Choices !!
Don’t you love choices?? Today, after a really tough week, is turning out beautifully and it’s not yet noon. Today is my Meghan Lee’s 25th birthday. We spoke early, I waited for her call – I’m learning, didn’t want to wake her too early on her birthday. I sang to her, not the traditional melody,…

A Special Letter
I just wrote a special letter, a letter to my younger daughter, Meghan Lee. I didn’t really have time for this today as I’m under the proverbial gun to finish major school work in time to join a group of friends tomorrow. We’ll see…. The letter had to be written and will be taken to…

It’s a Mom Thing…
Not everybody would get this, but if you’re a mom, I’m fairly certain you will. Everybody knows my Meghan Lee was here for eight days. She’s gone, four days already. It’s harder than I’d have believed. I should be used to it; my daughters live on opposite coasts, I’m in the middle and this is…

Worth the Wait
Just six hours now and I’ll be at the GB airport, waiting for my beloved Meghan to walk through the door!! We’ve been counting down together, sending little texts each day with the tally and now it’s here. I’ve been working hard to be ready – not that she is demanding or critical. It’s me,…

Just Turn it Off!
I’m not much for television to begin with, but have my little vices – Good Morning, America, the 5:30 news if I’m around and Nightline. That’s just changed. Here it is, just after 7 a.m. and I’m irritated by what passes for morning news and turned the darn thing off. This is what qualified as…

Furiously Treading…
Last year about this time, a little later actually, I wrote about doing battle with algebra. This summer I had a great time with my counseling class and am finishing an interesting time with philosophy. Note: ” interesting” is LeeAnn-speak for I’m not going to tell you what I really think. Here’s a hint: in…

Reflections on a summer Sunday morning
It’s been quite a week, filled with the usual ups and downs common to women everywhere – highlights and low-lights and life does go on. Because I’m me, let’s start with a big highlight. My favorite Auntie Arlene, mentioned often in this blog, had a birthday, 92, to be specific. Below you see two photos…

What’s Your Worldview?
You gotta love philosophy – full of questions, wonder and oh, so many words!! My old friend Marlee called me early this morning- time for a catch-up. On our respective phones in front of our respective monitors, we visited the Homestead Website and poked through some old blog posts. From there to the business of…

Another TA DA for me!
I love those words! Drum-roll please, TA DA!! Another trimester of classes under my belt, and two more As in the bag. These were great classes, one Psych and one Issues of Competent Christian Counseling. How fun for me!! What sealed the A in psych was the final paper, submitted at 3:45 a.m. Sunday. I…

Happy Anniversary to Me !!!
Yes, indeed, I’m one fortunate woman, sharing my story and my joy with y’all today. Four years ago right about now, a neurosurgeon and his team took a buzz saw to my skull and then a scalpel to my brain. Later he visited me in the night and delivered the news that the tumor they…
