Okay, since I decided to tell all of you about the struggle I’ve had with my youngest sister, I thought I should also tell you how I have finally found a measure of peace.  I’ve really struggled with my feelings towards my sister and my perceptions on what I think she is thinking.  I’ve prayedContinue reading “I Found Some Peace”

I was thinking about my friends the other day and what an eclectic group of people I know.  As I was thinking this I especially thought about two of my friends that I knew in high school.  One I met in Idaho, another in California.  Each of us had very different backgrounds, and yet weContinue reading “More in Common Than You Think.”

So, I mentioned earlier that I suffer from a touch of anxiety.  I also mentioned that I was in Relief Society at church in Texas when I felt like the lesson had a part that was just for me.  It was just a blurb at the end of the lesson, but it spoke to myContinue reading “Spirit of Courage”

We had Spring Break last week and I had a wonderful time.  I was able to travel to Texas with two of my brothers, my husband, and my sister-in-law to go and see our other brother and his family.  I finally got warm!  I’m not sure what it was about the week, but I wasContinue reading “Spring Break”

I don’t know how many other women out there are like me, but I am often times pretty insecure.  I feel like I am in semi-constant fear of being judged.  All I want is to have a nice group of friends and for all of us to love each other and get along, is thatContinue reading “Judging”

I get to have an experience that will give me more empathy.  I get to experience the loss that comes with a miscarriage.  It’s not a fun experience.  Miscarriage is a very real experience for many women, though.  I’ve known of others who’ve experienced it.  I have even seen women experience, but until now IContinue reading “Mourn with those that mourn”

Once upon a time I was a writer, maybe not a good one, but a writer, nonetheless.  I wrote poems.  I wrote letters.  I wrote book reports. I wrote in a journal.  I wrote stories.  I loved writing.  Then, life changed.  The friends I was writing letters to came home.  I was no longer inContinue reading “Writing”

The best words to describe the last two years is that they have been learning experiences.  I can’t say that all of those experiences have been very enjoyable, but we sure have learned a lot from them.  This year some of that is going to change, I just know it.  We have a lot ofContinue reading “2012 is Our Year”

I read a blog the other day where the author asked what fictional character you felt like you resembled, or that you could associate yourself with.  Well, I have a list of character that I wish I was more like, but I could not think of one, or even 2 that I felt I couldContinue reading “Who do I resemble?”

I have the winter blahs.  Not to be confused with the winter blues.  No, I am just really cold all the time.  It seems that very little of what I do seems to work to get me warm.  I will take a warm bath, but as soon as I get out, I’m cold again.  IContinue reading “The Blahs……”
