Out Here

I’m not a religious person. But today, while out here, on my bike and on a new route, I felt the presence of grace and god and whatever words you want to give to peace, awe, gratitude, wonder and joy. This, my friends, is where my religion lives. #Route169 #ISawOneTruck #GodTalksToMeHere

Happy Mom’s Day

Dear Hank and Helen: I think we’ve got Mother’s Day all backwards. It’s me who should be celebrating you on this day…after all…I wouldn’t be a mother if it weren’t for you two. So I thought it might be cool to outline five of the amazing moments of motherhood…all of course shared in deep gratitude […]

First in the Air Force, then onto US Airways and now American Airlines. When we arrived firetrucks were waiting, with water and celebration! His […]

Mamas

This! This! This! Oh how my big ole heart is singing! It’s okay if you have no idea why I’m posting or what this is about, it’s okay. Just know it’s good. I think back to the really, REALLY scary parts of raising an extremely creative, independent-thinking-and-doing teenage boy…wondering if we’d ever literally live through […]

Over Thinking

I think overthinking gets a bad rap. As with everything, there’s a balance there. When I was a kid, it was my overthinking that saved me from the highly dysfunctional (and at times dangerous) house I grew up in. My overthinking/imagination would take me to places that were protective and safe. Sure, it can lead […]
