MY INSTA-HAPPENINGS

How do you like to go up in a swing,    Up in How do you like to go up in a swing,    Up in the air so blue? Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing    Ever a child can do! Up in the air and over the wall,    Till I can see so wide, Rivers and trees and cattle and all    Over the countryside— Till I look down on the garden green,    Down on the roof so brown— Up in the air I go flying again,    Up in the air and down! The Swing by Robert Louis Stevenson The older my kids get the more important it is to find a park with good swings, it’s the last joy of this awkward middle part of childhood that I want to savor for as long as I can. Our brains still need the movement, the quiet, the cool breeze, the joy of dappled sunlight through a mighty oak tree. A part of my daily productivity schedule (thank you @donaldmiller) is documenting the things “I get to do.” It focuses my time and helps me present. Yesterday, it was reading with my son after school. Reading is one of the joys of my work. I love any book that sucks you in and won’t let go.
“The best gift you can ever give your children i “The best gift you can ever give your children is a sibling.” -Dr. Winters (Ndjerareou family doctor when Sophia was a baby.) I thought about this phrase for years as we struggled to grow our family. Each baby in our family is a miracle, we love to celebrate these precious little ones, it was extra special since early labor and Covid kept us all from celebrating my nephew. This moment has been an answer to prayer in many ways. Happy Hour Baby Shower for baby Wollschlager was a smashing success. What a sweet way to gather and celebrate love and new life. Thank you @jwollsch @movingwithmak for making this moment so memorable. We love you @kacalligraphydesign

The most important person in the arts, is not the The most important person in the arts, is not the artist, but the second person to believe in a dream. -Abraham Alexander Thankful for this intimate conversation with a talented artist @abrahamalexander @arthousedallas and @drewshirley The story behind the music deepens my appreciation for the gorgeous lyrics and sound. “Born in Greece to parents of Nigerian descent, Abraham Alexander moved to Texas with his family at age 11, determined to escape the racial tensions they faced in Athens. And while his lyrics speak to pain and trauma and life-changing loss, Alexander instills his music with a joyful passion and irrepressible spirit, ultimately giving way to songs that radiate undeniable hope.” Artist Curtis Derall Ferguson’s @masterpiece9548 work was on exhibit at the Umbrella Gallery at Life in Deep Ellum. Thank you to everyone who made this night possible.
As a mother, I’m constantly being humbled by my As a mother, I’m constantly being humbled by my inadequacies, limits, and mistakes. But my productivity doesn’t define my identity. I’m a mother, wife, aunt, friend, and sister each and everyday. So why do I struggle to call myself a writer if I don’t get words on the page? I consistently strive to find my identity in my passion and my purpose, not my abilities, those ebb and flow with the tide. Today I’m enough, tomorrow is a new day a chance to begin again.
