Thursday, May 31st, 2007For those of you who’ve been reading my blog the past few days, you know that I’ve been struggling in a place that I don’t feel quite comfortable, a place I’m trying to make sense of. The wonderful readers of my blog gave me some wonderful encouragement and advice, and I’d like to share [...]
Unsettledness
Wednesday, May 30th, 2007School’s out. I’ve got about 10 weeks off. Vacation! You’d think? Rest? Probably not.
Yes, I’m a bit unsettled.
I’m not quite comfortable with where I am right now. I’m about to be a stay-at-home mom for the summer. How in the world do women who do it full-time, all [...]
Are You Unsettled?

“People wish to be settled: only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them.”

How Unique Are You?
Tuesday, May 15th, 2007Back in the 80s and 90s when I worked in corporate America, I loved to wear beautiful suits. It was always my intent to purchase suits that I didn’t think I’d see on anyone else at any particular time (living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin). It’s not that I had goo-gobs of money to spend on one-of-a-kinds; [...]
It’s a Bittersweet Mother’s Day
Sunday, May 13th, 2007Today is the first Mother’s Day I will not be celebrating with my Mommy. She passed away last July 26th of cancer at 77. I miss her so much.
Since my mom passed, what most often entered my mind about her is her final days. I frequently think about the pain she endured [...]
It’s Not the Devil People!
Saturday, May 12th, 2007I know the topic I’m about to broach is sensitive. For Christians, at least. And for others, it may be mildly amusing. Yet, it’s something that has bothered me for a few years now, and it really just sort of came to a head this evening (I started this post Thursday evening, [...]

What Are We Teaching Our Children?
Sunday, May 6th, 2007My daughter will be 3 years old on May 20th. I am so excited! I see her personality developing each day, her sense of independence, her vocabulary – it’s so incredibly amazing!
My husband and I try to teach our daughter how to make good choices. Even though she is (and will be) [...]
Friday Favorites – Week Ending May 4, 2007
Friday, May 4th, 2007I’d like to say Friday Favorites is back with a bang. It’s back, but not with a bang.
I love doing this post, because it gives me an opportunity to highlight some really great posts that I’ve discovered as I’ve perused my MyBlogLog community, my own blogroll, or other sites that I’ve discovered in my [...]
In the Beginning…
Thursday, May 3rd, 2007I see her often. A little girl. She’s about four years old. She is wearing a powder blue dress. She is walking in the house with her back toward the wall, sliding against it ever so slowly, like there’s something amiss. Like she’s trying to hide something. And [...]
