Where do I start?  So many thoughts, emotions, and stuff swirling around.  I LOVED that I had the opportunity to sit and talk with “Doc” today, to have those moments of time to recap and and just share life. The opportunity to catch you up on the family, of course you always asked after them,…

Last year as I kicked off the second year in my new city, there was a word that kept coming to mind throughout the month of January.  As I stopped and really focused on it, I realized that it would be the word for me to focus on throughout the year.  The word was ‘intentional’. …

Where to start on a reflection of my year this year. It started my second year in my new city, St Louis, and I had chosen the word “intentional” as my word for the year — how I wanted to have purpose in my daily life for God, at work, and with friends. The world…

It’s been awhile since I have placed fingers to keyboard, and worked through the thoughts that have been swirling around in my head. Not since my Grandma Foster passed away the end of August. I use blogging as a way to work through stuff, but sometimes even that has to be put on hold as…

What a week.  Last week at this time I was walking into the Dome for my start of NAYC 2019, I had to work Wednesday so I missed opening night. What a crazy weekend it turned out to be, crazy but awesome.  One thing I found out I’m to old to be staying out past…

Unsee defined is “to undo the act of seeing something, to erase the memory of seeing, reverse the effect of having seen something”.  According to online google results, most of the time this is said when something is so disturbing that the person wants to forget the sight, but their brain is permanently scarred.  We…
