If someone were to ask what is most important to me in life I would need no time to ponder.  My answer would come more quickly than the inquirer could blink an eye or take a breath. My response would not include a diatribe that involved words such as money, success, or even security. Nope, […]

    Oh, so so true! (That would be my answer as well.)

    What special memories! Real friends are to be cherished…they are so rare.

    I am counting down the days til I can reconnect with 2 very dear friends that I haven't seen in years face to face…our date is next July in Montana!
    *plus we get to meet each others kids! Yeah!ReplyCancel

    What a fun, emotional surprise to read this as see these photos! Oh my blessed friend. I am waiting for Adam to get home so I can leave for work. Issy is down for her nap and finally I have a few quiet moments. It's time to catch up on Summer's blog I tell myself! It will help me find perspective before I go to work 🙂 Oh how I have not been disappointed! Thank you for posting these precious photos! I miss you…here's to six months away and hopefully another visit!ReplyCancel

    Wonderful blog! I definitely love how it’s easy on my eyes and also the data are well written. I am wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which need to do the trick! Have a nice day!ReplyCancel

Something happened to me today when I read this blog post.  As my eyes passed over the words and my mind processed what they were saying, I experienced a physical reaction.  I could feel the thump-thump of my heart increase with each word and my breath was coming more quickly as I took it all […]

    I'm so glad you came across this information when you most needed it. I might have put the invitation out years ago…but it is applicable EVERY single day! 🙂 Here's to being brave…and to having support along the way.

    All my best

    So excited to see how God works in and through you as you embark on "being brave." I've been thinking about you regarding this and praying each moment you come to mind. Friday is on the way!ReplyCancel

I am not one to get deeply involved (or involved at all) in the hot topic debates that accompany Motherhood.  You know those I’m talking about. . . Natural birth vs. Epidural Breast vs. Bottle Stay at Home vs. Working Mom Vaccinations vs. No vaccinations. . . . to name a few.  It’s not that […]

    LOVE THIS!!! 🙂 What do you do for a living? It sounds interesting…although maybe sad?

    Love the quote…we use the "golden rule" all the time in our home…but this is so perfect! I had a difficult childhood and that's all that I am ALWAYS trying to achieve that my own babies have a better one!

    Thanks again for your insight!ReplyCancel

    What a great post that totally shows your heart! I think that is such an honest assessment about what really is important…and oh how right you are regarding the stories we hear. Never have I, either, heard someone complain about the fact they got vaccines or their mom did not have a natural birth! 🙂 How funny to think if that were only the things our clients had to process and work through! Thanks for the wonderful perspective….ReplyCancel

He makes me smile. . .  While at work yesterday I received the following text from Chad, who was also at work: 12:50 p.m.  “Sigh. . . my right earring hole is closed I think.” Yes, my husband got his ear pierced days after we got married.  We were on our honeymoon and I think […]
