Oh sweet Meghan…you are a gift to the world. You bring love and joy to everyone you meet. I ought to know…  You flooded my life with it in the 2 short hours we spent together. Thank you for being incredible you.  Never ever back away from that.  Because you are a blessing beyond measure.  […]

Dear Me,   Trying to diminish who you really are and what you can really do doesn’t actually do any good to any one. And that guilt?  Yeah…  Same thing.  It does no one any favors. It’s time to live into who you really are.  Take all that energy you spend comparing yourself, pretending your […]

Remember Lauren and Joe?  The incredibly sweet/beautiful/dreamy couple I’m head over heels for?  Yes. It’s time to overwhelm you with beautiful details.  And awesome dancing. Let’s do this. First of all, have I mentioned that Lauren’s mom is absolutely unbelievable?  And so is her entire family.  It was one incredibly artistic/amazingly kind person after the […]

There are times in our lives when people impact us so deeply, there’s no way to write their story without admitting that their story changed ours. That’s where I find myself. Last Saturday two incredibly beautiful people stood together amidst a forest filled with family and friends who would do anything for the precious people […]

Dear Sweet Jayden,   You are my joy.  My smile.  My good morning hug.  My blonde ball of energy.  My 0-60 in .2 seconds.  My snuggler.  My comic.  My heart.  My “I-don’t-begin-to-have-words-I-love-you-so-much”.  My “excuse-me-while-I-melt-into-a-puddle-of-mush-you’re-so-precious”.  My how-on-earth-does-he-wake-up-so-early-and-yet-manage-to-be-so-cute. I missed you something fierce while you were gone.  (Although I’m sure you had a great time with Grammy […]

She just wanted to talk with him. There’s something about his voice that settles her.  It’s in the way he loves her.  The way his world stops for her. But he wouldn’t pick up. Frustration set in.  He had a busy workday – but she just wanted a minute.  A minute for their worlds to […]

The truth? This past year I lost myself. My entire self. Somewhere between those days I spent in a hospital begging God to not let me lose my mom, that morning when I woke up at the age of 28.4 and literally could not walk, that day I had to look into my precious little […]

Dear Sweet Little Man,   As I watched you snuggle into your mommy, I could tell that you know: you have been loved since before you were even a thought.  It makes sense.  With a love so deep that it carried through heartache, shut doors and mountains of adoption paperwork for six years – I’m […]

He thought she was cute.  She thought he had great teeth.  (No really…she did.  And he does.) They exchanged numbers…and then…well…nothing. Until they finally got together for a run. He brought his ipod.  Just “in case”. There was no in case… He fell for her.  And she knew he was the one.  And before long, […]
