Follow the Yellow Brick Road

November 11, 2018 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

This past weekend Mike and I attended Camp Widow Toronto. We helped out with a lot of things this year, from leading panel discussions and groups, to building the enormous sign of HOPE for the banquet and working with Michele to plan the message release around it. I also hosted my creative workshop again, for the second year, which was an…

A Real Page Turner

October 23, 2018 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

I’m 38 today.  Eight years since 30, 2 years until 40.  Is it supposed to be surreal? Am I truly supposed to feel like I’m getting older?  I guess I’m considered middle-aged, or “getting up in the years”.  But, do I feet like I’m anywhere near the end of the story? I don’t.  I don’t feel old or long in the tooth.  Sure, my back…

Clearing the Debris

January 21, 2018 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

While we were down in my hometown last week for a wedding, we managed to get out for a few hours one morning to make the drive out to Rockport. If you’ll recall, this little coastal town got the brunt of hurricane Harvey last year. I will never forget sitting in bed at 2am, watching the TV in horror from 1400 miles away as one of my favorite…

The Journey of a Life

January 22, 2017 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

  There are days that make you look at the places you are arriving more than the ones you are leaving behind. Mike and I spent most of the afternoon yesterday out hiking. It was the first warm, sunny day we’ve had in ages in Ohio… and it put me in an especially grateful mood just to be existing and feeling the sunshine. We went to a big…

The Winds of You

June 19, 2016 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

This past week, I dug up all my old journals from boxes and drawers to photograph for my grief e-course I am building. In the course, we will spend a week writing about our grief, and so I decided to go back through my own journals to look for examples of some of the raw emotions I have captured since this journey began.  One of the things we talk…
