For weeks, okay months, I have struggled with this deep gut feeling. It sits in the pit of my stomach and reaches up to my heart, where it rests. I call it loneliness, it feels like emptiness. A hollowness in my soul that no one will ever see me; no one will ever connect with [...]
It has been awhile since I have written a lessons post. I thought a new year would be a good time to reflect on what I have re-learned or learned or remembered from this past year. I am going to use this look back as a guide to help my way forward this year. First [...]
A few weeks ago, my oldest son was explaining how he beat the hard mode in Terraria. For me, listening to how these games are played, even though I have watched them, is complicated, to say the least. Basically, Terraria is a game where you can dig, build, and fight. You work through different biomes [...]
Several years ago I started to disarm myself. Piece by piece I set down my armor. I came out of hiding and decided in order to live fully I must be seen fully. That is why I started this blog and even named it "afourytale" - a fairy tale; four kids - a..four..ytale...get it. I [...]
My heart is heavy tonight as I write my life lessons post for late June/half way through July, but I still felt this need to write so here I am. I am going to start with the heavy. We need to pray people... France, Dallas, Baton Rouge, the whole globe. We need to take a [...]
So I haven't done a lessons post in awhile; I worry they are too preachy. I worry a lot. But you already know that. But I figured there are some things going on in my head these days that I have found a tad helpful that you might like to hear, too. 1. I am a [...]
This post shows how friendship and Big Magic helped me see that just because I exist I am worthy.
You scan Facebook to see what's going on with family and friends and you notice your friends are celebrating your friend's birthday and it hits you that you aren't there...you were never invited. It shouldn't matter, but it hurts a little any way learning where you stand with people. Yesterday I wrote that 2016 is [...]
My friend, Katrina, is to put it mildly...amazing. She recently attended a writing retreat where she was asked to write about a life changing experience/person and she chose to write about a reading she had with me. I thought it might be interesting for you to read about a reading from the other side of [...]
Did you miss me? I know you did; I know you could barely stand the suspense I have built being on hiatus this past little while. I should be at a reading tonight, but I am sick. I am 37 sick, which is different from 25 sick. 25 sick you can pop some DayQuil and [...]
It's been awhile I know. There is a lot happening in our fourytale lives. So much learning going on it is enough to make my head spin. In my quest to the best possible adult I can be (so that I set an example for my children; walk the walk and all that jazz) and [...]
"The best kind of people are the ones that come into your life and make you see sun where you once saw clouds. The people that believe in you so much, you start to believe in you too. The people that love your simply for being you. The once in a lifetime kind of [...]
Cheer Day 7 is dedicated to Sonya. Sonya is the mom of two littles. We met several years ago when our daughters started dance class together. Sonya is always, always kind, compassionate and she rarely ever complains. A couple of months ago she needed to ask a favor, something she also rarely does. In [...]
Cheer Day 6 is dedicated to Jolanta. She was nominated by her dear friend, Bettina. Bettina took a moment to share why she thought Jolanta should be one of this year's nominees. Jolanta recently separated. "Knowing she had to take this step to head into the right direction in life was surely hard. But Jola [...]
I guess the good thing you guys is that I am learning something here. Slowly, oh so slowly these lessons are sinking in and leaving me a stronger, wiser human. Not to say I am not making some of the same mistakes twice, I am human after all, but I catch myself in the mistake [...]
