I found out what MW means: moi! I guess I need to teach that boy French (or at least French spelling).

For fifteen years, @incourage has been a home for the hearts of women around the world. It’s been a home for my heart too.

Each year, the contributors go on a retreat together (thank you, @dayspringcards!). It’s a brilliant plan, really: we spend time face-to-face (geographically, we’re across the US, Canada, and Iceland), building relationships that carry us through hard times. Then we “go first” sharing our stories with you.

I love these ladies!

Super thankful to get home safely last night (& on our way to see @seanofthesouth tonight!). On my final flight, our plane was struck by lightning. I was engrossed in a book on my kindle and never lowered the window covering, so I saw it hit the wing out of the corner of my eye. We heard a big pop and everyone gasped, yelled, whatever, but then started talking again. Most of the windows were down and people didn’t know what happened. I started praying and paid attention to see if the plane felt funny, but it didn’t.

When we landed, they said we should thank the pilot for getting us safely through the storm. I asked the two flight attendants at the exit if we’d been hit, and they confirmed it. I seemed to be the only passenger who knew it. 😳

Breaking bread together involves more than eating;

Breaking bread together involves more than eating; it’s about serving people and spending time with them. It’s about slowing down, sharing stories, and savoring food and fellowship. You don’t need to throw a fancy dinner party (although you certainly can if you’re able and enjoy it).

But all you really need to do is just open your circle a little wider. Pull up an extra chair to the table.

Please join me today @incourage for The Ministry of Breading Bread!

The past month has been pretty special: birthdays, a wedding shower, fun times with the kids and grandkids, a writing retreat. In the middle of it, I’ve been crazy productive: I’ll hit 30K words on my first novel this weekend. We are blessed. ♥️🙌

When we graduated our last of eight children in th

When we graduated our last of eight children in the spring, it didn’t fully sink in. This summer I realized the reality would hit on the first day of a new year, when there were no binders to buy, no books to gather, no lesson plans to be made.

Today is that day.

Last night I dreamed about teaching. I belonged to a community of students, other women, and even a little white dog that was almost otherworldly. As with most dreams, I didn’t hold onto the details of the storyline when I awoke, but at the end I was crying, not with sadness, but with deep contentment. I felt so much love for the people around me.

In real life, I’m in a cabin on a writing retreat, an appropriate place to mark the transition between thirty years of homeschooling (not a typo) and life beyond. Although I’ve written nonfiction for years, I’m working on my first novel. With nonfiction, I submitted book proposals with an introduction and three sample chapters and then signed a contract to write the book. With fiction, I need to write the whole thing and pray a publisher wants to buy it. It’s a walk of faith, but I keep plugging away. Today I’ll pass the 23K mark of the 80K words I need.

For those of you beginning a fresh school year, what are you most excited about? For those enjoying your retirement from homeschooling or parenting students, did you (or will you) pursue new interests with your extra time?

Mamas, do you realize the impact of your presence

Mamas, do you realize the impact of your presence and legacy in your children’s lives? Losing my mother on my birthday—when she was the age I am now—left a void.

Join me today @incourage as I share my thoughts on dedicating this year to my mother, to living my best year — our best year. And feel free to join the conversation!

The yearly @incourage retreat is one of the highlights of my year. At surface level, I relax, recharge, maybe get a hint of a tan. But face time with my fellow contributors always takes me deep. Love these ladies sooooo much! ♥️

Our family will celebrate two milestones in May: our youngest child will graduate from high school and, after 30 consecutive years, I’ll retire from my job as a homeschool mom. This also means we’re in our final sports season with a child at home. We’ve cheered for our children at hundreds of baseball and softball games, as well as countless track and cross-country meets. So much is coming to a close.

To call it the end of an era feels like an understatement.

Moms of seniors, join me today @incourage: https://incourage.me/?p=231886 or link to (in) articles in IG bio.
