It Is Not About Me

  Even though my sometimes selfish ego wants it to be, it is not. Period. It, being most things, issues, responses, and even well-meaning criticisms.

Come for Tea!

I Know Her When

  When the family pets lick her stuck out tongue   When her face lights up at the sound of my lullaby    When her father enters the room and she squeals relentlessly, seemingly without breath    When she pulls her cloth diaper off and crawls down the sandhill lake property to the clear water’s […]
