Blessed

CherryBlossoms

Have you ever found yourself unexpectedly in a moment (or conversation, etc) where you suddenly realize just how much you’re blessed? It can be an amazing, humbling and eye opening experience. To realize that yet again, your life isn’t all that bad comparatively. It’s all about perspective. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to [...]

Helping Disaster Victims in Japan

Japan2-copy-550x300 (1)

As I learned about the devastating events in Japan in the aftermath of the 8.9 magnitude quake I was horrified and saddened for all the people there. Not only is the devastation from the earthquake alone terrifying, but the resulting tsunamis and nuclear threats make it even worse.  I absolutely cannot imagine what it is [...]

You (Yes, YOU) Are More…

I love love love this song, the message, the meaning, the life, the truth, the forgiveness, the lifting of shame! This song is so absolutely the message I want each and every dear person I love, to know… to accept… and to simply breathe in the amazing scent of absolute, complete and totally unconditional love!! [...]

Love

lovefeatimg

Possibly the simplest three words in existence “I love you”, are also quite possibly the most powerful. The act of loving another human being can so fully complete us and fill us and heal us. But all too often we let it just slip by unnoticed from day to day without acknowledging it’s vast benefits. [...]

Watch Me Mommy

Our boys love to talk to us, some of them more (ok, MUCH more) than others. Today as I was checking email my little Bug came up and stood right next to me. Bug: “Mommy look.” Me: “uh huh sweetie” (not really paying attention) Bug: “Watch me Mommy, watch me” (in his happy little voice) [...]

A Matter of the Heart

The heart… The heart begins beating less than a month after conception and continues (of course) until the day of our death. It is one of the most incredible muscles of the body and was perfectly designed. It is what we refer to not only for it’s technical life giving aspect, but also in regards [...]

Breathe

One day at a time. One adventure at a time. One child at a time (ok two in the case of the twins). One moment at a time. Breathe. Sometimes being a mom feels like a balancing act. Ok, a lot of the time. There are little lives in our care and we are totally [...]

An Amazing Life

So here’s the bottom line: Living the Truth is not at all about being religious…it is so much simpler than that. Christ didn’t walk around beating everyone over the head…it’s so important to remember the genuine, human nature of his life. His love and acceptance of the people that so many saw as unclean and [...]

Oh For Crying In the Night

As many of you know, we have had our fair share of sleep problems with the twins. They still end up in bed with us at some point in the night more often than not. I cringe to admit that because I honestly never thought that would be the case for me since my older [...]

Holding Pattern?

Life is such an interesting complex mix of events isn’t it? We’re still dealing with far too many illnesses and injuries to count, but i’m trying to also find the fun little things mixed in. This has been a huge challenge for me as the natural course of things when you are in the midst [...]
