I know I know
some of my entries here and elsewhere have become preachy lately. I don't expect to push a specific faith on you only to share my own journey. I recognize the legitimacy of all beliefs and that's why I really try to make it so my on faith is less prominent than the belief in some form of divine. I hold no ill or force to anyone who doesn't share ( Read more... ) -
ON FAITH during the easter season
Worship, Prayer to the divine, Belief in that which is beyond ourselves and loving the fact that we DON'T have to be in CONTROL because something greater has us held in it's arms (or whatever loving caring action it can figuratively do) It's a hard concept for humans to deal with, some can't and choose to not have belief in anything outside of ( Read more... ) -
Oof
This week has been QUITE the week. Highs, Low, yea. Noah needs his eyes checked on top of having so much difficulty breathing. My poor kiddo! This coming weekend Mike and Wes are going to be going to his mom's house, it always feels so empty here when they are gone. Just me and the cat alone with my thoughts isn't exactly the ideal way for me ( Read more... ) -
Spirituality
It should come as no shock to me that my absolute favorite all time musician could explain perfectly the place I am in my spirituality. Listen to how she explains the song then listen to the song. It's intense.
The musician herself is amazing A lesbian who sings about a journey of a life both the spiritual and mundane.

Noah and the next couple months
Oof! So Noah has severe out of control asthma. He couldn't breathe in his class room or walk down the hall without an attack this week. He's been on 2 full breathing treatments (nebulizer) a day. It hasn't helped. Today he went to the doctor with my mom and they came out with many many issues. My older boy has 60% lung ability of someone his ( Read more... ) -
Valentines day through different eyes
Today is Valentines day. A day for lovers. Growing up I always watch Gramps tease grams with silly things and smile at her then kiss her and say love ye baby, she was his in every way and they both rejoiced in it. For 68 valentines days I imagine the ritual was similar, though not the same every year. Always such a cute day. Such a cute love ( Read more... ) -

Holy hell I've been here three whole years
That seems like so much longer than it feels. I mean it doesn't seem like I have been in Bloomington very long at all till I see the kiddos that were born in St Louis right after I left and realized that there has been a great deal of life between the me NOW and my life I left then. I am a different person and while it's not always the person I ( Read more... ) -
Sometimes I worry about people I don't even like!
Ever had a HUGE clue about someone but not be so sure you wanted to let it be known. There's this woman that I'm not fond of that happens to have all the physical external signs of having an eating disorder. I have never made it a secret that this is something I am intimately familiar with. I know what the mindset of a bulimic is and know what ( Read more... )
