I Feel Fragile
In the fictionalized biography of Elizabeth Winthrope titled "The Winthrope Woman," Elizabeth is speaking with her sister, Martha. Her sister tells her that she (Martha) is "cobweb that tears at a touch." I feel that way sometimes. It feels like I break so easily. I cried earlier today because of an upcoming move. I'm in … Continue reading I Feel Fragile
Submission and the wheelchair
Quick thought. When I told my husband how safe I feel when he pushes me in my wheelchair, he said it makes sense because I submit. You have to submit when someone else is pushing your wheelchair. Following my husband's lead and listening to him has in many ways become second nature to me. I … Continue reading Submission and the wheelchair

I adore the Pacific Northwest, … Continue reading Dreary, Colorsplash, Homeschooling

When I first married my husband, submission was not a part of my life. My husband even told me he wanted to leave "obey" out of our … Continue reading Submission is Beautiful
Why Should She Die for Not Being Popular?
Caitlin, age two, is in my front yard surrounding Agatha. Agatha is a beautiful ornamental grass in front of my pink beach house that the lawn crew put there to make my yard lovely. Caitlin, for her part, isn't a bad girl. Not to me, but she is misunderstood. Caitin is a weed. As a … Continue reading Why Should She Die for Not Being Popular?
Big Cleaning Day
Although I was still sick, I was doing a little better, and I cleaned the house like crazy. Dusting, laundry, organizing, dishes, picking up, cleaning bathrooms etc. Disinfecting things felt good. I want to chase the sick out of the house. I got 150 zink photo paper stickers recently, and I have been printing my … Continue reading Big Cleaning Day
