overwhelmed – Joyful Healing, Dogs and Quilts

Mom by Love

She is on a plane and heading home to Oregon. I am so sad and feeling very alone tonight. I can barely contain my tears but it isn’t the time or place to fall apart. Tears will come in time and when I feel safe to express them. And I am worried. Where she isContinue reading “Mom by Love”

Husband has been ill all week so I may goContinue reading “Chaos with a side of order day two”
