A Space for Grace
Years ago, when my boys were young and into finding secret places, they did just that. Many imaginary scenarios played out in the secret place tucked behind the eaves of our cape cod house. There was just enough room for little boys to crawl from here to there. What I...
Amazing Joy on the Heels of Grief
Life is tricky. The path from getting here to there is not how we imagine it the majority of the time. Our journey leads us through a joy beyond what we know but also drags us through valleys of grief. Over the last month, life has hung in a place between heart...
Between the Shadows and the Light
