It’s Only Life
Life is tough sometimes, right? I mean, there are days when really bad things happen. We have events in our lives that can be devastating, like the loss of a loved one or news of a terrible illness. I’ve been through times in my life where I was so heartbroken, I never thought I’d recover.…

365 Photo a Day-Week Two
I made it through my second week of “a photo a day,” and actually used my camera over my cell phone. The one thing I noticed in doing this project, I was taken back to my days in photography school. It reminded me of when I crawled around my yard trying find things to take…

Missing: Best Friend
So this weekend, Emma went to bed on Sunday night and woke up to Tilly, her hamster, and best friend missing. It was as though someone came and plucked her out of her cage and left. The only disturbance was a fallen water bottle and a missing hamster. Tilly’s cage is one that has an…

We Know Who You Are
Originally posted on This House Is Our Home: The horrors you have seen, I can never take away. They are seared forever onto the heart so many people think you don’t have.

The Trouble with Easy
My husband and I often talk about his job. We do this because one, it’s a consuming job, and two, I get it, and he’s comfortable talking to me about it. Many times he remarks about how he feels like he loses his edge when he spends too much time in the office. He’s a…
