Confidence

June 7, 2011

You know what can crush your confidence? A six-year-old’s honest appraisal. And that is why my daughter is no longer allowed to watch me get ready in the mornings. Sweet Pea: What are you doing? Me: Putting on my make-up. This is called foundation. Sweet Pea: Oh, I saw that on TV. It’s that stuff [...]

The Path Before Me

June 2, 2011

I once found much of my identity in my job. My confidence flourished in my wardrobe of power suits and pumps. Frequent flyer miles and expense accounts were my friends. And then we heard those words: “I see three heartbeats! You’re having triplets!” Spit-up and crusty things became my new accessories. Power suits were traded [...]

Gee Thanks, Kids

May 16, 2011

So I had been ever-so-slightly bummed about turning 40 last week. I’d referred to it as my “next 39th birthday” until it was pointed out (by my son who obviously never wants another gift as long as he lives) that I was fooling no one. And the thing is? 40 doesn’t feel so bad now [...]

Gosh, It’s Quiet Here

May 12, 2011

I’m rarely at a loss for words. I’ve found myself coming here to blog several times in the last couple of weeks only to be met with a blank page and frozen fingers. My mind is full. It’s not that. It’s just that the things bouncing around in my head are too complex for me [...]

Osama Bin Laden is Dead

May 1, 2011

I am imperfect.  I am flawed. I desire to be like Christ yet my humanity is repeatedly triumphant. None of these things should surprise anyone. Which brings me to a confession. I’m glad Bin Laden is dead. Glad. Not sad. And while I, too, cringe slightly at the sight of those cheering masses of people [...]
