An Ode

The anticipation is like nothing else. Just the thought will put my mind on nothing else. I become focused – I must have. Nothing else will do. I need to hold, to touch. I need the feeling against my fingers. My breathing becomes faster, but shallower. My heart rate quickens. My eyes won’t focus. I… Continue reading An Ode

Pep-Talk Tuesday: Staring Down a Marathon

I actually don’t need much of a pep talk right now, but since I’m writing about an upcoming event and what I’m doing, physically, there might be some who get all inspired-like, and it’s Tuesday, so we’ll go with that kind of a post. I’m firmly in the “taper period” prior to the Sunday marathon.… Continue reading Pep-Talk Tuesday: Staring Down a Marathon

Since I’m going at a very different schedule, and since… Continue reading The origins of #InappropriateChurchTweets

On being a better blogger

I’ve really been trying to find extra time in the day to be a blogger, and I don’t mean that in a purely “I’ve been trying to find extra time in the day to write” sense. I’m trying to be an active blogger more & more. I want to read what you write, I want… Continue reading On being a better blogger

Random Stream of Consciousness

This has been a long week and I’m barely able to think, so I’m going to wrap things up with a little bit of insomnia stream-of-consciousness Why does teething hurt? Pain is important, it provides very express feedback to something. Yet an infant or toddler who can’t process why they’re hurting? It seems like a… Continue reading Random Stream of Consciousness
