484 days ago I started my most favorite adventure. When my husband and I began this adventure I added a new title to my repertoire…we both did. I am a wife. I am a daughter. I am a sister and a friend. I am a teacher. I am a leader. The lists of who we are…

As I scroll through my newsfeed on Facebook…as I receive text messages from family or friends…as we pray through the prayer requests shared by my fourth graders as we sit in a circle on the rug…I am constantly reminded of one thing. We are hurting and life is hard. We are mourning a laundry list…

Our world, our culture perhaps, is increasingly focused on ‘Heroes’. Whether it’s the major resurgence of action hero movies, whole entire series of comic characters brought to life on screen, larger than life political characters or even social activists.

No one really ever read it, but this blog has existed for years — probably close to 10. Yikes. But it was never really used, often forgotten for long stretches and not really cherished. Well today is the beginning of a new era. The previous posts have been hidden and Clara & I have given new…
