Note: if you're reading this you probably know we've suffered a pregnancy loss. As part of my healing process, this is a letter to our September baby. Dear Sweet September Baby,I miss you already. I'm so sorry we never got to meet, but I will carry you in my heart always. I don't understand why, and [...]

Or, what's going on with my body? I have no idea what's going on. I don't know what to do based on any of it. I'm mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted, and I crave clarity. One of three things is going on:1. My period is coming, but really taking it's time. Would be a little disappointing, but [...]

Beautiful, sweet, funny, smart, imaginative, sensitive, tenderhearted Lexi,Right now there is a lot of thought, question, concern and confusion about when you will have a sibling, and while that does take up space in my mind and my heart, not for a moment does it erase,  replace, or detract from who and what you are [...]

"O Lord, You are the God of the early mornings, the God of the late nights, the God of the mountain peaks, and the God of the sea. But, my God, my soul has horizons further away than those of early mornings, deeper darkness than the nights of earth, higher peaks than any mountain peaks, [...]

It's a new year, and these are a few less than grand changes is like to make part of my life:-regular devotional time-starting my workouts earlier (730?)-restarting my yoga practice (2+ days a week) -bible story time with Lexi over breakfast-taking time to make myself feel pretty daily. (Makeup, hair, skincare)

So, I've been expecting/dreading a plateau in my weight loss for awhile, because I've never had this kind of consistent weight loss in my life. This past week was the first week in the past 3 months that I've weighed in exactly the same, so I'm a bit bummed. I fear it's upon me-the time [...]

I'm a little bit of a walking contradiction these days. I'm so happy with my life and my family-yet I'm broken inside. I'm lonely and sad that few pursue friendship with me, yet I'm pulling away and the thought of someone coming after me fills me with dread. I know I'm isolating myself, and frankly it's [...]
