A Spiritual Journey Through Creativity
A year ago I still felt alone. Yes, I was surrounded by supportive friends and family, but I didn’t have a community of people who truly understood my situation. Today I give thanks for all I’ve experienced and encountered over the last year. Today I give thanks for you. Lindsay Letters For my writing friends...… Continue reading Give Thanks
I always have a plan I had a plan. I knew what I was going to write about this week. It all hinged on getting a project done so I’d have pictures to accompany the writing. Having this plan in place eased my mind because I knew my time to write would be limited. And… Continue reading All is Well
This week I learned something really important: I am my own advocate. Last week I shared about many of my wonderings around my health. Specifically I mentioned that I wanted to learn more about endometriosis because the reading I’ve done feels familiar and closer to an answer than I’ve had in years. Finally, I shared… Continue reading My Own Advocate
I’m just wondering… I'm just wondering if I knew then what I know today, would I have done things differently? If my doctor told me when I was 18 that birth control might affect my fertility, would I have made a different choice? Would I have worried about my future as a parent or was… Continue reading Just Wondering
I'm living an intentional life in many ways. Here's just one... When my grandparents were still alive, we would make the three hour drive to their farm every holiday season. At least for Thanksgiving or Christmas, sometimes both. We went out in the summer too. And it wasn’t just my family. It was my aunts… Continue reading Living an Intentional Life
Don’t mind me — I’m just over here living that aunt life! As soon as the three older girls got off the bus on Friday, they ran straight toward me. Rosemary was shouting, “Anne! Anne!” They ran up to me and gave me big hugs. We made it up to the porch and immediately had… Continue reading That Aunt Life
It’s that time of year when I pull out two totes from the storage room in the basement and lug them up to our bedroom for the bi-annual closet swap. I’ve got two sets of clothes — one for spring/summer and one for fall/winter, though a few items stay out year round. As long as… Continue reading The Time is Now
I didn't really have any images to go along with this post, so I'm just inserting a few favorites that I've taken this fall. Since starting my Instagram account specifically related to my infertility journey, I’ve learned something very important: We are better together. Let me explain… In April I decided to start down the… Continue reading Better Together
Last week on my Wednesday instagram post, which is always a quote I’ve found to be helpful on this journey, I shared this from Amateur Nester: “With a baby or without, you are valuable, you are whole, and you matter.” And then I named my truth, something that’s been on my mind a lot recently:… Continue reading It Is Good
What do you see when you look at a perfectly curated Instagram grid? What do you see when you scroll through Facebook day after day? I’ll tell you what I see… I see beautiful meals plated out ready for the family to eat. I see happy children celebrating birthdays or going to their first day… Continue reading What Do You See
