I recall from my school days that I absolutely loathed having to write papers. I would prefer an exam over an essay any day. That was until I felt I had something worth writing about. It all started as a means to keep loved ones informed about test results and decisions regarding treatment through the […]
Day 2: There is no guarantee in tomorrow.
Prior to July 26th of last year, we were experiencing a season of comfort. Our jobs were stable, we had two healthy babies, and we were settling into our (relatively) new home. We were without any major worries. Then with a quiver in her voice, the radiologist spoke the words, “You have 3 nodules in […]
Day 1: We All Need Community
A spontaneous prayer meeting. Frequent text messages with encouraging scripture. A meal schedule that was filled for 6 months straight. A pink basket overflowing with handwritten cards. A replaced air conditioning compressor. Handmade blankets and quilts to keep me comfortable. A Hat and Scarf Party. House cleaning. Back rubs that helped alleviate intense nausea. A […]
31 Days Life Lessons
This whole blogging thing is so new to me that it often overwhelms me. Thank goodness for some friends who do it really well. One of those friends puts out a challenge to write on a topic every day for the month of October. Would I really have something worthwhile to say every day for […]
My Bright Beauty Turns 3!
It hardly seems possible that it has been three years since we welcomed our baby girl, Kalea Mei into this world. We have many reasons why we chose not to know the sex of both of our babies ahead of time. But if I am truly honest with myself and others, I knew that I […]
My 35th Birthday
All I wanted was to spend my birthday at the beach. After all it is my happy place and birthdays are meant to be happy, right? I enjoyed a grueling workout in the wee hours with Blake so I could go out to indulge in my favorite meal of the day with Blake and the […]
The Dreaded Grocery Run
There are two aspects of parenting that I absolutely despise: potty training and grocery shopping with my kids. Perhaps it is because the two things completely overwhelm me. Unfortunately, neither of my children have been those so-called kids that train themselves. They are actually the kind that require that hardcore commitment as a mom to […]
Signing Off (of CaringBridge)
It has been a week of remembrance. By this day one year ago I was on my third appointment at the breast center in a week, that is about as many times as I had been to a doctor in the year before. The dark clouds had moved in on Tuesday morning when I went […]
A Year Later
“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.” Psalm 143:8 “As you look to me, I show you what to do now and next.” from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young […]
A Long-Awaited Vacation
If there were ever a need for a pause button, it was while on our first family vacation since treatment for breast cancer. With the exception of last year’s trip, which was cancelled because of my treatment, we have vacationed in Carolina Beach, NC for the last eight summers with my best friend (since we […]
