I woke up this morning with a lot of positive energy. Then I spent the last 30 minutes sobbing through the end of Paper Butterflies by Lisa Heathfield. Now I need to sit down and process through some feelings. // It's really easy to get overwhelmed in life, isn't it? I have a tendency to … Continue reading Getting overwhelmed and setting a particular goal

Being fat, Fab 5, and living in tension
I have always had what I call a healthy self esteem. Despite being overweight since puberty (but was I though? like, my memory tells me I was chunky in high school but when I look back at pictures I don't see it), I've never felt, or at least never felt that I felt, less than … Continue reading Being fat, Fab 5, and living in tension
The Desires of My Heart
Yesterday I was in Target and, as one does, I took a stroll through the clearance section at the front of the store. I thought, "I should see if there's anything that would be good for my classroom." Then I thought, "Holy smokes! In two months I'm going to have a classroom again!" This past … Continue reading The Desires of My Heart
Someone
I updated my 2016 Goals to include blogging at least once a week. I did post on Sunday, which would count as my one time for this week, but I had this little diddy sitting around on my desktop waiting to be read. Sometimes you meet someone important. They stick out in your memory and in … Continue reading Someone

That it's not a big deal that I have four abandoned novels whose characters keep popping up in my thoughts and dreams. Who cares that I haven't written a blog post in a week? Not me! No big deal! I've … Continue reading Here’s the thing about husband-babies-future balls of yarn
Here’s the the thing about prayer
Isn’t it awesome/annoying how God’s always right?For the past couple of weeks I have been obsessing about the future. Who am I going to marry? Where are we going to live? Are we going to adopt kids? How many? How long will I be teaching first grade at The Palms? Should I move? Should I … Continue reading Here’s the the thing about prayer
Here’s the thing about the big green monster
I'm really good at being excited for people when they get engaged. I'm really good at being excited for people when they get a new, exciting job. I'm SUPER good at being excited for people when they get a new kitty cat or puppy dog.

Here’s the thing about what’s inside of me
I want more courage to rise up and live as the person that exists inside of me. Sometimes I feel like I am suffocating that person inside of me, like she is there living in my bones, growing in strength and voice, and sometimes I listen and jump and risk and get uncomfortable but all … Continue reading Here’s the thing about what’s inside of me
