http://www.ginabooton.com/2015/05/how-mops-saved-me.html
On Making Moments into Memories and Why Our Stories Matter. Sunday, May 24, 2015. How MOPS Saved Me. My sister-in-law Danette invited me to attend MOPS with her at the beginning of this year. I was a little hesitant because I felt like I didn’t have enough time to see the friends I already had, so I didn’t know if I needed more friends. Also, I was content with my life the way it was, or so I thought. I went to the first meeting and was immediately hooked. I had absolutely no idea. All this time I though...

This is my first blog post since February, and I think my running may have something to do with that. As Julia Cameron says in.

On Making Moments into Memories and Why Our Stories Matter. Sunday, June 14, 2015. My two-year-old, Logan, holding his great-great-grandfather's pocket watch. In honor of my 34. Birthday in ten days, I thought I'd share a personal essay I wrote in college, June 19, 2002, five days before my 21st birthday. I wonder who ever thought of putting time in a band. Or is it an army? Once when I was six years old I put a cheese quesadilla in the microwave for 60 seconds. 8220;I just watched a. 8220;Well, it’...
