Parents, Protect Your Children!

I remember what it was like before I became a parent when I heard tragic news about a child.  I’d get sad, maybe a little angry, but the feelings would soon disappear.  Generally, those stories didn’t have long-term effects on me.
Since I had my daughter, every story of child abuse and exploitation I hear makes [...]

That Wild Woman! Well…

In last week’s “Women Who Run With The Wolves” post, I indicated we were going to be studying Chapter 2 - Stalking the Intruder: The Beginning Initiation. In this chapter, Dr. Estes tells the story of “Bluebeard,” the antagonist born within us that:
“severs the woman from her intuitive nature…leav[ing] the woman deadened in [...]

Tag! I’m It! a.k.a. Why Do I Blog?

The title of this post sounds like I’m about to play a childhood game, huh?  Actually, Jose over at Tried It Myself! was tagged and he tagged me, so here I am, participating in the “Five Reasons Why I Blog” meme.
Jose calls himself an “accidental blogger.”  That’s a good way to describe how I arrived here [...]

Five Favorites For Friday - Week Ending Feb. 23, 2007

Time flies when you’re having fun!  It seems that it was just yesterday that I posted last week’s Five Favorites For Friday, and yet, another week is just about done.  I discovered some posts this week that generally covered the areas of personal growth and development, but I stumbled upon a very funny post as well.  In no [...]

God Did That! More Lessons From My Daughter

As we were driving home a couple of days ago, my 2.75 year old daughter made a wonderful observation.  Here’s how the conversation went:
A.:  God did that!
Mommy:  God did what?
A.:  God painted the sky.
Mommy:  God painted the sky?
A.:  God painted the sky blue!  I’m gonna call God!
My daughter then opened her cellphone (it is an [...]

Why Do We Pound Them Into The Ground?

As a high school teacher of Biblical studies, I try to provide an environment where my students can discuss any topic and know they are in a safe environment to do so.  Today, though, for a time, my students wanted to rag on teachers they’ve had in the past.  As I listened for a few moments, I [...]

So Much For Consistency

I stated in my post yesterday that my daughter was becoming more consistent in asking to use the potty.  Yesterday after we arrived home, my husband was playing with her, bouncing her on his leg.  After a minute or so, he felt a warm sensation through her pull-up on his thigh and said,
“Did you just pee on your daddy?”
She smiled at [...]

I Like Myself!

This past Sunday morning as my daughter was finishing breakfast, she said, “I gotta go to the potty.”  Success!  She asked to go to the potty!  I would so love to say that this is a regular occurrence.  It’s not quite regular; nevertheless, the request is becoming more common.  We’re making progress!
Yet, it’s not that she [...]

Women Who Run With The Wolves - Chapter 1 (Part 2)

Running Toward The Wild Woman - Pt. 2
We are continuing our quest of discovering who we truly are as women as we study Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D. So far, our work has been preliminary, just trying to lay the groundwork for an intense work of the soul. [...]
