Happy Friday to you all! This past week has looked quite different than normal. Charley has been in Knoxville with grandparents all week! She is coming home today and I cannot wait to get her back in my arms. I miss kissing her neck and smelling her hair. I miss sitting with her while she [...]

A small shift, a lighter load and a bigger impact
. If you don’t like how things are, change it. You’re not a tree. -Jim Rohn. It’s late and I am exhausted. My husband is sleeping soundly next to me and I am eager to join him. But, I want to write a little something before heading off to Dreamland. Writing always seems to help [...]
Published on iVillage and a few other things.
If you’ve never heard of iVillage before it is a website owned by NBCUniversal. It targets women and focuses on food, health and beauty, parenting, entertainment and more. A few weeks ago I was contacted by iVillage seeking permission to use one of my photos they found via Pinterest (oh how Pinterest is changing our world!). [...]

shiny & new blog does not keep me from rambling.
Hello. It’s my first post on my brand new blog. It feels weird writing over here. All the buttons and settings are new and I’m never quite sure what I’m doing or if some button is going to blow-up the world. Nonetheless, here I am. Here you are. Welcome to the new blog. Isn’t she [...]
503 |online| Workshops are legit.
This past Wednesday marked the unofficial, last day of 503′s first workshop (I say unofficial because my students have a lifetime membership to my brain).
