32 degrees
It’s 32 degrees outside; dark, cold, and wet. In a little over an hour, my husband and I will venture out into the hostile elements to sit in a football stadium and support our Coley. When I spoke with a co-worker about our plans for tonight earlier today, I found myself singing Bobby Caldwell’s “What […]
Picture This
Another Audrey Post:
Yesterday we had quite a setback on this road to healing, or at least I did - I think. Because of a misunderstanding too broad to capture here, the hospital did not, in fact, take a picture of baby Audrey like we thought they would. So, no picture. This matters […]
Parked in God’s Goodness
“You’re lucky I don’t get out of this car and beat your %$^(*&$!” I was so angry he took the parking space I had been patiently waiting for. The old wrinkled man ignored me as went to join the people waiting for him sitting at Pete’s Coffee. I was boiling with disbelief and anger just […]
I See You
Several years ago, I interviewed a woman named Mae who lost over 150 pounds through exercise and diet. I found her a very dedicated woman who, after many years, decided it was time to put herself and her health first. There were many things about the interview that stood out, one of which was why […]

Our Father’s Touch
“That was a Jerome pat,” Marc’s mom said as he walked past her lightly touching her shoulder. “Huh? I asked. “His father used to touch me like that,” she explained nostalgically.
A little history here: Marc’s mom and dad divorced while we were still in middle school. In addition, Marc’s father, Jerome, passed away several […]
Take No Thought: Pt. III
God speaks to me when on my morning walks. Yesterday Zion and I were taking a walk and I was praying, asking God to help me surrender my ideas of how my life should look, and how my needs will be met. For the last few days I’ve been practicing not knowing. Not knowing the […]

Core Four
This weekend my girlfriends and I had our “getaway.” At least three times a year three of my closest friends and I kiss our families good-bye and head for one night in a hotel room to be friends, be girls, be real, and be refreshed. It usually looks like having dinner Friday evening, returning to […]
Take No Thought, Pt. II
Since yesterday morning I’ve received two calls informing me that two separate people who have impacted my life greatly have either died or are going to do so very soon. One is a dear friend and old boy friend from college. He had a heart attack this Saturday; he was just 36 years old. The […]
