Essentially EB

I am curious. Curious about places and people. I love going places and experiencing new things, mostly because I love learning about and connecting with people and discovering more of me! My desire in life is to pour into people. Join me on this journey though this beautiful, crazy, messy life that I adore! We can chat about life, love, relationships, friends, food, travel, wine, oils, and so many in-betweens.

I will keep it real! Let’s do this journey together!

The Details

All we can hope as parents is to be invited into their doors to glimpse and marvel at what they made on that foundation.

I Couldn't Wait....

about a year ago

I couldn’t wait for each milestone, each memory, each everything…but this one is a hard one.

What If...

about 2 years ago

What if I stopped pretending? What if I didn’t think about what people saw, and lived the way that burns inside of me? What if there were no checklists and comparative notes? What if we acted and reacted from a place of good will and intention, and not driven by commerce? What if the collective we celebrated and loved from a place of peace? What if we checked our hearts before we moved our mouths? What if???

Not all bold moves work that successfully, and most have consequences….. It’s ok to be different. It’s ok to notice the differences. It’s not ok, in my opinion, to exploit the differences from such a place of disdain that one is trying to divide and destroy. We hide behind computer screens and scream out from a veil of darkness pretending like our opinions NEED to be heard all while failing to even care about the calamity of them.

Traditions

about 4 years ago

After seeing some of my pictures recently, someone said, “well you have the perfect blended family.” I smiled. No, no we don’t, and I mean that with all sincerity, love and respect. We have a blended, sometimes broken, family...but at the end of the day we are FAMILY.

It's His Path

Two roads diverged in the wood, and I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference.~ Robert Frost

At the age of 19, she ran away. For the record, she didn’t run away.

HOME

about 5 years ago

We’ve stood hips out, with faces crinkled, both wanting to do it our way…but we always decide to go home.

Motivational Hijacking

about 5 years ago

If your worth to someone is only the money you will bring them, then you are a commodity, not a precious life.

The Journey

about 5 years ago

How do parents survive this s#%t? (ANSWER: Jesus, family, girlfriends, hair dye, and chardonnay. Trust me.) Why doesn’t this journey come with directions and a detailed map?

Seasons

November 26, 2018 in family, Relationships

Nobody wanted to be a mom more than me. I fought through pregnancy issues etc., and I promise you that I wanted them more than anything else in the world, BUT I WAS RIDICULOUSLY MISERABLE.
