This week, I took a leap of faith that paid off. Not a payout in terms of money, new job, or anything of any monetary value. This leap paid off in terms of feeling accomplished and that I made someone, very important to me, very happy. Some were […]
Everyday I look at a baby picture or two of my son. Then, I proceed to send him a few so he can reminisce with me. However, he is not so inclined. Regardless, I continue to send him said photos. It gives me great pleasure to look at […]
Anyone who knows me not even well, knows my son is everything. I’m enormously proud of him. And, often I’m in awe of him. It was a very hard pregnancy. A quick labor. And, a parenting delight. Well, he has now entered his teenage years. This, we’ll see […]
Mother’s day is a day of mixed emotions for me. I have the most wonderful son. I’m proud to be his mother. But, I also lost my mom a decade ago and it never stops hurting. I’d love to shop for a gift for her. I’d love to […]
Easter brings, springs up, fond memories. I don’t recall a rainy Easter day. Although my birthday, which is coming up shortly, is almost always rainy. Easter egg hunts were a delightful time in which my son just ran and ran giggling while he picked up stuff from the […]

Many years ago I was called in to see my son’s teacher. This was pre-k. What could the teacher want to talk to me about? Turns out my son didn’t (and still doesn’t) like cupcakes. But he felt some obligation to be polite. His four year old brain […]
My son has some very interesting opinions. He is a bit stubborn as well. He gets that from me. Thus, I can’t readily complain about that characteristic. He is also quite warm and funny with some good comedic timing. He’s all that and more. As he is now […]
This past year, or I suppose last year, I had a moment where I kept expecting my mom to call me. It, of course, couldn’t happen since my mother has been gone for a while. It was an extremely odd feeling to wait for her call. I so […]
