My Doctor Quit After Diagnosing Me with Cancer #NaBloPoMo
Has anything traumatic ever happened to you? Describe the scenes surrounding a particular event. ~ Adrienne McDonnell {Guest Prompt} I took the registered letter from the mailman and opened the envelope, a sheet of neatly folded paper slipped to the floor. I picked it up and unfolded it: “Dear Mrs. Tucker, This letter is to inform you that you have 30 days to find a new Primary Care Physician. I will no longer be your doctor for the following reasons: You were verbally abusive towards my staff You chose not to follow the recommendations of specialists that I referred you to You did not like the way that I, as…

Finding Work ~ Life Balance, How We Did It #NaBloPoMo
Making family time is important for me. How do you balance your children, relationship and work life? ~ Ricki Lake {Guest Prompt} I won’t lie, when we lived in Pennsylvania, finding balance was hard. Everyone was operating on their own schedules ~ the hubs was working overtime, the kids were involved in different activities and I was working evenings and weekends. There were weeks when I saw my kids maybe 15 or 20 minutes a week and the hubs even less. My home life was basically falling apart. But we were doing what we had to do in order to survive. Raise your hand if you know what that’s like.…

Random Thoughts #NaBloPoMo
I know I’ve talked about this before but I really enjoy taking pictures, so I’ve decided to post a picture of the day on Sundays for the month of November. Just random pictures of things that catch my eye during the week, nothing big and fancy, just random fun stuff. How about that earthquake yesterday? Did you feel it? The hubs and I were talking on Facetime last night when it happened. He started looking around the room and he goes “The lamps are shaking…” At first he thought it was a train or something, earthquake never crossed his mind. But a quick check of Twitter confirmed Miss 14’s suspicions…

We Ended Up in the Wrong State, But We Had Fun #NaBloPoMo
I have the sense of direction of a monkey in hurricane. But I haven’t always been this way. Years ago, I used to hop in my car, strap my then 6~month~old into her car seat and drive all over the South. And this was before cell phones and Mapquest. Before GPS and turn~by~turn directions. I reveled in my independence. Miss 6~month~old and I would turn up the music, I’d sing to the top of my lungs and she’d promptly fall asleep. That was the life. We never got lost. Then something happened. I got married. I had more kids. I bought a cell phone. I started using Mapquest. Somewhere along…

When You are Writing, Do You Prefer to Use a Pen or a Computer? #NaBloPoMo
As a teenager, I used to love to write letters. My letters took days for me to write. I’d start them on Monday, finish them on Thursday and stick them in the mail on Friday. Yes, I really thought my friends cared that much about my ~ whoa, wait! I was blogging on paper. But I was also incredibly, um, anal about my letters. They had to be perfect. Each letter had to slant in the same direction, they had to perfectly formed. There were no mistakes. I didn’t cross out and continue writing. Nope, I scrapped the entire sheet and started all over again. Even if I was already…

Can You Listen to Music and Write? #NaBloPoMo
I’m a dancer. Not to be mistaken for a person who has rhythm or fancy moves, mind you. But I’m a dancer. Every time I hear music, my feet start tapping, my shoulders start shaking and it’s all over but the hopping on the stage. Of course, I’d never dance on a stage. Imagine me nodding my head yes as I typed that sentence. I even dance during commercials. Lowe’s, anyone? Love Gin Wigmore’s voice. So listening to music while I write is definitely not an option. I watch television. Yep, I turn the television on and just let it flow. Well, not really flow. It comes out more like…

Word Filled Wednesday: Walk in the Light of His Presence #NaBloPoMo
Matthew 10:32~33 32 Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven. Wow! Those are probably two of the most powerful and most convicting scriptures in the Bible. How many times have I stood silently while people have used the Lord’s name in vain or made mockery of beliefs that I hold dear? Denying Christ doesn’t just come from saying “I don’t know the man” as Peter did in Mark 14:66~72, denial comes in allowing people to disrespect my faith. For the longest time, I used to just skip over comments…

What is Your Favorite Part About Writing? #NaBloPoMo
In high school, my favorite part of writing was actually the preparation part. I enjoyed the process of arranging my pens ~ Pilot Precise V~5, thankyouverymuch ~ on my bed, I used to create a little nest out of the blanket so my pens wouldn’t roll around. Yes, I was that much of a nerd. I’d take the sheets of notebook paper (college ruled only) and stack them neatly on the corner of my book, tilted at just the right angle… I always wrote my letters while stretched out on the bed, music pumping through the headphones of my walkman. I also enjoyed the research part of writing. As a…
