Life On Life’s Terms

When I was 18 I followed a boy from my home in Napa, California to go to school in Joplin, Missouri. That last sentence might confirm in you what you have been suspecting all along; Heather is nuts. I looked it up this morning and that is a distance of exactly 1,865 miles. Not onlyContinueContinue reading “Life On Life’s Terms”

Tangled

This is not one of my favorite memories, but it certainly is one of my most vivid. When I went in to the hospital with Leukemia, to say I had a lot of hair would be an understatement. I had an enormous amount of long, blond hair. Most of the time I kept it onContinueContinue reading “Tangled”

Soul-Selfie

I am terrible at taking Selfies. Just ask my teenage daughter. She has it mastered, like most teenagers. But I struggle, people. I struggle. I never know where to look—that’s the first problem: at the screen, so I can see how I look, or at that little hole so I don’t look cross-eyed? Then there’sContinueContinue reading “Soul-Selfie”

I See Those Hands…

Raise your hand if you have ever battled a potentially terminal disease or love someone who has or does? Now raise your hand if you struggle with the disease of addiction or love someone who has or does? And raise a hand if you’ve ever felt tormented by the effects of your own sin/evil/brokenness orContinueContinue reading “I See Those Hands…”

I Want My Way!

I am a Realtor. When people ask me how I like being a Realtor, my response is that “I love it!”. That’s mostly true. I have to be honest and tell you that I have noticed that I love it most when deals are going my way. In my  favor. When everyone agrees on aContinueContinue reading “I Want My Way!”

On Editing…

My Editor (ok—my mom) and I have been going through my past blogs preparing them for the book. It’s been fun to re-read them, but I definitely saw a pattern. When you read them back to back to back, you notice things. One might notice that there is a common thread of my struggle withContinueContinue reading “On Editing…”

Let’s Talk About Trump…

Let’s just take a few minutes to talk about Donald Trump. My own heart rate is accelerating from the surge of blood pressure rising in my readers. For some of you, it’s because the mere mention of this name sparks a physical reaction in you. For others, it’s because you are thinking, “Oh honey, don’tContinueContinue reading “Let’s Talk About Trump…”

Over-Qualified

I considered entitling this entry “I’m Still Sick.” Then I reconsidered. Didn’t want anyone to panic. No, I don’t still have Leukemia, at least that I’m aware of. But hang with me for a couple minutes and I’ll explain… My two youngest kids were visiting Grandparents on the West Coast for the past few weeks.ContinueContinue reading “Over-Qualified”

Nostalgia Therapy

I haven’t written in a few days and as a result, I have “back-log-blog-brain.” I Lots of ideas whirling around in my brain and am having trouble deciding which one to focus on. Even as I sit down to write, I realize that what I am supposed to share today is a result of somethingContinueContinue reading “Nostalgia Therapy”

You are the Problem…

The other morning I was working on some Real Estate stuff on the computer while my son was watching basketball. I felt compelled to share with him my excitement about my job. I said, “I know you probably don’t really care, but I just have to say that I love my job! Sometimes I evenContinueContinue reading “You are the Problem…”
