Missing my pup
Dear Dakota: April 13, 2019, a little after 5:00 in the evening we laid you, our dear Dakota to rest. For 15 years you were by my side. You were a comfort in the worst storm of my life and afterwards to help me heal. You were also there at the happiest day of my life....
Mommy-son connection
Sometimes the connection with our children comes easy and sometimes there is a journey that involves a bigger climb. With perseverance, and patience you can get there. It’s ok to go through what you are going through… just keep moving forward.
Mom has feelings too

Release, Expand, Grow… repeat
Growth is an upward spiral. As one of my good friends and life coach explained, perfection is an invitation to fail because it's not truly attainable. Continuous growth and improvement; always striving to be better than you were the day before; true mastery ... IS...
Yards of Love
Yards of linen blue fading to white in the most beautiful texture that once wrapped my little boy and brought me into a new place of being ok with him and him ok with me…
I shipped it off today and I am finally ok
Milestones for the Littles
With each passing year, the littles grow bigger and continue to reach different milestones. It seems time is slipping by faster and faster even though we do our best to “stop and smell the roses”. My little guy just started preschool today and my daughter started Kindergarten last week.
Reflecting…
Laying here with my handsome pup, Dakota. He may be 14 but he will always be my puppy. His love for me and mine for him is immeasurable. He’s been through a great many of life’s twists and turns. Through it all he’s been a shining star. He’s getting older now and not...
