Can I Have This Dance?

January 16, 2019June 6, 2019 ~ Calista ~ 1 Comment

Digging deep into the crevices of my bag, I prayed to find any morsel with which to appease the hunger pangs of my over-stimulated, worn out toddler. The museum was crowded. The day was long. My time was up and the bag supplied nothing. Not even a half-eaten granola bar or a couple sticky fruit … Continue reading Can I Have This Dance?

Take Off Your Shoes

February 8, 2017 ~ Calista ~ 2 Comments

My world was closing in and I felt suffocated. My soul was landlocked, hemmed in, and I desperately needed to stretch and breathe. I had looked forward to my vacation at the beach for weeks. Grabbing my camera, I headed out the door of the condo. The sun warmed my shoulders, though there was a … Continue reading Take Off Your Shoes

A Fearful Follower

January 18, 2017 ~ Calista ~ 2 Comments

  Down she went into the hole. My 13-year old daughter disappeared from view. Heart pounding I climbed down after her. Darkness took over. Bumps and shouts slammed my ears as I crawled through the tunnel. "Shelby!?" "Come on, Mom!" The sound of her voice faded into the distance. My breathing quickened as I questioned … Continue reading A Fearful Follower

Lack of control over what is happening in her can lead to despair. From the depths of her being my daughter summoned the … Continue reading On the Other Side of Pain

Have you ever wanted to run away? Not permanently – just for a couple hours or days … okay, let’s be honest … a couple months. When the kids were little and the house was boisterous I had a recurring fantasy. I would go someplace pretty and quiet. The quaint cottage where I would stay … Continue reading Make Mine Almond with Honey, Cream, and a Side of Quiet

How to Break Up with Your Phone

June 29, 2016 ~ Calista ~ 4 Comments

It started innocently enough. I watched people interact with their smartphones. They were so happy together. They enjoyed each other’s company. And the apps … all the apps. These tiny pocket pals were helpful, came in a variety of styles, and could be tailored to meet the needs and desires of their owner. I knew … Continue reading How to Break Up with Your Phone

Of Impostors and Moments and Living Truth

June 14, 2016 ~ Calista ~ Leave a comment

I was in the dairy section at the grocery store when a man next to me reached for sour cream and said, “So, how ‘bout them Chiefs?” Looking around I realized he is talking to me. “Uhh …,” and I made a vague comment as I moved on to the cottage cheese. So did he. … Continue reading Of Impostors and Moments and Living Truth
