“That afternoon when I forgot about my kids, I was jolted into realizing how much of my sense of self and even my sense of worth was bonded to my writing. That’s why I could so easily become engrossed in my work, even forgetting I had children while I joyously ruminated over word choices: Should it be dismayed or distraught? How about perturbed? Would discomposed sound too Victorian? Time really flies when luxuriating over the 1,300-plus pages of a Roget’s Thesaurus.”

My Mama was my first home
Her womb
My homeland

Her smile was the first sun I ever saw
The place, I was most safe
Her hands

“My Philosophy as I wish my beautiful daughter a Very Happy Birthday, I hope your day is as beautiful as you are.
The magical miracles of Life are all about tap dancing on the pages of your own story book.
Within each one of our story books are chapters of the mystery and adventures of all the stages of our life. Well on May of 1997, not only did a new chapter begin in my story book. A sequel was created. I was blessed with the gift of motherhood and from that moment on it was not just about my story anymore. It was about hers. It was about my story branching off into hers. It was all about giving her the love and tools to create a healthy foundation for her storybook. Well, I pray every day that I did a great job giving her all the love and tools to dance as she embraces all the mysteries and adventures life throws at her. Here's to 100 ♾️more and beyond Happy Birthday my daughter !!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I was graced with this remarkable truth: “Knowing who you are in Jesus Christ makes it easier to function in this world.” I soon realized I didn't know who I was in Jesus
Christ. Not only did I not know my identity in Jesus Christ, but I also realized that I didn't know my Saviour enough to know myself. It's like, how can I know who I am if I don't
know who He is?”

“In light soft as smoke,
light gentle as fronds unfurling;
damp to the touch like the unknown curve of cheek
& the sweet, unmeasured weight of new flesh,
we glide through the rooms—
ghosts,
premonitions of a past we haven’t written yet,
licking the plaster set soft and sticky,
sweet pudding in the crease of your spine.”
― Megan Ross, Milk Fever

“The thing about deep personal quests is that you cannot search for the answers. The answers find you while you are on your journey, in their intended timing. Others can guide us. Books may resonate, propose a direction, or awaken questions. The answers. My answers. Your answers. The deep and real ones must be figured out by each of us. For me to own what I learned and embrace the gifts of this journey, I had to go through it myself. Heal what requested healing and own everything this journey brought as my power and understanding. Claim its teachings and have it become part of my family’s actual life.”
― Efrat Shokef, The Promise We Made: Three Universal Soul Promises We Made to Our Children
