    Welcome to the world, Sophia!!

    What started as a failed attempt at NaNoWrimo in 2019 about a woman who suffered a miscarriage has become a whole world I just keep writing about. Sophia’s Restoration is the latest story born from that work. Here’s a recap in case it’s been awhile. Merry Mary’s Bakery (2022) Mary…

  • There’s Your Problem

    There’s Your Problem

    We got a new car this last week. My old beloved 2014 VW Jetta Diesel had a could be problem. What’s a could be problem? It could be this could be that, no direct answer to the issue of it stalling and going into limp mode with no codes. With…

  • Studious

    Studious

    In the third grade, I decided I wanted to be a doctor. I remember our social studies book had a picture of an older gentleman (and since I was in the third grade he was probably in his late twenties) in a lab coat with a stethoscope. I wanted to…

  • Twinsies!

    Twinsies!

    I remember when my parents were young, they would occasionally wear matching shirts. I’ve even seen a couple online that always matches when they go out. That seems a bit extreme. I mean I get the appeal, I have bought matching shirts for my husband and I. In my defense,…

    The Story of Lately

    Have I told you this story yet? I don’t think so, get settled in, it’s a good one. A few years ago, our only child graduated from high school. Not just any high school, our homeschooled high school. They were educated at home all of their school years. It was…

    Rassle Mania

    I went to a WWE match the other day. Okay, it wasn’t real WWE; it was just some of us kids rassling in the backyard. Tommy thought he was hot stuff, winning every round. He was ready to take on the world. He had his eye set on Little Joe,…

  • 5K to Couch

    5K to Couch

    My heart doctor said that I needed to exercise more. I bought some running shoes and downloaded a plan to run a 5K. I even signed up for a race. My shin splints yelling and blisters weeping, I thought it may be better to live on the couch than to…

  • Waiting

    Waiting

    My great grandmother once told me she was waiting on God to come back. I asked how long she’d been waiting. She told me she’d been waiting my whole life. And she’d waited my mother’s whole life, even my grandmother’s whole life, ever since she was a little girl herself.…
