Releasing

September 6, 2022 Anne Brock

For almost twenty years I’ve moved one particular tote to every apartment and house I’ve lived in. It was one of the bigger totes I carried from the car to the basement. I was able to carry it by myself, but it was almost too heavy for me to lift.  How many times did I… Continue reading Releasing

More Than Words

August 13, 2021July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

Cue Extreme’s one hit wonder from the early 90s. I had the single tape, probably passed down from my older brother. I also had the sheet music. All of these things make me feel old, but not as old as those who reference 8 tracks, so I’m good. Anyway, back to the point — More… Continue reading More Than Words

Some Midyear Thoughts on Return

June 10, 2021July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

To help me get back on the “word of the year” train (because sometimes I hop off), I like to check in on the word in June. So, here are some midyear thoughts on return.  Return to health This was one of my intentions for 2021 and I’ve jumped head first (even though I can’t… Continue reading Some Midyear Thoughts on Return

This Is Why I’m Tired

June 2, 2021July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

Almost seven weeks ago I had a hysterectomy. That was originally why I was tired. Since then, I’ve added a few more things to my “this is why I’m tired” list. I don’t share this for sympathy or advice. Mostly I just want to get it all out on paper and share a few cute… Continue reading This Is Why I’m Tired

I Carry Them All With Me

May 14, 2021July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

Mari Andrews said something like, “I carry it all with me.” She and Kate Bowler were talking about one of her drawings depicting the growth lines of a tree. Every age of that tree is contained within those lines; every tree contains every part of itself in that moment.  Thinking about herself, Mari suggested that… Continue reading I Carry Them All With Me

Number 20

April 5, 2021July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well then, this is gonna be a long post! 😉 I don’t have a whole lot of words for this one but I've got plenty of pictures from the last ten years of races! How do I sum up everything that’s gone into making Number 20… Continue reading Number 20

Planning My Healing

March 15, 2021July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

As you may remember, I had surgery in January to see if endometriosis was the cause of my chronic pain. The answer was “yes!” and… there was more to the story, as I learned at my post-op appointment. I’ve made a big decision, and like I did with my first surgery, I’m already planning my… Continue reading Planning My Healing

A Cloud of Witnesses

March 9, 2021July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

This phrase “a cloud of witnesses” comes from the Bible in Hebrews 12. The author lists ancestors who offered wisdom and behaviors to help guide those who were to come in the future. After that long list of ancestors, the author suggests that if we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, we… Continue reading A Cloud of Witnesses

Stop Comparing

February 25, 2021July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

I remind myself on a daily basis to stop comparing. Stop comparing my symptoms to theirs. And, stop comparing my success (or lack thereof) to theirs. Stop comparing my life to theirs.  It's time to stop comparing It started with my surgery in January. I shared that I had a laparoscopic procedure to see what… Continue reading Stop Comparing

It Wasn’t In My Head

January 14, 2021July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

As I woke up from the anesthesia, I eased my hand under the blanket to feel around my belly. I found a band-aid across my belly button, as I expected. I was hoping to find more band-aids, I wanted to know it wasn't in my head, but first let me explain how I found myself… Continue reading It Wasn’t In My Head
