Diane,
YAAEEEE--so glad you're planning to take part (and I'll have DaySpring send a book your way IF YOU ENTER THE GIVEAWAY and your name is drawn ;) ).
I'm counting on a new voice when I get to heaven; cause right now my noise? She ain't so joyful.

When I'm scattered and smothered I give you bigger and better
When I'm quiet on the blog, it usually means one of two things: Life offline wants more of my attention. ~ or ~ I'm writing elsewhere. As a regular contributor to (in)courage, Simple Mom and Deeper Story's family channel, there's always a chance I'm writing something for one of them, but it's m...
Rachael,

Rose,
While there are many things I could say in response to your honest, direct comment, I will only say this: though I expressed conflict in processing why I felt compelled to write that piece, my general feeling is it was more about freedom to speak the truth to one another than anything else (though I understand why readers took away more of the convo re: modesty).
The expression on my face in the picture you referenced was my favorite to express how much fun my sister and I had that day; but if it sends an inconsistent message, I certainly don't feel the need to leave it up. My husband, friends and family have a link to our fun photo shoot.

My sister & the Traveling Red Dress ~ Part 3 (Finally, the pictures!)
Who knew sweet Katie Couric was a THIEF? She STOLE the TRD from me! (Part one) A sister's tale aka Big Sisters are Bossy! (Part two) -- I have no idea how many women have worn and been photographed in the original Traveling Red Dress, but their dress sizes range from 6 to 18 or so. Some would ...
Mark,
Welcome back :). Funny, those LinkedIn suggestions...
I would love for your wife to read this...as long as you are sending it in the right spirit :). To think this might be a conversation starter for healthy dialogue makes me even happier to have written it!!

Marriage advice (the kind that's hard to hear...)
We've been married 25 years, a quarter century, over half our lives. No matter how you phrase it, especially in our culture of divorce-made-easy, that's a looong time. I like how my friend Patsy Clairmont puts it, "We've survived each other." If you know Patsy at all - through her blog, bo...
Good for you, Stacey, to see this! Maybe if you haven't already done this, have a conversation with him when you AREN'T in the middle of one of those times; assure him that it's okay to disagree (and then don't punish him when he does ;) :)).

Jess,
Yeah...the shorts comment didn't play that well when he said it, either (or a LOT of other things he's spoken in truth...). But we are fortunate if we'll have one of those guys who tries to tell us what he REALLY thinks; even if it takes us a while to hear, huh?

Dani,
Actually that depends on where you live but you bring up a good point; people should find out if it's permissible where the recipient lives (in TN you don't have to have one.).

Kate,
ha...as I'm reading your comment, I'm thinkin' we ARE a lot alike. There's a lot of common ground out there on the internets; it's fun when we discover it.

Golden crumbs, elephants and ponies
I'm not sure when I first noticed the DNA of my family's footsteps, but it was when I was recovering in our downstairs guestroom with my day-after-Christmas knee injury when my notice gave way to affection. What a peculiar thing to appreciate - like, even - knowing who would be walking throu...
