I was busy. Busy working, busy typing. Replying to emails, checking messages, reading about current issues. Rowan was busy too. Busy learning, busy playing. Pulling out toys, rolling the ball to me as I half heartedly rolled it back to him while keeping one hand on the key board. I sat at my desk consumed [...]

Feeling Risky?
Barry and I spoke with an old friend last night and in the midst of the conversation he mentioned something that I can't get out of my head. He said: "The average life span consists of roughly 70 years. 70 years equals around 25,000 mornings. Don't allow anything to stand in the way of you [...]

We were the only ones in the waiting room. It was quiet, and somewhat cozy. Pictures lined the walls, countless success stories all captured on film.

So, in my usual fashion...I was snooping around. As my eyes soaked in their gorgeous home, I noticed a hand drawn picture framed in their entry [...]
What are You Believing for?

I caught a glimpse of Barry sleeping as he reclined his head back against the wall. We were so tired. We knew to expect weariness, but I don't think either of us [...]
Generational Blessings
