Oh boy. The trains of thought I have going in my head right now are on colliding together in a massive wreck. So many topics I’ve been processing and dwelling on. They don’t all connect or necessarily have anything to do with each other except they are living together…in my head. Some of it I […]
A little over a year ago, I posted about my new special camera that was small and pink and just for me. I guarded it vigilantly. For several months. In the past few, however, I’ve gotten a little lax in my camera rules, and Carson has also become more stealth in “borrowing” the camera without […]
It’s been more than three months since the earthquake in Haiti. Since then, there’s been at least 2 other major natural disasters that have rocked the world and the press, but the Haiti earthquake still haunts me.

Wow! Thank you to everyone who donated to our Thailand Adoption Fund this last week. I’ve been continually blessed and humbled by the support of friends and family from so many different areas of my life–from childhood friends to grad school friends to friends I’ve only met in person one time! I cannot tell you […]
