If You really knew me...you would know I had an unhealthy dislike for my husband when I first met him. My belief that God doesn't make crap drove me to uncover his unique gifts. Falling in love with him was an unexpected and life-changing result.
you would know I gave up alcohol for my kids. Alcohol was like a best friend for 25 years. Unfortunately, it made mothering well much harder. Deepening my relationship with them meant letting go of my relationship with alcohol.
you would know I'm a boxer mom. Drax "The Destroyer" is my shadow. If I am home, he is on me or beside me. If I am gone, he is anxiously awaiting my arrival. The only time I may be overlooked is if my best friend visits.
you would know my best friend and I met our future selves! A much-needed girl's weekend included a stop at The Blackbird Cafe in Bristol, VA. A serendipitous moment introduced us to Gail & Carol. The cafe staff and the four of us noticed our distinct similarities immediately. We exchanged numbers and started our own text thread.
you would have followed our six-week National Park Tour in 2021. Our Honda Odyssey became home base as we traveled to various campsites along our ten-park tour. Our best conversations always happen on hikes, a cherished activity in our family.
you would know healthy living is hard for me! This picture is a reminder of what could be. Seasonal depression, emotional eating, and poor time management can cripple me. Fortunately, I have tasted the joy of healthy living and will never stop fighting for it.
