I was recently discussing the current status of the United States with someone. He was offering a litany of things wrong in America today. It resembled what you might hear on the evening news. Issue after issue, crisis upon crisis. And he wasn’t wrong—all of the example he gave happened and are terrible. America isn’tContinue reading “What You Don’t See on the News”

I went to a beautiful rosary last night. When they invited friends and family up to speak, a man said “the best thing you can put on a child is your shadow.” Man, isn’t that true. I think back to my own childhood and what I remember is the time my parents invested in me.Continue reading “Put Your Shadow on Them”

Someone recently asked me what I most hoped to teach my children. There are so many things, aren’t there? How to pull a baby lamb and saddle a horse and water ski. How to pick up after themselves (soon please!!), be winners, and have the confidence to speak to a crowd. How to spot someoneContinue reading “Love Well”

When I became friends with my law school bestie, Brett, I didn’t know his family would basically adopt me as well. I’ve got so many memories of nights at his parents’ house, games at The Pit, dinners at Pelican. They had me over the night before I sat for the bar exam. Mike and MargoContinue reading “Remembering Mike”

I’m so grateful for my twenties when I did things like hop a plane on 24 hours notice to watch an OSU game and drink a limee at the Penny. I’ll remember drinkingContinue reading “Always Up for an Adventure”

As I was watching Braun walk into kindergarten yesterday, I couldn’t help but smile. Two weeks into school, and I had seen him head in that door one day with a Hobbs Show Lamb shirt and another day with a Foscalina Club Lambs cap. Most people at his little a school won’t know who theseContinue reading “Adults in Your Corner”

I’m not sure I could have written a more fun summer story. For someone who loves adventure and has a touch of wanderlust, it was just what I needed after 2020. The best part was discovering my two little adventurers love traveling too and taking them along. Here is Part 1 of our summer recap.Continue reading “Summer Recap 2021 – Part 1”

My friend named Ron has a hard life. Most days he stands on his corner with a sign asking for help. That’s where I met him. For two years now, I’ve stopped when I see him to say hi. I always make it a point to call him by name and to tell him IContinue reading “Leftover Strawberries”
