Newborn Fears

November 17, 2018 by Bryan Martin Leave a Comment

I caught myself today. I caught myself leaving for work, locking the door and checking the handle – 7 times. I pulled and pushed on the handle to make sure it was definitely locked. Then I pushed on the door itself.  “It’s locked”’ I said to myself. I walked down the hall to the stairs and paused. I felt sick to my stomach. I turned…

This Pink Anniversary

July 4, 2018 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

Today, Tuesday, is an anniversary of sorts for me. It isn’t an anniversary connected to Chuck, since it happened after he died. And yet, it is entirely connected to him. Because today is the day, 5 years ago, that I picked up my new Ford Escape from the garage, and the man, I’d taken it to after buying it from the dealer. I took it directly…

And What Are the Chances of That?

June 21, 2018 by Olivia Arnold Leave a Comment

Another school related story today. So much seems to come up at work. One more week and I’m on holidays though so this might be the last one for now! Our last unit in Math is on probability. The expectation for the grade ones is that they need to understand and identify scenarios that are certain, impossible, likely, and unlikely. Do you see…

I Cannot Be That Person

June 1, 2018 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

It is Thursday evening, and in the morning, around 7:30am, my boyfriend of almost one year, will be having surgery. It’s not life-threatening surgery or anything, (hernia operation) but my “sudden death widow anxiety brain” is screaming at me otherwise. I have been thinking about all of the things that could go wrong, thinking about sudden death,…

Book Anxiety

May 4, 2018 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

So, after about 3 and a half years or so of writing and not writing and then writing again, and then the last 6 months or so of REALLY doing a TON of writing and not being able to look at computer screens anymore because my eyes hurt so bad – I am finally finished writing my book. It is FINISHED!!!!  I handed it over to my editor 2 days ago, and…

My Bubble

October 5, 2017 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

I’m back in Kona after a whirlwind trip across two very large ponds. Being that it is 11 hours time difference between Hawaii and the UK, I am still suffering the lag, but it’s getting better. It was well worth it, both for time with my boyfriend’s family, and refreshing the spirit during a time of looming change in my reality. So now back to…

Coffee Rituals and the Unknown

March 19, 2017 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Early this morning, I woke up to the bed being empty next to me. It’s an ordinary Saturday, and I can hear Mike downstairs, tinkering around, packing up for a short backpacking trip. Eventually, I hear the stairs creak as he comes back up to the bedroom kiss me goodbye. These moments are always sensitive for me, since Drew left on a trip and never…

Pain

November 9, 2013 by Taryn Davis Leave a Comment

“Which do you want: the pain of staying where you are, or the pain of growth?”- Judith LasaterI know that pain is inevitable.   In a way, it is something to be looked forward to.   But, damn, it still hurts.   Causes stress.   Doubt.   Fear.   But like building muscles, we must first be broken down to have the ability to come back…

Sunday

November 13, 2011 by Daniel and Abel Cano-Saenz Leave a Comment

So this is the first occasion of my newly assigned day.  Sunday. A day of sun, as I see it, is a true blessing. For so many of us, worry, hardship, and the basic toll of life, can really bring us down. When the weekend is upon us, we tend to wonder how much we can get accomplished on Saturday, and how we want to spend a day of leisure on Sunday.

Security

September 22, 2011 by Amanda Wright Leave a Comment

Last week, I fell. Emotionally. Too many stressors on top of an already stressful life. …and then the person who keeps work flowing my way resigned. and I panicked.Because she is the only person in admin who gets it. But I met with her, and while she isn’t able to give me more long-term certainty, she moved mountains to keep me employed for…

Another What If.

September 19, 2011 by Daniel and Abel Cano-Saenz Leave a Comment

This past week I was experiencing some health problems. Of course it was an emotional week, as most of you are now aware of, so I was already feeling emotionally vulnerable. Like any time we are not feeling well, or are experiencing changes in our health without explanation, we begin to worry. Like any other man, I kept telling myself that it will…

Scared

September 8, 2011 by Amanda Wright Leave a Comment

This past week has been tough. Really tough. I was doing OK for a long while, surviving birthdays, parties and mother’s day … but this past week has brought me crashing down with a thud.There are many reasons for this – my son’s upcoming “procedure” and the worry over his ongoing health, my sister-in-law having some very scary health…
