Keep choosing joy!
Read more: Keep choosing joy!We stopped by our old house to clean up. The past couple of days since we moved have been emotional. This was the first home we bought and literally built from the ground up when we first moved to Saint Louis. It will forever hold a special place in my heart especially given the pandemic.…

Keep being icy trees!
Read more: Keep being icy trees!2021 started with icy rain. The intensity of the rain seemed to have it’s greatest impact on the the trees around our house. They were full of ice. Almost all the tree crown turned into ice. As I looked at them, I couldn’t help but imagine how trees survive freezing, icy rain. It’s probably the…

Keep rolling again and again!
Read more: Keep rolling again and again!I never planned to keep writing. I only wanted to chronicle my silence plus survival as a wife to a frontline worker and a mother to three homeschooled children in the middle of a global pandemic. 2020 was a tough year and making sense of it my way, was paramount to me. A necessity even,…

Keep struggling eloquently!
Read more: Keep struggling eloquently!I recently asked my kids what they would like to do in the New Year that they have never done before. My 8 year old daughter would love to plant a garden in our new home. My six year old son wishes to stop crying. While my three year old son, simply wants to keep…

Keep the lens of children!
Read more: Keep the lens of children!Imagine seeing the world from the lens of children, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel or even listening to what they listen to. I have been doing so for the past couple of days with my children. There have been screaming with tablets that won’t load or are dead. Watching intently whether snow…

Keep representation!
Read more: Keep representation!When the church gives you something to feel and think about, it’s a valuable thing. Take for example, our visit to Saint Matthew the Apostle, our church yesterday. Due to the pandemic, we could not celebrate Christmas at our church as we would. But during our private baptism ceremony yesterday, I was reminded about why…

Keep being light!
Read more: Keep being light!We baptized our baby boy today in church. It was a small ceremony but perfect for our baby. Our priest was a delight and made the ceremony a thing of pure joy. To welcome a child to the church is a big deal in my family. Covid may have derailed how we usually celebrate this…

Keep being determined and confident!
Read more: Keep being determined and confident!Imagine getting a daily reminder or even a command to be determined and confident. Yesterday during my daily devotional, these words from the book of Joshua, Chapter 1v9 stirred something in me: ‘remember I have commanded you to be determined and confident.’ For background, Moses was dead and God asked Joshua to lead the people…

Keep small beginnings in mind!
Read more: Keep small beginnings in mind!I love beginnings. They are often not sterling at first but when you look back they can be so brilliant. Like the beginning with my mother in-law. She celebrated her 76th birthday on Christmas mass eve. We celebrated it yesterday. As I took pictures of her, I reminisced a little of how we first met,…

Keep simple
Read more: Keep simpleWe kept things simple today. Kids woke early, took their bath and wore their Christmas pjs. We all wore our pjs. Since the pandemic, my middle son has been wearing only his pjs. It’s the only thing that makes sense to him since we were home all day anyways. I used to plead with him…

Keep two men and a truck in mind with moving!
Read more: Keep two men and a truck in mind with moving!The idea of two men and a truck is simply stunning to me. The name, the concept, reminds me of the book Made to Stick, or why some ideas die while others survive. Two men and a truck is sticky because the concept is understandable, memorable, even effective with convincing every day people the 2…

Keep believing in your dreams!
Read more: Keep believing in your dreams!After 10 months of planning, my family and I moved to our new home yesterday. The start of the week was anxiety filled but by the time our two men and a truck helped move us from the old home to the new home, the anxiety I was feeling started to dissipate. In it’s place…
