My People

Yesterday I was talking to my friend Levi about church earlier that day. He said that when he looked around he saw us as family, as dysfunctional one at that. I laughed and said, “That’s because that’s what we are!” We’re all hurting, broken, searching for something, and desiring to belong somewhere. Our church is [...]

3 years ago today…

2008 was a very difficult year for me. This time back then I didn’t want to get out of bed. My friends were so good to me. They’re still so good to me. I read the following post and feel all emotional. I remember the pain so clearly, yet it’s a memory. As I sit [...]

New Baby!!!!

I truly believe that I am one of the most blessed people to ever live. I am so serious. My sweet friend Jaime had a baby last night. I went to go see him today. Another friend, Michelle, was with me. I told her that babies totally amaze me. I love them. I love holding [...]

A Mighty Fortress

Hymns. I find that as I get older I appreciate them more. I don’t always appreciate the actual music, but rather the content. Other times I like the whole package. Well, let me tell ya. A musician friend of mine recently finished a cover of A Mighty Fortress. He worked on it the entire month [...]

Great Day!!!

Today has been really great. I am so exhausted that I don’t have much to say so I’m just going to post one of my favorite pictures from today. This is my friend Tammy. She is compassionate and quick to laughter. She is sincere. She loves deeply and fully. I love how she loved me [...]

Full Days

Yesterday was a really hard day. I wrote about some of my struggles on my photography blog. We have a lot of rough days here in the Taylor Tribe; many of them end up with me totally annoyed & putting my kids to bed early just to get them out of my hair. Then I [...]

Monday

In general, I haven’t enjoyed Mondays. This one has been great, though. I think it’s because my Sunday was filled with friends, laughter, and good conversation. You know the kind of good I mean? I mean where two people are talking back and forth and hearing one another. Stirring up and calming down. Feeling vulnerable [...]

Good Friends & Good Food

It occurs to me only now that I should’ve taken a picture of the wonderful breakfast that my dear Ana made me. That’s not really her name, but it’s the name I’ve always loved her by. In my head I call her myana. Because she’s mine. Time & distance has separated us for a long [...]

Snow Day

Hold up! Didn’t the groundhog indicate that Spring would be here soon. I never trusted that guy! Last week it snowed a whole 3 inches therefore shutting down our little town in the Pacific Northwest. I was officially housebound, though not everybody was since half the town ended up at my house. Just kidding. It [...]

The Authoress & My Wandering Thoughts

Her eyes sparkle and she’s quick to laugh. She and her mom are funny and love each other greatly. It made me long for such a mom, but I’ll have to settle for trying to be like that. I am SO far from it, though. Her name is Christina Berry, her mom is Sherrie Ashcraft; [...]
