A woman on a mission to support other women in finding their purpose in the many seasons of life: Marriage, motherhood, career, health, and the pursuit of being the best version of themselves.
It has been about 1 year since my last writing. I’ve been quiet, waiting, listening, fighting, attempting to string together coherent words of feelings I have discovered I do not fully understand. This season is hard. Perhaps one of, if not, the hardest I have walked, stumbled, and crawled through. This is a season of …
As the wife of a coach in a small town where we are from it felt wonderful to be celebrated upon return to our Alma Mater a couple years ago. Open arms welcomed us back home where he took his dream job coaching kids he loved and felt a connection with. It seemed like the …
It seems lately life has just continued to shift. It’s like when you are standing at the beach right at the edge where the water reaches before it begins to recede. First the sand is slightly firm and steady, then before you know it the sand is wet with refreshing water, next is begins to …
Conversations are the regular between my husband and I. If I could tell anyone in a relationship one thing that has helped unfathomably it would be this… Have conversations. Have conversations about everything. Surface level, deep and thought-provoking, silly and menial, difficult and painful, fun and lighthearted, honest and hard. Have them and have them …
So I turned 35 a couple days ago. It seems like a milestone birthday. It seems much different than 34. I am not sure why but perhaps it’s just one of those ages that the world has impressed on me that those women at that age should have it all “figured out.” I don’t know …
Tomorrow Caden will have his 4th first day of 2nd grade. Yes 4th. There was the normal first day of 2nd grade on Aug 27th. Then 9.5 days later school was cancelled for over a month after Hurricane Florence. The 2nd first day of 2nd grade happened on Oct 8th. Then in mid-January, with the …
While visiting my in-laws church someone on the way in asked how I was doing and if my nerves were shot. I laughed and responded that the abnormal is the new normal for me. After I said it my mind wandered to the things that were abnormal for me right now… living out of bags …
Today I missed my mom. For the first time since moving, or should I say leaving the farm to wait in limbo between Alabama, North, and South Carolina at the mercy of all thing’s paperwork, I felt a sting. We went shopping today at a thrift store on the hunt for tea party items for …
My husband and I recently made a big decision. When I say big I mean life changing and far outside of the original plan. Yeah that plan again… my plan, our plan. We decided that we are being led to move to another state for a job opportunity that will provide not only financial improvements …
Welcome to the “in between.” This is a unique time of year, the last day of 2018.
I find this “in between” time hard. I know that we often find ourselves in between something throughout the year but today it seems we are all “in between” together.
In between last year’s heartache, joy, and memories and the next year’s hope, goals, and plans.
In between last year’s missed opportunities, accomplishments, and regrets, and the next year’s new beginnings, promises, and wishes.
