I finally heard from the one that fell off the radar, but only long enough for her to tell me that she doesn’t want to hear from me again. I am both hurt and sad. Hurt because the conversations that she had with my husband were completely opposite of what she said to me. SadContinue reading “Enduring through silence”

Learning Old Lessons
In 2014-2015 I was knee-deep in dealing with the consequences of my son’s actions. There were many days in the courthouse. During that time, I was also part of a homeschool community. The families in this group were people I trusted with my struggles while we kept learning the details. By the time we wereContinue reading “Learning Old Lessons”
Training
For the last few months, I’ve been working out with a personal trainer. We just had our last session until school starts again… and I’m sitting here a day later in a profound state of gratitude to my trainer/friend/sister. My gains: strength on my weak side. more range of motion than I previously noticed. moreContinue reading “Training”
March Check In
I’m alive… in case you were wondering. This month threw some surprises at us. 2 of our boys were reunited with family a lot sooner and by complete shock to all involved. After the caseworker explained the reasoning, I’m hoping it goes well. Our other boy’s case plan is once again delayed. So, he getsContinue reading “March Check In”

Before moving forward…
Before sharing my New Year’s journey… I first need to acknowledge the great blessing that our family received during the holidays. We’ve struggled the last little bit. We have all our essentials and we treat ourselves to various things, so it’s not something we talked about or really worried about. But, we were not reallyContinue reading “Before moving forward…”
Just keep going… updated
Did you just sing that in Dory’s voice from Finding Nemo? That’s my intention for the year. To keep going especially when I don’t want to. Last year’s phrase was No U Turns. It was/is hard as all hell not to go back to the way I’ve always done something. I’ve learned that even theContinue reading “Just keep going… updated”
Birthday Bash
Cyclebar Village Meridian turned 5 years old last week. (October 27-28, 2021) To celebrate there were theme rides, guest cyclestars, killer soundtracks, and lots of riding. There were 10 rides between the 2 days. I rode 8 of those rides. One of those rides was with my husband and our weekly date night… for CBContinue reading “Birthday Bash”
Never Ending Battle
Yesterday’s open call ride and the very expected result has me questioning myself today. This is not a new battle for me. Whenever I “fail” I stumble. I question. I self sabotage. I do my best to disappear from those that were witnesses to my “failure”. It is a pattern I’m working to change. ThisContinue reading “Never Ending Battle”
Roaring Springs
Our reimbursement for the month is late by a lot. Sometimes, even as a foster parent instead of fighting for the kids in your care… you are fighting for your needs too. It took some leg work by the current case worker, but we finally got everything we were expecting. The case worker came byContinue reading “Roaring Springs”
