I was raised Roman Catholic.  I went to Catholic school for all of my schooling years.  My parents divorced when I was nine years old, before I was old enough to know that Divorce was wrong, according to the Catholic Church.  Even before that, however, we were never a family who regularly went to Church… Continue reading Something “Universal”

Watching the World Spin

When I was a kid I used to spin around as fast as I could until I fell down to the ground.  I would open my eyes and look up at the sky to watch the whole world spinning around me.  In my innocence, I knew that this was the way for me to witness something that we… Continue reading Watching the World Spin

Fear and Faith

February 5, 2014May 30, 2014 Crankygiraffe3 Comments

Faith is a place of mystery, where we find the courage to believe in what we cannot see and the strength to let go of our fear of uncertainty ~Brene Brown I am afraid. I am uncertain. I am freaking out and it's because I fail to have faith. I've always believed that faith referres… Continue reading Fear and Faith

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt I am hopeful for my future because I have never given up on my dreams.  That is not to say that I have never doubted that they would come true.  However, at the bleakest moments of my life, when It… Continue reading Dreams of The Future

Blogger Friends Got Ideas!

Yesterday, after my Alter Ego, Cranky Giraffe, posted about my son’s crazy little love letter to his newest idol, Lady Gaga, an old old blogging friend tweeted it, with an idea that maybe he could meet her!  I know the likelihood of it being re-tweeted by anyone other than myself is pretty low… But who […]

It’s Been a Long Time…

The Common Sense Problem

The airplane seat map shows that the emergency exit row seats are considered “less desirable.” It’s a little ironic since they come with extra leg room, even if they don’t recline (really, who needs to recline 2 inches when you have two extra feet of leg room?). I think the real reason they are less […]

Walking Tall

This month I’m traveling around the country to check out fellowship positions. It is exhausting, trying, lonely, and often confusing. Most of all, I miss my kids. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how fellowship and moving to one of these places would fit into the current, ideal, little life of […]
