I don’t love rising with the sun, I am not a morning person.
But then a sunrise like this one makes me think I could be.
Creation is all aglow under God’s ethereal yellow face.
And I am awake, I am a witness.
A dear friend inspired me to count my blessings every time 11:11 passed. I glanced at my phone today and caught the time. Four ones in a row as the late morning sun summited the clouds.
A somewhat shy morsel of gratitude arrived at the forefront of my thoughts.
I am grateful to [...]
Emile is seven today. Seven! A lucky number. A lucky boy. A lucky family.
It seems like every moment of every day I am praying to become a better parent. More than anything in my life, I want to do right by my [...]
If we waited for the rain to slow, we’d miss out on a lot. And if we waited for the sun to shine, we’d miss out on even more. Staying inside only feeds the grudge against the flatness of the gray sky. I’ve found there’s no better [...]

It started with saying no. I decided to skip my planned [...]
There’s so much about this photo that explains Giovanna that I had to share it. The flower girl dress, the snow boots and the nursing baby doll. And perhaps the mirror, too. It’s impossible to be bored with this girl at my side.

Friday, December 14, 2012, a day of heartbreak for everyone, also happened to be a milestone day for me. I took off on my first trip away from my daughter, who will be three next month. I went to Los Angeles, a 2.5 hour flight south. I went because my husband was working down there [...]
We stepped out of our cozy home this morning and into a mass of gray clouds, a day peaceful in its muted brightness. Nothing unusual for the Pacific Northwest.
Giovanna said, immediately, “it’s so sunny outside, mama!”
This was not a form of two year old sarcasm, this was sincere delight in the light [...]
