About The Silence

So, here’s the deal. It’s been a rough couple of months.

I don’t really have anything good to say right now, so I’m following my mother’s advice and not saying anything at all. Or not much anyway.

I’m sorting through some emotions and deciding where I want to go from here with this space.

That being said, I’ve decided to take a break. A break from online. For the rest of the summer I plan to spend as little time on here, Facebook, and Twitter as possible.

I don’t want to miss a second of these last sweet weeks of beautiful nights. I want to savor the poolside giggles, the evening crickets, and the sticky pages of good books bending with the moisture of humidity. I’m even looking forward to our sand filled… well everything after days at the beach on our upcoming vacation.

Happy Summer!

I tried to comment a few days ago from my phone but it didn’t work! Was out of town all week, no real computer to use.

Take your time, keep breathing and enjoy all those summer moments! They pass so quickly! Hugs, M

Hello and welcome. It’s been a while. For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media. Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives. I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it. I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past. But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here. Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through. Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often. Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here. And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest. There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers. Come on over if you want to process with me.
