My husband and I are HUGE movie fans. When we started dating, over twenty-five years ago, movies were one of our favorite outings together. We would watch a movie and stay up late, discussing all aspects of the story. During the first few years of our marriage, we went to the Sunday matinee almost every [...]

I read a devotion today that included a quote from Polish rabbi, Simcha Bunin. Rabbi Bunin said, "Everyone should keep a note in each of their pockets. When feeling slightly full of yourself, you'd pull out the note from your left pocket, which would say, 'I am nothing but dust and ashes.' But when feeling [...]

"This must be the end. This is how I go." These are the thoughts that went through my mind as my chest clenched and the pain shot across my shoulders. "Just breathe. Take slow breaths in and out. It's just anxiety. I'm fine. Everything is fine." Except it's not. Anxiety is a badge of honor [...]

Tamara Lexow here again. Some of you may know that I am a suicide survivor. When I was nineteen years old, my mom took her own life; leaving me, an only child, to deal with the grief. My dad had recently left us, and I felt very alone. For a long time, I didn't want [...]

Just Show Up – A Mother’s Journey (Guest Post)

By |2020-09-08T15:12:34-07:00September 9th, 2020|Blog|

Hello all of you beautiful souls.  Yes, I know, I've been silent. I will not give excuses. With this season of COVID I think we all have our reasons why we are failing in some areas and hopefully excelling (or beginning to) in other areas. I had a slight job addition. I still am strong [...]

Just Show Up – Imprisoned

I'm back! (Insert whatever evil, wicked, face you can see, hands together, fingers steepled, belching out a horrendous laugh...) ;) Wicked, evil, horrible. These are words I've heard were said in association with my name in the past year. Why? Because I chose to make decisions in my life, and set boundaries that the few [...]

I'm in the process of MOVING to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area!
