  • When You Crack Yourself Up: Wishful Thinking

    I wrote a post for Heart of the Matter on Sunday, wistfully mentioning how much I appreciate it when our grown daughter leans in, expressing her need for motherly wisdom, advice, connection.  Waxing nostalgic, about her younger days when I was more of a featured player in her life, I referred to her as my… Continue reading
