I have to think we all wonder at times if what we’re doing matters? If the effort we put into something serves a purpose or if it’s wasting our time when we should be doing something else. When I first began blogging I didn’t wonder if it “mattered”. I never questioned its relevance. I justContinue reading “r e l e v a n c e.”
high calling.
Dear Ella, Today was Mother’s Day and while I was counting my motherhood blessings I was counting you. One year ago this month your Poppy called to say you’d be joining us for dinner.
