Picture worth a thousand words

For those that know me, my daughter, and the relationship we have .. you know that this picture speaks volumes to me!

October is Select Mutism Awarness month. When something means a lot to me, I shout it to the world! Learn about it, talk about it! Don't stick you head in the sand.. BTDT doesn't work. I've done a lot of work, and have been published. For this I am proud, for every child should be heard! 

More on this and our journey on my other blog.. please visit and show your support!

What a great sport coach Brian is! These boys are lucky to have a coach that is firm, but fair. Fun, but instills a hard working attitude. And above all a commitment that shows what hard work can achieve. Gladstone United.. 

These boys are fierce, hardworking, competitive, and oh so goofy! 

Don't look back

The place I've come from haunts me
Taunts me with it's sunny path

My decision made I stumble forward
knowing it's the right path
rocky and treacherous as it may be

I no longer look for signs
instead I pray my intuition guides me
through thorns, boulders, and hopeless pits

A place promised to me
I know it's there, I feel it pulling
padding my falls, healing my wounds

This path was made just for I
to mold me to whom I'm yet to be
Strong, fearless, and patient

The past will always haunt me
But only I can let it hurt

So deal with it!

Swamp of Sadness

"Artax, you're sinking!" Oh God, make it stop! *


Life is hard not knowing which roads to look down, let alone traverse. Knowing God is with me helps, but it's hard to focus on the present like he asks when my mind trips me up. Staying focused when so many lives are dependent is difficult. Jumping from one obstacle to the other it's easy to trip fall and get stuck! Easy to let myself give up and fall into the mud (swamp of sadness *). But God keeps coming to rescue me over and over again! Thank you Father!
