Beach Lovers (like me) … it’s June! The college kids have been home for weeks, the amazing grads have all been thoroughly celebrated, and the private school crowd has joined the summer fun. Meanwhile, our poor public school kids are still trudging through — but hang in there, you’re so close! Just one more day, and then you, too, can sleep […]

First Monday….Are You Kitting Me (Labor Day 2024)
The kids are back in school, I am another year older, and the last big weekend of summer is ushering us into the rush of fall. I pray that you have been able to enjoy some really good moments of rest during this summer of 2024. As I mentioned our family’s summer was packed with a lot of […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (April 2024)
Happy April! When I think back over this Easter weekend, refreshment is what I am feeling. It was so sweet to be with my family enjoying the warmth and glimpses of the sun as we celebrated our Risen Jesus, the HOPE of the world. Last weekend, we got to attend our 5th Bosom Buddies Charities Ball. It is always such […]
First Wednesday of February…Are you Kitting Me?
“Awake” is my word for 2024. I heard a great recommendation in a podcast shortly after the first of the year that instead of settling in on goals for change in the first week of January that I should take all of January to contemplate what I want for the year ahead. And so I […]
First Monday of 2023…Are you Kitting Me?
A Holiday Message from Pinked Perspective When it was time to write a message for our family Christmas card this year, I recalled how Philippians 4 had been speaking the truth that my weary soul was so deperately in need of. We all longed for another fresh start in 2022, only to be met with more loss, heartache and struggle. […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me (April 2022)
Happy April! We are looking forward to Passion Week next week. Not sure about anyone else but March was an absolute blur. It was exciting in that March 10th marked my last day of taking hormone therapy, Tamoxifen after being on it for ten years. It is definitely a milestone on my journey. It hasn’t felt […]
Sisters: A Tribute to Warrior Gail
“Weeping may last through the night but Joy comes with the Morning.” Psalm 30:5b I am the youngest of three siblings and the only daughter to two of the most faithful parents anyone could possibly ask for. So I didn’t grow up knowing what it was like to have a sister. However, I did have […]
First Monday of 2022…Are You Kitting Me?
As I reflected in order to write a message for our family Christmas card this year, I recalled that familiarity between the days of living through breast cancer treatment 10 years ago and the days of deep quarantine of 2020 which reminded us that there is much value in “Slow and Rest”. Then with a flip […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (Labor Day 2021 Edition)
I arrived back home to the states from my extended stay in Aruba on August 4th. Although there was much disappointment around missing out on a special 10 year anniversary dinner with my toes in the sand and a snorkel cruise in that amazing blue water on our last two scheduled days, I am able […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (10 Year Anniversary)
This past Thursday, July 29th marked the day ten years ago when we sat in the breast center of our local hospital receiving the confirming news of my breast cancer diagnosis. They say surviving breast cancer ten years later is significant. I think “they” must be right, so as the day approached, I was intent […]
First Monday… Are You Kitting Me? (Summer of Celebration 2021)
Hope everyone had a wonderful July 4th and is still celebrating…Since celebrating should hardly be done solo, I decided to ask my friend Jen about her thoughts on the “Summer of Celebration”. She whipped up the following and left me speechless. I couldn’t help but share with all of you. How blessed to be loved […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (June 2021)
Summer is upon us. In fact, it is pretty heavy upon us in these parts. I have been thinking a lot about what I want the rhythm of this summer to be. Then I want my decisions about our summer schedule to help settle us into that rhythm. July 29th which is about halfway through […]
