PLOT TWIST
Much like my initial Facebook post, I don’t know how to even start this. But just like that post, I’ll just say it. I have breast cancer. It’s gotten oddly easier to say over the last week since I got the news, while sitting at […]
TRUCK GIRL
I think I’ve written in the past about how I’m a truck girl. A pickup woman. Whatever. I’ve just driven trucks since I learned to drive. (Except for a short stint in high school when I drove a Ford Taurus.) At this point, its what […]
SPRING CLEANING
This is going to sound weird, perhaps. But for WEEKS I’ve been itching to clean my house. Frankly, we’ve just been too busy. Doing what, I’m not even sure. Busy being busy, I suppose. But every day I’d look around and think, “Man I’m ready […]

LISTENING TO LEARN
I haven’t posted a blog post since April. Three months not writing is pretty unheard of from me, but as much as I wanted to write time and time again I just couldn’t do it. Or in the few cases that I did sit down […]
ONE YEAR LATER
One year ago, tornadoes struck Middle Tennessee. And in many ways, it is on this day that life just stopped for Nashville. According to the Tennessean, “Ten tornadoes touched down across Tennessee in the late night hours of March 2 and into the early morning […]
