Stopping is next to impossible. Even if we can get our bodies to stop moving for a bit, our minds don’t know how to turn off. What happens if we intentionally put ourselves in an environment that helps facilitate stopping. Where do you need to go? How long do you think it would take you to get to the point of being able to breathe a single cleansing breath, to feel any sort of release, to just sit with yourself? How do we pursue these needs and support one another in the process? Beginning to Detect Self.

Just because I wasn’t scared doesn’t mean the experience wasn’t traumatic. For the last three years, on December 10, I have found myself overcome with emotional-ness. It’s my son’s birthday. The anniversary of my becoming a mother. The celebration of becoming a family of three. Nine years ago he entered our lives on his own crazy schedule two months before he was supposed to. One week later around 3:30pm my water broke. When your water breaks you can’t stop labor. You have to have a baby. On a Fr...He wa...

I sent a few photos to CJ and her response was simply ‘do whatever is best’ and she means it. The last few days are a blur. Funeral home, church, catering, flower shop, clothes shopping, travelers, slide shows, family relations. My only exception is CJ. We’re in this together. We have been the whole time. That’s not changing now&#...I said to my stepdad ...

This morning we went to church. Where my dad played drums in the praise band until he couldn’t. With the people who have loved on my family through this whole ordeal. With people that my dad has directly impacted. Then a visit to the funeral home to finalize casket and cremation and viewing and cost details. I went shopping for a bit. Alone for the first time. When I got back, I offered to fill out the last of the paperwork for the funeral home. Information for my dads death certificate. The sun comes up.

This time last year was tough. Things are pretty good now. Life just keeps going. A day at a time, a week at a time, a month or more at a time. The sun keeps coming up and I’m expected to keep participating. I’ve been doing better at that. I think part of what my kids are observing is the rush of the season. In our house, beginning in late November, we have my birthday, Thanksgiving, dad’s birthday, brother’s birthday, THEN Xmas. Not to mention a gaggle of family and close friend birt...Start until after...

A large project is off my plate at work, after way too many hours spent on it. I’m holding myself to the schedule agreed to when I started working again – this extra 45 minutes a day in the office adds up, but not worth the sanity I’m losing over the rush to get home. I bought two bottles of wine on the way home this afternoon – one already chilled, and it was all I could do to not pop it open in the driveway and drink from the bottle. Vacation is only TWO weeks away! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter yo...

Month: May, 2015. I had a meeting get bumped up this evening, so I went straight from the office instead of going home, then heading back downtown. I got home at 820 and loved on the kids for a bit, a slow bedtime. I told him that I miss him during the day, and his response was, ‘me, too.’. He is my best boy. Why are you here? Nope, not really. You are valued –. In a certain way. You are needed –. In a certain way. No one is asking you to kill yourself for the sake of anything. And i’m tired of it. Chang...

Over a year since I’ve posted. What a shit storm it’s been. For the most part it’s just because of too many other things going on. Well, that’s not true; it’s been because of my job. I hate admitting that. But I’m writing now, so, there…right? What a gift to have a brain surgeon who didn’t try to be Superman. Didn’t go for a statistic of resection percentage, but steal my dad without notice, as the cost of the badge. I don’t know how long we’re going to have with Dad. That’s okay. 01/05/2015 at 9:24 pm.
