My dad has strong man hands. I think Reba McEntire wrote “Daddy’s Hands” after my dad’s hands. “Daddy’s hands were soft and kind when I was cryin’ Daddy’s hands were hard as steel when I’d done wrong Daddy’s hands weren’t always gentle but I’ve come to understand There was always love in Daddy’s hands.” I’ve […]

Love…
I’ve never been good at dating. Like NEVER. I was so bad at it, it literally still surprises me that I’m married with kids. In High School, I didn’t have a boyfriend. I liked to tell myself it was because I didn’t want to be locker room talk but in all actuality I wasn’t asked […]
A Guided Meditation @ Fierce Forward Meetup
Public speaking has never been my thing. Like NEVER. It’s a good thing speech is a required class in High School because I’m fairly certain no one would take it if it wasn’t. The shaking voice, sweaty palms, the nerves, the way the seconds seem to pass like hours and you’re 3-5 minute speech feels like […]
Meditation Monday – February
I realize this is late. I wasn’t planning on getting sick but it happens… Because this is the time of year when sickness lurks in every corner waiting to pounce on the unexpected, I thought we’d keep this months meditation easy. Purity. I like to put my feet up, literally, on a wall while I’m […]
Hearts in the Ice

King Luther
Bash came home from school last week excited to tell me about what he had learned that day. Bash: Momma, today we learned all about King Luther and all of the good things he did. Me: King Luther…King Luther…never heard of him. Bash: Yes you have, momma! That robot voice on that song we like, […]
Flexible
I’ve never been very flexible. In grade school sitting criss-cross applesauce was a challenge that I just gave up on. In High School during the Presidential fitness test, I passed everything but the sit-and-reach. All I needed to get was one inch past my toes. I tried 4 times and my best result was zero…the first […]
