Success

January 20, 2018January 20, 2018 / michellegunnin / 3 Comments

What is your measure of success?  Is it, what kind of car you drive?  Or if you have a nice house?  Is it, if you have a degree or two?  Is it, how much money you make or that you are raising great kids?  Is it, that you give back and serve others?  Or that … Continue reading Success

Miracles (Part 3)

September 6, 2017 / michellegunnin / 6 Comments

I am a skeptic. I was raised in America where skepticism is clothed in the intellectual pursuit of knowledge.  The traditional church doesn’t seek out miracles due to the belief that they were only needed when the church was being formed and the Bible was being written.  The non-traditional church believes that healing happens every … Continue reading Miracles (Part 3)

How Do You Prepare for a PVT?

March 26, 2017March 26, 2017 / michellegunnin / 4 Comments

“Mom, you are going to have to prepare yourself.  Time isn’t the same in other countries.  You have to take off your American-time-consciousness and your need for control of your schedule in order to just go with it.” No truer words have ever been spoken.  You see, my daughter knows me. She knows I like … Continue reading How Do You Prepare for a PVT?

I Wasn’t Invited

September 26, 2016July 18, 2021 / michellegunnin / Leave a comment

To the parents of World Racers who weren’t invited: There are host of reasons for not being invited to PVT.  The thought processes for these things are as varied as the stars in the sky, and just as individual.  Racers sometimes think we can’t afford to go, so they don’t invite us.  Some of them … Continue reading I Wasn’t Invited

You Might be a Parent going on a PVT if…

February 6, 2016February 6, 2016 / michellegunnin / 6 Comments

You might be a parent preparing for a ParentVisionTrip if: The knots in your stomach have turned to butterflies. You have a long, long list of items to bring, from your racer and the team. You wonder how you can fit said list AND your own stuff into one carry on. You consider wearing the … Continue reading You Might be a Parent going on a PVT if…

Hide and Seek

January 10, 2016 / michellegunnin / Leave a comment

Around the corner. Just ahead. A rustling in my spirit draws me like a note in a song. It pulls my heart forward. I catch a glimpse.   A shadow. A dancing light. My heart turns towards it. My eyes strain to see but there is nothing. Maybe the in the next curve it will reveal … Continue reading Hide and Seek

Lift Your Eyes

January 1, 2016January 1, 2016 / michellegunnin / Leave a comment

The sun is out, and after weeks of rain, it is a pleasant feeling to look out into the upcoming year with a bit of sunshine lighting things up. It had seemed dark and dreary for so long with the news and weather cooperating, conspiring even, to bring hopelessness and darkness to everything around me … Continue reading Lift Your Eyes

Dearest Y Squad

November 6, 2015 / michellegunnin / 8 Comments

Dearest Y Squad, Your blogs have done it…are doing it. Your pictures too. They are breaking up the hard ground inside of us. Reshaping the way I see the world…the way we all see it. Showing us pain. Displaying vulnerability. Painted pictures of love and of life. Life that is inexplicably hard and the compassion … Continue reading Dearest Y Squad

Dearest P Squad

May 17, 2015 / michellegunnin / 5 Comments

I have spent the last few nights, up late reading your blogs about the earthquake and subsequent days. Wow. No words can describe the history you have been a part of in that country. I cannot even comprehend the myriad of feelings you must have felt and continue to feel. I would think sorting it … Continue reading Dearest P Squad

Once a WR Parent…

May 13, 2015May 13, 2015 / michellegunnin / 13 Comments

I began this blog after the first earthquake in Nepal and couldn’t quite get it finished…until today after the second one. Once a World Race parent, always a World Race parent…at least that is how it seems to me. My daughter has been home for a year and so you would think that my time … Continue reading Once a WR Parent…
