Please pray for the owner of this pacifier and his/her mom/dad. It was on the floor in the middle of SEA airport. I’ve been That Mother who found herself on a cross-country flight with a tired baby and a missing pacifier. Not pretty. That was the flight where we were delayed and sat on the tarmac for two hours before departing on a six hour flight. The woman behind me tapped me on the shoulder mid flight and said, “I’m sure this is hard for you, but ISN’T THERE SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TO MAKE HIM STOP CRYING?!” I’ve never come so close to punching someone in the face. But let’s just say I “used my words” 👍🏻😆😡 So when I saw this lone pacifier on the floor and no stroller or small person to be seen, I began to pray. Lord willing, they just landed and are on their way home. Or that mother had a backup in her diaper bag 😬
The Sun - Mary Oliver Have you ever seen anything in your life more wonderful then the way the sun, every evening, relaxed and easy, floats toward the horizon and into the clouds or the hills, or the rumpled sea, and is gone - and how it slides again out of the blackness, every morning, on the other side of the world, like a red flower streaming upward on its heavenly oils, say, on a morning in early summer, at its perfect imperial distance - and have you ever felt for anything such wild love - do you think there is anywhere, in any language a word billowing enough for the pleasure that fills you as the sun reaches out, as it warms you as you stand there, empty-handed - or have you too turned from this world - or have you too gone crazy for power, for things? #maryoliverpoetry #poem #sunshine
Hard at work? Or hardly working? Hosting The Flourishing Foster Parent Coaching Calls is a highlight of my week. Man, do I love what I do!
Remember my daughter’s red boots, which had to be retired last fall? (I’ve included images of those in this series). Well, LOOK WHAT I FOUND AT @valuevillage_thrift LAST NIGHT! These are brand new, never worn, still have the balled up paper in the toes. My daughter was so delighted! But so was her 5yo brother 😳 So now they have a shared custody agreement. She gets to wear them Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and every other Sunday. He gets first dibs Monday, Wednesday, Friday and every other Sunday. 😂😆🤷🏻‍♀️ What a find! #thrifting #valuevillage
