Tribal Unity
So–the subject of family (or, for the purpose of this post–the experience of living tribes) has occupied my thoughts lately. Each of us is born into some type of family, though not all will reside with mother and father and siblings through childhood. Then, whatever our home life experience, we have opportunities to build a [...]
Back to School Brunch
For the last two years, several friends of mine (who I would lovingly call my “sisters”) have joined me for a back to school tradition–Back to School Brunch. Many of them bring a breakfast or brunch food to share, and we all enjoy talking about our mornings taking our kiddos to school. We offer support [...]
The Gift of Friendship
I have a friend who has been in the hospital for more than a month. We met a few months ago and have become friends quickly. Several days a week, I travel to the hospital to visit. I’m not consistent about the time of day, so I have met many nurses who have cared for [...]
A brand new adventure!
I’m beginning to do a whole bunch of things that I have never done before. Venturing into unfamiliar territory can be a little scary and overwhelming…not to mention frustrating when things don’t go according to plan. Upon discussing my lack of experience in a certain area of grownup-hood with an individual much more knowledgeable than [...]
Questions???
Mormor was unable to write her blog Friday, so she is our guest blogger today. Last week, my husband and I stopped for breakfast at Cracker Barrel. On the way out, I saw a t-shirt that said “Chocolate is the answer, it doesn’t matter what the question is!” This caught my attention because I am [...]
Gifts of Love
We have a friend who said that our family is experiencing the hardest time in our lives. I know others who have as great challenges as we have and some who are experiencing greater challenges right now. We reached the point, long ago, when I thought we had all that we could bear. Still things [...]
Smile!
Stephanie, our guest blogger today, is always ready to share her kind thoughts with those around her. She is a devoted mother and woman of great faith. She recently took up working with stained glass, and her quiet kindnesses speak volumes of her character. Enjoy! It is the little things in life that help us [...]
That’s What Friends Are For
There is a song that says “that’s what friends are for” and I have been thinking a lot lately about the importance of friends in our lives. We have social networks like Facebook (by the way the mpowergen.com has 200-fans Hurray!) to help keep us connected and to open the door to re-connecting with friends [...]
You Are My Heroes
Oh well… (I borrowed this phrase from a very dear friend of mine), I am posting my blog contribution a day late again. Our family has been under siege, as of late, and I promise, promise, promise that after we get through this, things will get better (this phrase is for my sister) and I [...]
Amazing Things
This week has been one of the most difficult weeks of my life. I made a major decision, and by acting on it, made a major change. Some of the ramifications of that decision have been extremely difficult to deal with. And what I have discovered through all of this is that I have an [...]
