It’s 7:30 am. In typical New York City fashion, there are sirens going outside. Nothing unusual. I woke up to snow blanketing the sidewalks and the streets below. It makes NYC seem softer. Less like the intimidating, eat-you-alive city that it is. My mom is visiting. We’ve been shopping, eating and enjoying our way thoughContinue reading Cherishing Time
I’m going back to Ohio tomorrow. Just for the weekend. Honestly, I’ve been counting down until this day for the last five weeks now. I just need to see my family. See how my mom is doing. For those who may be new to the blog, she had a stroke about ten months ago, andContinue reading The Price of Dreams

It’s like, I’m walking around with this neon sign that says, Tell me your secrets, my life is in shambles! Something like that.Continue reading Blood Ties
What. A. Weekend. Well, I’m currently crammed in a middle seat on an airplane. I’ve got a neck-pillow, mouth-breather on my left and a tuna sandwich-eater on my right. And despite my current state of being sensorily accosted, I’m in a sheer state of bliss. I just had one of the best weekends ever. I took a “mentalContinue reading Rear-View Mirror Christianity
I’ve got a confession to make: I’m on vacation right now. Yep, I escaped NYC and am in the mountains with my family out west. Our annual family ski trip.
