settled into a somewhat predictable pattern on this sabbatical/gap year of mine. I actually do love routine, and […]
Why We Try New Things – Gap Year Update
Gap Year, Week 3 How are we only 3 weeks in? I feel as though a lot of life has been lived. I’ve re-done a closet, started a YouTube channel, been on a girls trip to Asheville, NC, and run a 15K race. I may need to re-think the pacing. After all, the point here […]

Gap Year Update! A Mom’s Sabbatical
Haven’t updated ya’ll in a minute on where I am with my planning and scheming for my Mom’s Gap Year! It’s sort of like Eat, Pray, Love but with no foreign lovers because I am madly devoted to my sweet husband. Also that’s not really my style. It’s a sabbatical, of sorts, because I’m using […]
The Art of Being Still
It feels lately as though the universe is sending me a message. Does that ever happen to you? Multiple times a day from multiple sources, I’ll read something or see something that all relate to a common theme: stillness. Or sometimes it’s boredom, or maybe it’s rest, but the signs are all pointing to the […]
28th Wedding Anniversary so I Guess I’ll Write About Marriage
So, as of Saturday, Scott and I will have been married for 28 years. Yup. February 10th, 1990, we said I do in front of 250 of our closest family and friends. And I’m trying to figure out what to say about that. I mean, I still love him, we’re still IN love, and he […]
Help! I Hate My Job!
I’ve been working since I was 18 years old and I am now 47. I’ll let you do the math. Oh, never mind, I’ll do it for you, that’s 29 years of working. In that time, I’ve loved many of my jobs. I mean the kind of love where you literally jump out of bed […]
