A friend of mine (whom I adore!) posted this picture (below) on her FaceBook page. It makes me sad to think that so many women hold out on their happiness until they find Mr. Right. I truly 100%-without-a-doubt believe that the only Person who can "hug you so tight that all your broken pieces stick… Continue reading Who IS your Mr. Right?
"Arise....arise....arise...arise...." The Don Moen song was going through my head as I awoke early this morning. I lay there under my five blankets, cozy and comfy under their heaviness, hoping I'd fall back to sleep. Didn't happen. Instead my mind started considering an issue I'm currently facing. Nothing huge. Just a minor speed-bump. I believe… Continue reading It Took Me A Moment…(or 2 or 3…but I finally got it!)

A few moms and I chatted about how our summers were going. How we're amazed at how our children can be best buddies one minute… Continue reading Bleacher Talk
Last night we ate at the Rhinelander Pub & Cafe. The hostess stood next to me when we arrived at our table and smiled widely. "It's so nice to see another tall girl." I smiled back and said, "I hear ya. You don't see too many tall girls up north." I loved that encounter with… Continue reading Tall Girls Unite!!!
Life is way too short. It's over in the blink of an eye. Now that I'm 42--almost 43--I am finally understanding the full weight of that idea. I'm realizing that I have wasted part of my life, relaxing into the roles of wife and mother. There are things God made me to do, which I… Continue reading Life IS too short
Just got back home after a five day road trip to South Dakota. Although I'm glad to be out of the truck after 9+ hours, I am surprised at the lack of enthusiasm I have for being home. I already miss the beautiful 'see-for-miles-and-miles-and-miles' landscapes of the Black Hills and the prairies of South Dakota. … Continue reading Back to Reality
