I have been avoiding writing this post for a while now, mainly because I knew the emotions that it would stir and quite honestly, I’m already drained before this move has really even started. Before we left El Paso, I needed to memorialize our time there and encapsulate all of the blessings and lessons learned Continue reading

May // A D V E N T U R E //
In 2017, I’m hunting the good stuff. I am setting aside the turmoil I see all around me and instead recording snapshots that will tell a story of fun, adventure, joy, and thankfulness. This is the story of my life and I’ll choose the tone and how I want to tell it; I do that daily with my Continue reading

Location Independent
I have been in a funk lately. It’s actually a familiar funk that I revisit occasionally. I know that much of what has contributed to that has been the constant mental chatter about what I need to do as we prepare for our first of two moves this year. I’ve been trying my hardest to Continue reading

The Woods Go To Washington
Sunday: Sunday was a travel day. We’d planned to get a way a little earlier, but we finally left Augusta around 8:30 am. We stopped at Firehouse Subs and Starbucks near Lumberton, NC. We had a few other bathroom and coffee stops and traffic really got heavy once we were in Virginia. We arrived in Continue reading

I don’t know about you, but I am nearly overwhelmed with all of the negativity, dissension, conflicting viewpoints, and division that seems to be threatening to overtake my heart and mind. This has been mounting for a while. With the current political climate AND the fact that 2017 promises to present our family with some Continue reading

2016 Year in Review
Most years, I complete a sort of informal “annual report” for my life. I love to reflect upon the high and lows of the previous year. It helps me to digest some important lessons, put a finger on the pulse of my goals, and look ahead to the next year with anticipation and focus. 2015 Continue reading

What’s On Your Plate?
Every December I begin to get pensive and reflective on the previous year. I blame sitting in my dark den basking in the glow of our Christmas tree. I think about what has transpired; the fun, the celebratory, and those difficult moments I’m glad we all survived. In looking back I also begin to look Continue reading
