About Mother’s Day

May 8, 2020July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

A friend recently asked if I’d tell her about Mother’s Day, so here I am telling you too. I don’t go to church on Mother’s Day anymore. Well, to be completely honest, I don’t go to church much at all anymore. But, that’s a post for another day. A whole church service all about mothers?… Continue reading About Mother’s Day

Carrying Traditions Forward

December 13, 2019July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

In my recent newsletter I wrote about creating new traditions for the holiday season. As I'm creating new tradition, I also realize I’m carrying traditions forward too. Though I don’t have children of my own, I do have children in my life. It’s important to me to create new traditions with them, while also carrying… Continue reading Carrying Traditions Forward

Living an Intentional Life

November 1, 2019July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

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

That Aunt Life

October 25, 2019July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

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

Sunday Mornings

May 5, 2019July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

According to my memory, Sunday mornings at my grandparents’ house were always sunny. They were quiet too, which suggests that my memory may not be exact. Although this may not be true, I am certain that it is True. Being the daughter of two preachers, Sunday mornings were usually hectic, for my parents at least.… Continue reading Sunday Mornings

2018

December 28, 2018July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

If you have an Instagram account, you’ve probably seen the top 9 posts recently. You can enter your handle and you’ll get a photo of the top 9 liked posts from the past year. When I checked out mine a week ago, I wasn’t surprised by what I saw. I think these 9 photos sum… Continue reading 2018

From Where I Came

November 19, 2018July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

This weekend I had the opportunity to walk down memory lane in some very tangible ways. On Friday night, most of my family gathered together at Church of the Saviour United Methodist to celebrate my dad’s retirement from ministry. It felt familiar and distant all at the same time. We came to this church in… Continue reading From Where I Came

An Angel Covered in Fur

October 28, 2018July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

The plan was to get a puppy when Denali was around 8 years old. We figured it would give her a boost in energy and give me the boost I’d need when the inevitable happened. It was a good plan, but I figured it would never come to fruition because of the other plan —… Continue reading An Angel Covered in Fur

Michigan is Over

September 30, 2018July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

Prior to arriving in Michigan for vacation last week, our just turned 3-year-old niece Ivy kept asking, “Are we at Michigan?” It is hard to explain the concept of “State” to little ones. Our oldest niece, Rosemary, who is almost 6, has an affinity for maps, so when we’re headed somewhere I tell her to… Continue reading Michigan is Over

Gray Hair Don’t Care (Oh wait…)

September 27, 2018September 26, 2018 Anne Brock

I saw a post from a Facebook friend the other day highlighting a new documentary coming out soon called Gray is the New Blonde. In the post she encourages women to stop dying their hair and embrace the natural beauty of the various shades of gray that we have been taught to cover up. Several… Continue reading Gray Hair Don’t Care (Oh wait…)
