A Letter to R Squad
Dearest R Squad, I wanted to write you this note because you have been on my heart and in my prayers. Your month in Romania was filled with the unexpected and the difficult. I know the void of having your squadmates hospitalized in another city must have felt as if you had lost a limb. … Continue reading A Letter to R Squad

My New Family
I did not choose to be a World Race parent. That role was chosen for me by my daughter, or I should say more truthfully…by God. It is not unlike any parenting role. It’s just that most of the same concerns you have about your children who live close by are magnified when they are … Continue reading My New Family

September 11th
I can always feel it coming. Even before I recognize the month or day my heart knows. It is not exactly grief, more of a solemn, respectful remembrance. A heaviness like a shroud descends over my heart, which turns inward…into to the place where life is sacred and the loss of it brings an unbearable … Continue reading September 11th
Elizabeth’s Shindig
When my friend Elizabeth Taylor Goad went to the doctor for back pain May of 2012 she never dreamed she’d be planning an Ovarian Cancer Shindig for her community just a year and half later.

Being Organized is Overrated
Being organized is overrated. For years I have been beating myself up because I have drawers and boxes full of pictures of my kids that have never made it into scrapbooks. I had good intentions really I did, but I also had four kids in six years, and so scrapbooking wasn’t on the top of … Continue reading Being Organized is Overrated
