I have a reoccurring dream. In this dream, I am driving a vehicle up a very steep mountain. There is little to no shoulder on this road because of how steep this mountain is. I keep driving around and around this mountain, going faster and faster each time I get around a bend. On oneContinue reading “Hang On”

Back in January, I failed to renew my subscription to my website. It was easier to delete the reminder emails than find my credit card and update my payment information. Life was more (is still more) than 40 MPH. I found myself thinking about different posts. Wanting to find time to write. Putting it onContinue reading “I’m Back!”

One year, 4 seasons, 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 525,600 minutes (now you will have that song in your head for the next two hours). It feels like yesterday. If feels like an eternity ago.

I have struggled on a topic to write about the last few weeks – I have noticed a lot of differences in the Kevin who I am married to today vs the Kevin I was married to before the tumor was removed. I wanted to write about those differences, but then I would become distracted,Continue reading “It Was Just a Gate”

I’m pretty sure that if 2021 and 2020 were at a party together, 2021 just asked 2020 to hold their beer. Unprecedented temperatures, rolling black outs, I am pretty sure that in the last 12 months I have experienced as many ‘firsts’ as my children have. It’s no secret, one of the things that IContinue reading “Baby It’s Cold Outside!”
