Kindergarten

We walked behind her letting her lead the way and I just stared at the big blonde curls bouncing with every step she took.

I didn't realize how much it had concerned her until her teachers told me she'd been practicing writing her name all morning and asking them if she was doing better. She's paid attention...

Resolution to Hope

Friday, January 2, 2015

You've seen them glaring at you like a deer in the headlights as you scroll through any social media news feed.  The beginning of any new year is filled to the brim and running over with newness and promises. Full of resolutions and good intentions, the masses are set to make a change as the calendar year turns a fresh page.  But what if you're like me and you're just not sure about this...
