I came across a word that I did not know. I could understand the meaning in the context of the sentence, but, if asked, I could not give a definition. I asked my husband. “No, I don’t know that one.” We looked it up together, and we found the meaning of “erudite” (having or showing…

Take a long walk
Usually when you go to the beach, you are with family so you are taking adventures as a group, planning the next meal, and reigning in small children. The long walks on the beach as a couple or alone have been filled with noticing and wonder! We woke up to a windy morning that made…
Lord, prop me up on my leaning side…
Sunday at the beach is always a special day. Whether you worship on the beach, in the quiet of the morning with your coffee in a comfy chair, or you find a place of worship close by. We researched nearby churches and found Fair Haven Methodist Church. We decided to go! Oh how beautiful and…
What a difference a day makes!
Our first sunrise morning at Summerwinds in Rodanthe, NC. I had been up since 5:00 a.m. drinking coffee and reading. Ah! Coffee in a great mug! Yes! I will create today! I decided to walk to the beach to watch the sunrise. Be in the moment. God be in this day. About 15 minutes into…

The location allows for unique work schedules and college students to attend. Close to home but far enough into the woods to have a weekend with God’s beautiful world. Yesterday, my mind…
Let My Life Praise You
Here we are in this space and time, Anna. Today you celebrate 56 years! WOW! As my aunt Adell would say, “You go girl!” If Brene Brown was interviewing me, she would ask me a question that she asks of all her guests at the beginning of her interviews on “Unlocking Us”. Tell us your…
Co-regulation and Connection
Attending the Advancing School Mental Health Conference, I was reminded of the importance of co-regulation.We teach our children how to self-regulate through co-regulation. When we provide connection, warmth, a safe environment, and consistent teaching, our children will learn over time how to self-regulate in a positive way. This dance is timeless. As we grow older,…
Wind Beneath My Wings
As I’ve grown older and moved through so many transitions and phases of motherhood, I’m reflective and fascinated by the role of a mother in a child’s life. There are traditions, cultural responses, and generational patterns that cultivate and define motherhood that is unique to each family; yet, I do believe that some aspects transcend…
