Let me tell you a little story. Once upon a time, my daughter was ill and required a stay in the hospital for treatment. She had gone through surgeries and hospital stays before, so it wasn’t exactly a new thing. But this particular treatment, while necessary, was something she was adamantly against. When I hadContinue reading “What Have We Become?”

Breaking the Cycle
Well, here we are. In the wake of yet another school shooting. The drama has commenced. The outrage, the finger pointing, the “it’s the guns” people, and “it’s not the guns” people, arguing until they’re blue in the face, with neither side budging. It’s the thoughts and prayers, it’s the “now’s not the time toContinue reading “Breaking the Cycle”
Total Eclipse of the Heart
In case you have been living under a rock, there is a total solar eclipse happening tomorrow. The moon hasn’t thrown this much shade at America in nearly a century. (See what I did there?) My inner nerd is ecstatic! It’s expected to be the most observed eclipse ever. Not surprising, as our culture isContinue reading “Total Eclipse of the Heart”
Is It October Yet?
Fall is in the air! Ha, ha, just kidding. Of course it’s not. It’s freaking 105 degrees outside today in Fort Worth. Fall is the last thing on the mind of the Texas weather gods. But…I’m already craving it. I’m ready for football, and pumpkin flavored everything, and of course, Halloween. I love Halloween. ItContinue reading “Is It October Yet?”
Love, hate, and teenagers
This is my first new blog post in over a year. Working full-time and the roller coaster of other issues have kept me from it. But I was inspired to start writing again by a friend (thanks Isabel!) who reminded me that I have a bit of a knack for it. For me, writing isContinue reading “Love, hate, and teenagers”
All my favorite men…
I started thinking today about all the celebrity crushes I’ve had over the years. And there have been a lot! Many have come and gone, and a select few have always stayed close to my heart. So as a treat for me as well as all the ladies out there, I’m going to share someContinue reading “All my favorite men…”
Ode to my fur baby!
Am I raising a cat or an infant? I ask myself this question often about my little feline bundle of joy, Kiwi. She is most definitely NOT what I signed up for when I got a cat, and sometimes I wonder if she’s a dog or human child trapped in a cats body. I endedContinue reading “Ode to my fur baby!”
What defines courage?
I will be sharing 2 blog posts this week. One will be serious. Since I have already opened the controversial can of worms with my last TWO posts, apparently, I thought I might as well go for a 3rd. My 2nd post this week will be purely comic relief. So stay tuned! Since the appearanceContinue reading “What defines courage?”
Dear Duggars:
I have never had the intention of getting political/controversial on this blog. My posts are normally intended for fun and relatability, and I don’t ever want to try to ruffle feathers. But since I am sitting here fuming over what I just witnessed, I feel I must get this out or else something in myContinue reading “Dear Duggars:”
