“Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” - G.K. Chesterton In the past two months I have resigned two jobs that I deeply cared about and enjoyed doing. I will let your mind run wild as to all the ...
One of life's lessons that I attempt to teach my children comes from Maya Angelou. "When people show you who they are, believe them." The reason I emphasize attempt is because I am still learning this lesson myself. It is a hard lesson to learn. I know that I am constantly challenging it. I get ...
Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo. ~H.G. Wells At eighteen I worked as an assistant manager of a steak house. I got the job because I was pretty and the boss had other ideas in mind for me. While I did have ...

knock knock knock .... anyone still around? I know, I am neglecting this whole blogging thing. Neglecting my writing. Just today I finally got caught up in my reader. Things have been crazy around these parts. In fact insane. Since the last time I wrote here I may have become an ordained minister. Email me if you ...
I've been neglecting my blog...again. My attention has been elsewhere. Pinterest perhaps. Stolen moments and down time have been spent pinning crafts, food, ideas, and tutorials. I could be addicted. Just a little. But now I am here, writing. Updating what readers I might have left. Updating you on what it has been like to ...
