As I write this, I'm packing the last few things in my bag to head to the airport to take a trip that was originally planned for April 2020. I'm thinking a lot today about how things, including me, are different now. In the past, I would have been so excited the last few weeks as I prepared to...

It's hard for me to recognize it's already June. Our family celebrated 4 birthdays in May, with my daughter turning 21 yesterday, so here we are. So much to celebrate, yet at the same time so much heartache too. How it is that life includes such drastic contrasts? How do we keep moving on the...
