The above photo was an accident and I simply love it. So many of life’s jewels are revealed through mess ups. What can you transform into a life lesson?
Sometimes the foreground of our family life can appear pretty and put together; while the background is dark. What’s in the background of your [...]

I saw the surgeon again this past week. What can I say? I don’t like seeing him! The first time I met him he poked me 4 times with a spring-loaded needle and I bled all over the place. The second time wasn’t as messy, but almost just as painful.

Today is Friday which means that it is…

Right before I found out the tumor is benign I wrote in my journal, “You know this unknown (the biopsy results) really isn’t all that different from any other unknown. We live with things we can’t know and control all the time. So why not live happily with this unknown too?”
