This is the conclusion of my gigantic post started yesterday regarding my depression and what happened once I was diagnosed and treated by a professional…
Within a week, I began to feel more self controlled. Not euphoric, not pollyanna. Just less rage. Therapy helped give me tools to use for those trigger moments that can send [...]

I’m so mad I could…
If you’ve followed this blog for awhile, you know that I am depressed. I see an internist and a psychiatrist regularly while we are dialing in some medication and monitoring Type 2 Diabetes. I am one of many women/moms in the same or similar boat. Comforting or disturbing? You pick.
About 5 years ago, I had [...]

Beautiful
I read Perry Noble’s post about their upcoming series at Newspring Church in Anderson, SC called “Beautiful” and it reminded me of Christina Aguilera’s song “Beautiful“. As I recall, the song is based in feelings toward her father and perhaps even the media and public at the time it was released. I think she is [...]

Why I blog and read all yours
I found a link to this story from BooMama. An amazing story of moms coming together over a common cause through the internet. Take a few minutes to read. I could not stop once I started.

dinner shminner
I feel like having ice cream and Coke for dinner. I don’t think the kids will mind, do you? All I need is ice cream and Coke. I wish the grocery store would deliver.
Went to a funeral today. One of my neighbors passed away young from cancer. It feels like one of the porch lights [...]

Its Boob-o-gram time!
It’s time again for my annual mammogram. Had it last week and wouldn’t you know it, they wanted more views. I’m so proud. So I went this morning and they took their extra pictures. Apparently, whatever showed up last week wasn’t there today so I’m clear for another 6 months. I have to follow up [...]

Bringing sexy back(some parental guidance suggested)
Who’s bringing sexy back?
My husband that’s who. And yes I realize that song is SO two songs ago. But stay with me.
Have you ever heard the phrase “for women, foreplay starts in the kitchen”? Well now, what’s hotter than coming home from an MRI and a trip to the grocery store where the tv is [...]

Having a “Mary” Christmas
Another great weekend at The Orchard. We’re in a fascinating series called the Advent Conspiracy which involves resisting the pace, relational gift giving, and redistribution. Check out the link for details. This week Scott shared the story of Martha and Mary out of Luke 10:38-42. When Jesus arrived in their village, Martha invited Jesus into [...]

Mercy For Your Soul
My Mother’s Heart small group is reading through the book Tender Mercy for a Mother’s Soul by Angela Thomas Guffey. The following caught my attention.
On p.16, feeling spiritually barren(emphasis mine)…
“Mothering is about giving. We give at every level of emotional, mental, and physical energy. We give until there is nothing left. Learning to give [...]

Sign of the times
So, I’m in this training class tonight with co-workers whose average age is probably 20–if you take me(41) out of the stats. We’ve been together all week and there is one girl (about 19) who looks VERY familiar but I can’t place her. We get to talking about it and she says, “I was [...]
