Wound Care

February 12, 2010

{…continued from yesterday’s post}
Strong emotions of any kind seem to spurn from the same place. Passion. That passion I felt with “my people”, also brought up my passion for missing Mabel. I tried to ride those waves as best I could, but at times the waves seemed unbearable. I worked to be real with myself [...]

The Tunnel

December 24, 2009

Imaging what would come out next, I sit by my fireplace that is not lit and imagine it a roaring fire to burn away all the sick. I see the flames in my head, all the colors. Hear the crackling. It’s so real. I long for this vision to be a reality just so I [...]

Love For Lunch

October 26, 2009

We have been having so much fun putting lunch notes in Charlie’s lunch box each day. Jonah is the one who loved to sneak a note in, and he’s been my partner in crime as we create a little love for his brother.

Music 4 Good

June 5, 2009

Music is one of my must haves, along with air and water and food. I’m not convinced I could live without it. So finding a new artist to love is pure gold for me — like adding a new member to my very exclusive family.

Messy

May 12, 2009

I just stole away to my bedroom upstairs, quietly and quickly. I don’t know if I should lay down for a nap, fold one of the many mountains of laundry, or actually do some blog reading for once…
I couldn’t take being out in the world any longer today, even if “the world” was just my [...]

Randomness

March 4, 2009

I feel like things have been pretty darn heavy up in the ToThink haus here, so how about I share some randomness with you?
Today I got mad at my husband and then my dog did too. I didn’t [...]
