Let the Pieces Fall

Water is splashing everywhere, my face is drenched.  I can hear each breath coming in and out of me, a low growling sound emanating from somewhere deep inside.  I look through the thrashing water, see the reason for my struggle.  A face I hate, eyes open in terror.  My hands show no mercy.  I wake from the dream startled, uneasy…as usual.  The dream which has visited me at least once a year for over a decade, though unsettling, no longer scares me.  No longer pleases me either.   Read more >

When Hope is Enough

{I wrote this post about a month ago on my blog, there has been an update to this situation which I will hopefully write about soon, but for now I wanted to share this part of our journey with the Blogher community.}  It’s late.  Nearly 2am, and I’m wide awake, nerves jangling.  Paul and I completed a huge task tonight, one that will affect our family in a major way depending on the decision of forces beyond our control.   Read more >

About Me: 

I like to call myself a young mom with an old soul.  I've always felt different from those around me, and as I enter the sphere of motherhood, that hasn't really changed!  Writing has become my outlet and I have found a way to share my thoughts on motherhood, life, marriage, social concerns, religion, and anything else that strikes my fancy, on my blog, imperfectbird.tumblr.com.  I'm currently a stay at home mom with two sons and a husband who walks beside me through it all.
