One Generation To The Next
This post will probably be shorter, since I’m on my phone and don’t have my keyboard and tend to say slightly less when that happens. But this was something I started to write for somewhere else and decided it would be better suited here. My grandma passed away earlier tonight. The above picture was in…

Finishing Well
Today I did something I really never thought I’d do: I “retired” from running. What does that mean?

Sitting, Wishing, Waiting
It’s amazing what happens when I don’t blog for almost a whole week. It’s like a whole week of life happens. Last weekend, my friend Rachel sold her books at SantaCaliGon Days in Independence, Missouri, and I volunteered to be the main helper. It was one of the worst weekends to sell books weather-wise, but…

The Trouble With Journaling
A lot of things have happened over the last week to cause me to feel like “now is a good time to write.” And then I came home from my Chicago trip and it felt like the world was falling down around me. I’d like to say I’m okay with a certain amount of stress,…
