This is my friend Amy and me at the Blissdom Conference. I’m praying for her today… nothing urgent, just because. Are you praying for anyone specific today? Shared with 5 Minutes for Mom, Dear Crissy, Divine Miss Mommy
A Friend in Need
August 15, 2010 by 4 Comments
I’ve had a story of friendship that I’ve been wanting to share lately. Throughout my life, I’ve had the privilege to share moments with lots of friends. There are “seasons” of friendship when we walk very closely with a friend, and then there are times when the friendship lives on in our hearts until we [...]

The Trust Factor: Broken
November 2, 2009 by 14 Comments
I’ve been writing about my experience with a “Kindred Spirit” friend. Read the first post here if you haven’t yet. This post is going to sound sort of negative. Well, it pretty much IS negative. I don’t share this to sound like a victim or to complain, I was in the wrong, too. But to [...]
Do You Have a "Kindred Spirit" Friend?
November 1, 2009 by 4 Comments
Have you ever had the kind of friend that you could go to with anything? When the feelings bubble up from where you’ve stuffed them, when you’re angry, when you’re feeling catty, even when you know you’re wrong, you can share them with this friend. She will listen with a grain of salt. She may [...]

Two of my daughters have “kindred spirit” best friends. You know, like Anne of Green Gables talked about “Kindred Spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. Its splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.” ~ Anne Shirley It is such a blessing to see my daughters [...]
The Mother Eagle Emerges
January 14, 2008 by 20 Comments

My wings spread wide, the talons were bared, and the irresistible urge to protect my young overtook me. OK, maybe I’m being a little dramatic, but it was a defining moment for me as a mother. [...]
My Friends Are Awesome!
December 4, 2007 by Leave a Comment
I’m updating my sidebar, getting rid of the expandable boxes, and creating pages for some links. Usually I bury them in the archives, but I thought I’d highlight these great gift and card ideas. These guys are not advertisers, they are some of my real life friends, so I like to shamelessly plug them! I’m [...]
Real Friends vs the "Right" Friends
November 28, 2007 by 12 Comments
My eldest daughter, HipChick, plans her birthday party all year long. At seemingly random times, she will blurt out something like, “I think I just want to invite girls, mom.” To which I say, “To what honey?” I should learn by now that it’s always in reference to her birthday party. For her next birthday, [...]
