Every time I buy a book, I delight in thinking I am helping support writers, without whom the world would be quite bleak and narrow. Before I go to bed each night, I read for up to an hour. I disconnect from all devices and find my way into another human being’s imagination. Reading and […] The post What I Read in 2024 appeared first on Our Stories Today ..read more

I have more questions than answers today, but wanted to touch base with you, my community. I know you may be feeling just as wobbly as I am. What do I say?

She loved being active and told me more than once after I excused myself to go to bed, “you can sleep when you’re dead.” According to my dad, she met Grandpa in a speakeasy where they (I like to imagine) danced the night away.

The new year is a time of reflection for me. I look back over the past year, think about the life I am currently living and consider what I want to improve. I don’t make resolutions, but I do spend time thinking about the meaning I want to give my existence and what I hope to leave behind. My children gifted Rob and I with a Storyworth subscription. Rob and I gifted his father and mine with Storyworth as well. The way this gift works is we each answer a question each week and then at the end of the year receive a copy of our life story. So far I am enjoying the process and telling stories abou ..read more

The Medical Incident: In early December I flew back east to spend time with my older daughter, Hannah who was 32 weeks pregnant with twins. She has had a tough pregnancy. I spent the week caring for my daughter as well as lending a hand with my granddaughter, Ellie. I told my husband how grateful I was for this time. It’s rare that I get to spend a few days just focusing on Hannah and I enjoyed every second. Unfortunately, Hannah began to feel ill again. One day, she was just very tired, the next day she was vomiting bile because of high liver values, cholestatis. Her OB wanted her to be obser ..read more
