A Moment Between Mothers

August 20, 2014 By Wendy 3 Comments

Someday, I will be the old woman who walks up to an overwhelmed mother in a parking lot as she juggles two small children, bags of groceries and a cart that won’t stay put.  I won’t notice that she has broken a sweat, but rather how beautiful it is that her rosy-cheeked, teething baby is sleeping peacefully against…

June 15, 2014 By Wendy 14 Comments

This post was brought to you by Best Buy. It’s hard to believe that back when I started college for the first time, I carried a pager. Yes, a pager. It was kind of obnoxious, but it kept me connected and at that time, everyone had one. By the time I graduated with my BA,…

Wordless Wednesday: The challenges of this new life

August 28, 2013 By Wendy 1 Comment

Life is different now. Every day, I make a list. At the end of every day, I find myself frustrated by all the things left on it. I’m failing. Work is piling up. Mail is piling up. Emails need to be answered. And the vegetables don’t wait. As I stand by my sink, snipping the…

July 14, 2013 By Wendy 3 Comments

(If you missed Part 1, read it here.) You’ve gotta understand…this is about so much more than my job. This whole identity thing, the anxiety, the depression, the stupor, the disconnectedness…it’s huge.
