Our Solstice Celebration

Playing catch up blogger here!! Logan planned a solstice celebration as he stayed up all night on Solstice Eve in December.

Broc and I slept and got up to find that he had gathered food,candles, flashlight and blankets to head down to the docks and watch the sunrise.

A bit bleary eyed, he was so happy to have us join him on a cloudy December morning. We bundled up and tried to light some candles in the wind to no avail. Sunrise found us watching a fisherman close by in his boat no doubt wondering what in the world we were doing.

The sun rose behind the clouds but we were still happy to have made the trek. Home again, Logan burrowed under his covers to sleep.

Happy TWENTY!

I shared this story over on my Facebook wall last week on the actual date of our" 20 years since Broc (With no K) tracked me down".  I wanted to bring some photos from over the years here in case I ever turn this blog into a memory book.  It seems crazy that it's been twenty years because although we don't act like we've aged a bit, we now have five kids in their twenties!

A message came acoss my computer (maybe the old AOL messaging?) and it said " Hi...This is Broc . Do you remember me?" I did remember him from when we had met briefly when we both lived in Austi…

Still Learning

Over the years, I've been told many (SO MANY) times that I'm 1) too trusting 2) gullible and 3) put too much faith in believing that people are kind at heart.



I don't consider those negative traits.  I'd rather be trusting and be disappointed than go through life not trusting people.  And yes, I am gullible and that goes along with believing that what people tell me is true.  I truly do believe that "most" people are kind at heart.

Recently, I've added the "most" due to our current POTUS.  Then not long ago, I was at a social event where I had a huge realization.  This was one of those "We are going to hit you over the head so you will finally get this message".

What I finally grasped was this.  For some people, image is the most important thing in their lives. It overules relationships and kindness.  These individuals must find a way to appear so others view them as successful, loved, and socially valued. Money seems to be a huge fac…

Tell Your Stories

After a month of some serious introspection, therapy, deep discussion with friends and family, more therapy, starting a new business and enrolling in a college photography program, I am back.

Much more to say and write about but for now, I'll just leave this here.

“You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.”  Anne Lamott
