On the way to the beach yesterday to have breakfast, Parish shared that he had a song stuck in his head. “What is it?” I asked. “Neil Young, One of These Days.” I already had directions on, so I switched to find the song and played it. We sang the song together and then talked…

Precious Memories
Groundhog Day
Just before we left on vacation, Valentina and I discussed family dynamics. It doesn’t matter if you claim to be the Cleaver family from the 50s; we all have individuals in families that bring their current state of mind, personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. With my background in social work, my children have grown up with…
Hebb Family Thanksgiving 2022
Oh, how wonderful to gather and share food, laughter, and gratitude. This year’s menu was pretty much the same, yet the atmosphere seemed different. I’m not a big home decorator or cleaner. So, an event can take a few days on and off to get ready for. Some lifehacks that helped me this year to…
Until it all feels so small
“The thing that matters is never the thing itself, but rather, what we make of it. What we do with our patience, and our imagination. What we allow to thrive. Nothing is ever beyond repair. We break, we bleed, and we begin again. Trust can be mended. Love can be restored. New shoots can flourish,…

After her competition, we celebrated my mother-in-law’s birthday at Tang and Biscuit in Richmond. A sweet day of memories. I was deeply touched by the families who came out to socialize and play. Little…
Koste Classic Manchester
I remember Pete Koste during my school social work days in CCPS. He was a principal that believed in the power of building relationships with students. The times I spent there supporting students and staff during critical incidents flooded my mind as we sat in the auditorium to watch another show choir event. May we…
More Joy
My last post on creating space for joy has made me ever aware of the opportunities to experience joy. The other morning I was listening to “House of the Lord” by Phil Wickham. I’ve shared the video below, and I am listening to this song again as I write! This is one of my favorite…
Way to go Aaron Donald!
Good morning! That’s what time it is for me as I write and feel the cool air and the birds singing. I have been wanting to write this post since Super Bowl Sunday. My husband and I typically do something else on this day. We will go to a museum, out to eat, or watch…
The most love
Counting our blessings and practicing gratitude can give rise to joy and connection. We all have seen the benefits of a pause and noticing. We journal, pray, and offer thanks. In the morning, I listen to the Pray as you go app. On January 29, the question was asked, “Ask God to show you a…
