We put an offer on a house last night. I am happy and thankful that we have found one to meet my downsizing, handicap accessible needs so quickly. I feel blessed that we will be able to purchase the new home and move in soon, while waiting for our house to sell. I am at…

A Changed Woman
How has motherhood changed you? It would probably be easier to name the ways that motherhood has not changed who I am but that, my friends, is not the assignment. So here goes: Where I once thought only of myself, there are now three human beings I would throw myself in front of a moving…
Only Grace…
I am guest posting for Sarah at her blog, Real Life today. Sarah is a friend of mine and when I saw how she was supporting a cause, that you will find is obviously close to my heart, I asked if I could share my story with her readers. Please visit her blog today and…
