Wanderlust – A little bit of everything…
https://adoptiongraceandlife.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/wanderlust
A little bit of everything…. Thoughts on adoption, grace and life…. August 5, 2015. I’ve always been a little bit restless. I blame this on my youthful (right? Zeal to do something big for God. But I had a dream the other night that I ran away from it all. Like off-the-grid, nobody-knows-where-I-am away. Because it would be super-easy to raise kids in the middle of the woods with no electricity and only a hatchet and a cooking pot to my name. I know this is part of the restlessness too. Tonight I will si...

ABC, Adoption & Me: A Multicultural Picture Book for Children. Gayle’s Blog: Writing to Connect. Puddle Jumping to Fun and Connection. June 15, 2015. This is Florida. Supposedly the rainy season started–by the calendar–but not according to Mother Nature. She’s been downright stingy with the rain so far this season. We search the sky for a well-needed shower and pray for the freshness of a cool rain. Come On, Rain. Come On, Rain. Too hard to wait? Perhaps water balloons or squirt guns will do the trick.

Transracial parenting: that time my boss used a racial slur

Transracial Parenting: that time my boss used a racial slur. Transracial Parenting: that time my boss used a racial slur. July 2, 2015. Did I ever tell you about that time I quit my job because my boss used a racial slur? Probably because I was, in a way, trying to protect him. You see, I know. He didn’t really mean it. He honestly thought he was being funny. Really. He was in a room full of white women, who knew that he was kidding, so no harm, right? Was that I should call my son this racial slur.

Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Paying Expenses in a Potential Adoption Situation. Recently, I've seen paying expenses being questioned and discussed on several adoption Facebook groups. Here's how we feel (and why):. We do not pay expenses. When I say expenses, I mean rent, utility bills, car payments, cell phone bills, clothing, etc.). Okay, so you have all these issues with paying expenses, but what am I supposed to do? Second, use an agency that has a pooled fund for expectant parent expenses. Some agenci...

simonpoetically: THE MISSING FACE
http://simonpoetically.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-missing.html
Poetry is what surrounds you, the air you breath, the the golden sunset you see, the chirping birds you hear, yet the wind that blows off your clothes such that we see your naked mind. WHAT COULD’VE BEEN. Today, in a bus home, I sat next to a gentle lady By all signs she has aged gracefully I watched her swipe through her smart phone . THE WITCH IN THE MOONLIGHT. She has bewitched him; the witch Who dances naked in the moonlight He now speaks to shadows Telling them how he loved her Ho. DIARY OF A HARLOT.

Phantom Kicks: Sibling Relationships

I'm a Christian Mother, Wife and Doctor, loving my life and yet still longing for more; journaling in faith, and hoping this helps you too. Suffering is one of the universal conditions of being alive. We all suffer. We have become terribly vulnerable, not because we suffer, but because we have separated ourselves from each other." - Rachel Naoimi Remen. What are Phantom Kicks? Wednesday, March 18, 2015. Brother let me be your fortress. When the night winds are driving on. Be the one to light the way.
