Ever heard of that debilitating emotional ailment called Tryer’s Remorse? Probably not because I just made up that term. But the condition is not made up! It's real. My first bout with “Tryer’s Remorse” involved a cheerleading uniform and visions of grandeur. And I blogged about it over at (in)courage. (In)courage is sponsored by Day Spring and they've graciously allowed me to share some words at their place today! Would you help me thank the (in)courage team by sharing the link on your … [Read more...]
Confessions of a Creative Punctuator

You know that sick feeling after you've sent an important email and realized that … [Read more...]
Solar System Song
There’s something about little boys that just makes me smile, no matter how ornery they are. Maybe it’s because I have three of my own. Whatever the reason, I find myself smiling again after a week’s worth of fourth grade science. In learning about the solar system there is just so much to remember.
