Deep Thoughts

How You Meet It

March 13, 2012

It’s been a emotional ride the past few weeks. I am SO exceptionally grateful that Blake and I have been blessed with the ability to be back home with our families right now. There’s been suffering and death from cancer, blessings and strain of new births on the way, and the continual decline of dad’s…

Focus

February 21, 2012

Do you ever have one of those days when you spend a lot of time thinking about all the things you wish you were doing, had gotten done or were finishing? Today is that day for me. I feel like I need to find some focus again. I lay in bed last night thinking about…

That Sinking Feeling

October 12, 2011

Ever have that sinking feeling? So did this truck driver yesterday when he delivered a load of rock to mom’s yard. He might have made it if he hadn’t stopped to make sure he wasn’t sinking too much. But those few moments gave those front tires enough time to sink to a point the back…

Turning

September 26, 2011

My thoughts this morning are centered around the time of year. The leaves are turning colors, getting ready for a winter sleep. This process of change, of preparing for a period of dormancy is a pattern in our lives too. A new baby makes me think of spring, a walk in the autumn air with…

Almost

May 10, 2011

Where to start? I sat down in a race against the clock to blog a few thoughts running through my head on how today feels like an almost day to me. One of those moments when you feel like you almost reached the mark on so many things. As I was struggling to organize my…

Prepared

March 1, 2011

The wise advice to be prepared is timeless. Yet, I’m continually surprised at the depth of it. There was a time when it meant being ready to take a test or turn in an assignment; a time when it was about hitting a work deadline, and eventually a time when it was about taking steps…

What to Keep

August 13, 2010

So, this Spain thing has really brought some changes. A few months ago my husband and I were comfortably on the accumulation path. You know, the path of getting and then paying off the process of getting things. Things run your life. You don’t mean for it to happen, you don’t intend to give intangible…

So Much To Process

August 6, 2010

A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks. First, we got a call that Blake’s grandma Faye wasn’t expected to live beyond a few days to a few weeks. This is a picture of her (front row, third from the left) in 2003, when Taylor’s adoption was finalized. Last summer, we visited her…

Forethought

July 20, 2010

Admittedly, I tend to spend more than a fair share of my time and energies on preventative activities. I’m a big believer in the “ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” girl. I absolutely loathe panic and stress, and I’ve found that spending an adequate time planning and thinking ahead push panic and…

A Little Protection Goes A Long Way

May 19, 2010

While walking out front the other day, I spied this tiny little nest sitting in my guava tree: The entire thing would have fit neatly in the palm of a small child, yet the warmth and protection emanating from it would fill an entire heart. I couldn’t help but think about the representation it is…
