31 Days to Fearless Entertaining
Hey, I’m back to blog 31 days with WordCount’s 2012 Blogathon. I wanted to try something new that would stretch me not only as a writer but would stretch me to face a fear of mine. So I’m planning on blogging for 31 days about Fearless Entertaining because I’m the one who comes up with […]
Set the Timer and Begin
Have you ever needed to get something done and you just can’t start? Maybe it’s a bill you have to pay or a pile you need to sort through? Or it’s a blog post you can’t seem to write? It’s the whole fear thing going on in your head or “I don’t want to face […]
Judgment
Have you ever felt judged by someone else? Of course, you have. We all have. But what about it bugged you? What did you feel inside? Do we let people judge us or is it our own insecurity showing? Do you get angry about it? Or sad and disappointed? I don’t have this figured out […]
Sharing Some of My Recent Risks: Christmas Tea
Tonight I have tried to write four different posts, and they all didn’t work. It’s getting late and I need to get something up for Wednesday’s post. So I’m going to share my Christmas photos with you. This was a huge risk for me last December because I’m a perfectionist and was scared to invite […]

Dishes and Doors
Dear Oldest Son and Oldest Daughter, I just want you to know that when you left tonight to go back to college and I didn’t walk you out to the car, it’s my way of hiding. Hiding from strong emotions. I gave you a big hug and kiss, but went right back to washing the […]
“I Have Faith That You’ll Figure It Out”
As a parent of five, there are various problems my kids have and will have. Yet as they grow older, I want to empower them to figure stuff out on their own. I so want to hold their hand and fix it for them but in the long run, I’m not being helpful. I understand […]
