5.18.16 Several weeks ago my mouth began to have numbness accompanied by the entire right side of my body. Inside my mouth felt like I had been given a shot of Novocain. My body felt similar to the feeling one gets after an epidural is wearing off. With tingling sensations running up and down [...]
I remember the moment so well. It was so freeing! So needed. My body needed to feel myself articulate the following words. Although I was saying them to thin air, my soul heard them and thanked me, "Dear People from My Past, If I had it to do over again I would do exactly [...]
This week has been a pivotal one for me. I have quietly been pondering the turbulent conditions surrounding us. I have considered the way in which I am accustomed to responding to them. There has and will always be an activist spirit in me, one seeking justice and wanting to expose the truth and silence lies. However, this week there [...]
I’ve read many books in my lifetime and I’m sure I have many more yet to read, but the one I read this weekend is the greatest one I have or will ever read. Eighteen years ago I went in search of a Mother’s Day gift for my mother. I was nineteen years old and on a mystical search [...]

Although at thirty eight years of age, I have yet to experience one, I have often wondered if this sensation is an accurate depiction. I can be anywhere, doing anything, and [...]
"Mom, are you going to die?" I heard these words echoed from my oldest son Riley as he followed behind me and we walked into the house. I wasn't expecting to hear a statement so grounding and gripping after a day at the lake laughing and playing together. After recently being diagnosed with a [...]
In a season of self discovery, I took many ebbs and flows, the internal movements within the fibers of my own heart. Somewhere along my journey the various paths got mixed up, disjointed, and moved in directions they were never intended to flow. The rivers divided and crossed and confusion flooded my heart. I lost [...]
This past weekend was Memorial Day and everyone couldn't be more excited. It was an extra special day due to the fact my parent's recently bought a gorgeous piece of property on Lake Martin. This would be our first official holiday enjoying it together as a family. The car was loaded with everything we needed. The corn [...]
