    Letting go of emotional "junk" is difficult. I do love a good junk drawer though 🙂ReplyCancel

There are times when I refer to this space as “Sacred”.  Not in the get-down-on-your-knees-bow-your-head-and-say-a-prayer kind of sacred.  Rather, it is sacred in the sense that this space is set apart for a particular purpose.

    Thanks a lot

Every now and then something happens and sparks a thought that, most of the time, I try to avoid.  Seemingly out of thin air the thought blindsides me with such force it nearly knocks me over.  I do everything I can to hide from it, to get out of it’s way, to deny it. . […]

    Oh boy…I have to go sign up S for K next weekend. I am in total denial. Total! I just may 'forget' about the K Expo. What Expo? K? What? 😉

    We are so similar…I do not want to let go…yet I do. It's such a tough mix of emotions.

    Hang in there…we can do it together! Cry through it at Panera. 😉 ReplyCancel
