Spring has sprung, it seems. We are slowly crawling our way out of our Covid caves of isolation. Is it just me or do our interactions with each other just seem awkward? To deny that we are all changed and still being changed by this trauma we have experienced would be dishonest. However, I do […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me (March 2021)
You may (or more likely may not) recall a post I wrote a little before Easter last year about Shabbat which is the Jewish word for Sabbath. (If you don’t recall, you can certainly find it HERE and might be worth another read especially if you enjoy the art of looking back like I do.) […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me (February 2021)
Well hello, snow. Welcome to February in MD! It is quite a privilege to sit in the director’s chair of this ministry. It is experiences like I have had this week that confirm the vision and affirm all the efforts that we have put toward Pinked over the years. In June of 2019, I received […]
First Monday of the New Year…Are You Kitting Me? (January 2021)
When I think about my word for 2021, the pessimism and fatigue in me would choose “survive”. Or perhaps “adapt” since we never know what the next day is going to throw at us. As we continue to very much be in the midst of the scariness of the pandemic and feeling isolated, even the […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (TGI…Almost 2021 Edition)
The Advent season is a time like none other! Even more fortunate for me, it comes on the heels of pink October’s and the awesome time of thankful reflection that is November. As I sit in the midst of 2020’s Advent season preparing my heart, I am looking back on a whole lot of hard. […]
First Monday…Are you Kitting Me? (November Thankfulness)
It is always hard to flip the calendar to November. I do find that October brings me incredible energy and purpose. We are confident that the victories that we experience in October are out of our hands. That is why we knew that in facing this very different October, we could trust that the support for this ministry would be ever-present. Instead […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me (October is Here Edition!
October 2020 is here! And that means…we are one month closer to saying goodbye to this unforgettable year. It also means we get to take some time to celebrate the Pink Warriors who power through their illness so bravely. Global pandemic or not, you can’t mask a warrior’s courage. We all know this an October […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (September Edition)
September often feels like a new year. Kids are going back to school, summer comes to an end and work schedules become more regulated. September 2020 seems to be the beginning of our “new normal”. In the spring we found COVID-19 scary, confusing and thought to be short-term; in the summer we tolerated restrictions on […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (August Edition)
This past week we celebrated nine years since diagnosis day. For fun I looked back at my photo/video library from the days surrounding those initial days of diagnosis. I posted a video on our social media from that day July 29, 2011 sitting at the dinner table watching our littles (then 3 y.o. and 18 […]

First Monday…Are you Kitting me? (July Edition)
Now that the very different school year ended, we have moved into a very different kind of summer. Vacations are canceled, jobs are lost, people are hurting, and many are still cautious. With all that is going on, if we aren’t careful with our thoughts, they are likely to take us into a scary downward […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me (Summer is Here! Edition)
“When we show up with compassion for others, our own disappointments won’t ring as hollow or sting with sorrow nearly as much.” -Lysa Terkeurst, IT’S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WAY Over the last few weeks I have been participating in a Zoom Bible study with the ladies of my home church. We are discussing […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (COVID-19 edition #2)
May Day Has Come, Now it’s the First May Monday! May Day means creative basket arrangements of flowers in my beloved hometown of Annapolis, MD. May Day means Lei Day in my husband’s hometown in Hawaii. Flowers in any form are enough to bring some joy to this quarantine season. This is also about the time that I start […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (COVID-19 edition)
It’s Spring! And Easter is A’Comin! Is it just me or does it feel like a lot longer than a month since the last First Monday email? This First Monday also marks our fourth week into this Coronavirus quarantine/social distancing season. It is our new reality, people say. In some ways, I hope it is so. Although […]
