We all have front rows seats each day to some of the most amazing things. It may not seem like it at the time, and often our view is blocked by all the everyday things that keep us from being present. These aren’t moments that go viral and may seem unimportant or so common that […]
I jumped off a cliff and so can you!
March 14, 2023 by
Well not really but it sure felt like it. It is true what they say. That first step is a doozy. In May of 2021 I submitted a blog post to Her View From Home and it was accepted for publication. Who knew hitting the send button on that one felt like jumping off a […]
Hanging out in my comfort zone
March 7, 2023 by
Honestly there is nothing better than hanging out in my comfort zone. For whatever reason the phrase or concept of “comfort zone” has gotten a bad rap. It has been characterized as a weak place to be, a place that is stagnant and no good for you. It’s as if it were a pool hall […]
Finding Comfort in the “in between”
February 28, 2023 by
We are in between houses. We sold our beloved but much too large home in May and moved to a temporary house that is stacked with furniture and boxes as we wait for our new house to be ready. On any given day we utter these words many times, often in frustration: “I can’t find_____________ […]
Before I was even a thought in their heart
February 21, 2023 by

These aren’t just hats…
February 14, 2023 by
The variety and number of hats took me by surprise. Mostly soft yellows, greens, blues and pinks. There were also bright neon colors and dark blues and grays. There were a few adult hats but mostly hats meant to fit tiny newborn heads. The consistency of the stitches soothed me visually and the softness of […]
Wait where am I?
February 7, 2023 by
Oh yes the familiar occurrence of going into a room and forgetting why I am there! I do believe it happens to everyone and especially today with so many distractions. Too many times I have gone to google something and ended up down the rabbit hole of news items or videos that I had no […]
The Rolls..we forgot the rolls!
November 24, 2022 by
I was working on a photo project and started looking for photos of the family cooking. More specifically I was looking for photos of my Mom cooking. As we prepared for Thanksgiving and looked for family recipes it suddenly occurred to me that this is the first Thanksgiving both my parents are gone. The many […]
I called and she picked up
September 6, 2022 by
I called and she picked up. I wasn’t sure if the number I had was her landline or her cell. If it was her cell it was a gamble as she often lost it or it wasn’t charged so when she picked up I smiled. Several times I told her who I was but two […]
