Helping. Healing. Caring.
At the end of this very long day, I’m praying I’ll rest with a grateful heart. With thanksgiving for a day well spent with my people. With praise and honor for The One who provides the peace I so desperately seek. And with a spirit determined to press on, despite the burning desire that fills my soul […]
I saw the most beautiful baby tonight-I watched her snuggle and suck on her fingers, smile and bubble, be held and loved unconditionally with open and untethered hearts. Suddenly and without warning, it opened a door to a place deep in my heart that I wasn’t sure I could ever find again. and the blessing […]
And this morning, I just wanted to remember what it felt like that last year before the accident. How precious, how adored, how loved I felt by each one of my children. How wonderful it felt to wake up to smiling faces, happy birthday shouts from my little people, flowers on the counter, birthday presents […]

That was the very last question I remember you asking me…I can still here your sing-song voice asking me as your arms were wrapped around my neck. On your birthday, at just 5 years old, you asked me what it was like when you were born. Honestly, I was speechless for a moment, then I […]
I sat in that auditorium 1 year ago this weekend, bittersweet tears falling from my eyes as I fully realized that in just a few short weeks, we were leaving. Pulling up stakes on the Marine Corps traveling road show and unexpectedly starting over yet again. This day, these hours, precious laughter and tear stained […]
in short-I seriously thought my husband got struck by lightning today. Not kidding. And I honestly felt like I wouldn’t even have been surprised. That’s really what our life has felt like for the last 9 months. A merry go round of sadness, frustration, fear, pain and complete crap-a** circumstances. One hurdle after another. This […]
