A little over 11 years ago, I was on a day-long ferry trip from one Greek island to another. Ferry rides tend to be hit and miss for me. But that day was a good one despite having the beginnings of morning sickness. A state of being that […]
I’m both a planner and a spontaneous person. I both a why and a how person. But that’s not at all what this is about. I started right off the bat with a digression. Well, no. Not really. As a spontaneous person, I do often wonder why I […]
It’s hard to believe. That time of the year has come back around. It is my baby’s birthday. He’s not a baby, really. But that is besides the point. Eleven years ago, he came into the world wide-eyed. I will never forget that face and those eyes. I […]
