As my husband might say, “I have a case of the fall-a-parts”. Things have been breaking loose, you know... a summer of being undone. The last couple months have been full of things I've never experienced before... - cancelled a very important trip for an emergency tooth extraction - lost all my credit cards and didn't …

Showing Up… for 43 years
Forty-three years ago today, I put on the dress my mother made and went to church. I hoped you would be there. Well, actually, I knew you would be... it was just a matter of when. Because of, you know... that little time management thingy you've got going on 🙂 But you were not only there... you …
