When We Can Unite
I started to define normal for you the other day. But I didn't mention that our normals can change. A lot. Just think about life. Normal changes with every single life stage...from childhood to adulthood. And how we define normal can continue to evolve. Wherever we...
Breaking Through Barriers: Redefining Normal
Normal. How do you even begin to define "normal"? Culture teaches us what normal can mean, what normal should look like, and how to respond to what isn't considered normal. What is normal, really? This is a question I wrestle with, something I ask myself again and...
The Easy Side of Limitations
Easy isn't really a part of the definition when you're thinking about limits. Or looking at limitations that might affect the way you live. But I've come to see there is an easier side to limitations. I've at least grown used to my own limits over the years. Maybe...
Living Beyond Your Limits
Two years ago I chose my first word for the year — focus. That was the year I struggled. A lot. I faced health question after health question with no signs of the answers I longed for. I barely blogged, but I learned to write in the quiet space of my journal. I had...
When It’s Time for Boots & Other Things
It was time to pull out the boots. The forecast said the temps would be in the upper 30s by mid-day and they mentioned a chance for snow showers. I guess I should get dressed like it's winter, I tell myself. Because we are in the middle of January. But just yesterday...
When Weary Can’t Win
I have to admit I've been missing the daily blogging. I grew used to the habit last month as I finally did the Write 31 Days challenge. I did it. I finished. I learned a few things along the way and I'll have to share them soon. Tonight I'm too tired for a lot of...
Why I Almost Lost it in Public
It definitely wasn't the first time, but it still made me mad. Maybe mad is too strong of a word, but I was frustrated and there was a hint of anger under the frustration. My morning started extra early as I was running in a short race with a friend. She was pushing...
A Random Post on Bacon
I woke up to the scent of bacon. Then I found out the word for Five Minute Friday was bacon. The connection to bacon on this day continued when I ran an errand later in the morning. I saw a bumper sticker -- Fueled by Bacon. I've always picked bacon over sausage. I...
Lost in a Sea of Words
Can you believe another month is ending soon? And I've been blogging every single day? I didn't have it in me this time last year. I quit before I started. So glad I finally decided to jump all in and get lost in a sea of words. When I'm writing, I do get lost in a...
Hope Wavering in the Night
Darkness is when the worries grow and hope begins to waver. It's easy to see all the good possibilities before you start something new. And in the middle of the darkness, whatever that looks like...an actual night or maybe a hard situation...in the middle of the dark,...
