In January of this year, my son was diagnosed with cancer. It turned our world upside down and all of a sudden we were living day to day.

He’s always doing something, a million somethings every second, yet sometimes we don’t see the full effect for years. Our family has been going through huge transitions lately. Making it through the bulk… Continue reading Ready to Go

In that conversation, a friend also pointed me to Flower Patch Farmgirl, who “just happened” to write this amazing post about contentment that same day and it really grabbed my heart too.… Continue reading Safe
I am a terrible daughter. Yesterday was Mother’s Day, as I’m sure you all know, and I didn’t call my mom.
