I have it all worked out. My plan is flawless. Lord, all that needs to happen is this… Absurd, right? And yet how many times have I effectively thought that, despite what I was willing to admit out loud? How many times have I assessed a situation; a problem, or a desired outcome, and instead […]

Correction without harshness
I don’t know if it’s wisdom that comes with age or if no longer being in the harried season of babies and toddlers simply enables me to be more observant, but I have become increasingly aware of the way I speak – particularly to my children – and it’s not good. Part of my new awareness, […]
Maintaining momentum
Is it just me, or does anyone else have trouble maintaining momentum? I often feel like I’m a living experiment for Newton’s first law of motion: An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed […]

Someday afternoon naps won’t be interrupted, and personal reading time will not become 20-questions time. Someday meals will always […]
Where should my confidence come from?

Vegan “Quesa”dilla
Saturday is a great day to experiment in the kitchen. For you non-dairy folks, here is another great recipe. We made this last week and it was DELICIOUS!!! Caramelized Onion & Pepper Quesadillas
Hello. My name is Melissa. And I’m a Me-aholic
For most of my life I have lived in denial. As a kid the word “selfish” was tossed my way a time or two. The way it was said made it clear such was not a praise of encouragement but an accusation and indictment; so while knowing it was true, I denied it vehemently and […]
