I'm big on asking for signs. Real big. Maybe because I know my prayers are heard (yours are, too.) And lately I've asked for a lot. Because I have big stuff happening, and I've been real nervous. Antsy. Second guessing every decision, wondering if I'm really on the right path because nothing seems to go …
Scavenger Hunt for Bored Kids
I don't know about you, but my kids are aggressive psycho lunatics if they consume too many electronics. By electronics, I mean television, tablets, video games, Minecraft, Netflix, youtube, or anything else that stabs their brains with jingly noise and flash images. Even those "learning" games. DIRECT correlation. The more they consume, the bigger jerks they are. And the …
Heaven Sends a Greeting Card.
Last Sunday evening, Christopher and I watched "The Road" on Netflix. It's not exactly a "feel-good" movie (like, at all), so when loving peace BURST, then spread through my chest cavity mid-film, I felt momentarily confused. This rare, beautiful feeling literally overtakes. It wholly consumes. And I looked slyly to Christopher, because I always wonder, …
Goodbye Walter, Hello Ghost.
So. We had an 'occurrence' this week I feel worth mentioning. Christopher and I finally finished "Breaking Bad" after a two year investment. A very emotional investment, I'll add. With heavy hearts, we said good-bye to the White family, kissed, killed the lights, and went to bed. Well, he went to bed. I stayed downstairs …
Deceased Loved Ones: Stephen
I've dreaded this post, because I knew this entry had to be about Stephen. And I fear failing to convey what happened. How it felt. How it still feels. *** We stayed with my friend Angie before flying to London, Labor Day weekend. Not only was my family there, but her brother-in-law, Stephen, was there, …
Nacho Love
For the most part, I'm a purist. No snickering, college friends. Hear me out. These days I eat clean, I really do. I avoid processed foods and medicine. I exercise. I make my own hummus and use aluminum free deodorant (yes, that annoying person). But this here's confession. You know that plastic cheese? The kind …
The Devil Inside
Watched "The Devil Inside" on Netflix last night. And . . . OH MY GOD. Have you seen this movie? Christopher and I clutched in a white-knuckle cuddle grip the whole time! I must've held my breath thru the film too, because my chest felt restricted by normal respiration once it finished. Fairly sure I …
Post Your Happy!
People of the planet! I'm creating a giant, (geographically correct) wall of HAPPY and I NEED YOU! Yes, you! You there, sitting on the couch! You at work! You on the front porch! Irish! Sri Lankans! New Yorkers! Russians! Africans! South Dakotans! Londoners! Alsatians! You, taking a coffee break! You, on the toilet! (you shouldn't use …
House is at it. Again.
I'm gonna make this short. The house is acting up again. Last week, I woke to someone scurrying into my room. I thought it was one of the kids, because of the scuttling pitter-patter of someone low to the ground. "Sophia?" I sat up quickly, sleepy. And then I got this feeling, this really horrible feeling, …
Open Letter to Doug Harrison
Well, it's time. Our episode of "My Ghost Story" airs tomorrow night on A&E's Bio channel 8pm CST. You'll see why I write the creepy stuff I do. I myself won't get to watch it. I'm away this weekend because some kind stranger gifted me a getaway when they learned I was laid off....oh wait. …
