In 2019 I am going to fulfill a dream. I am hosting my first ever retreat for grieving mothers. A weekend of being loved and spoiled. Why? Because losing a child, no matter what age they were, how long you carried, or how many or how few memories you have made, is truly one of […]
You’ve come a long way baby
2016 was a tough year for many people. We lost a lot of people we loved and admired. Many cried over what was a devastating election result. We watched from afar as children died in bombings, helpless to do anything to save them. There was pain, there was fear. Gun violence continued to grow, mass […]
October 15th 2015 – Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day
The loss of a baby or child is something a mother never, ever forgets. Please remember all babies who have been lost on the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, October 15th. Light a candle, change your Facebook profile picture to a burning candle – something, to stand with all mothers who are remembering their […]
Positive energy leads to positive results
I saw a funny quote the other day. One of my friend’s posted on Facebook, “I’m sorry Nike, today I just can’t do it.” I laughed, I commiserated, and thought, yep, we all have days like that. I have been thinking a lot about attitude lately. I am guilty of spending a good bit of time on […]
Comfortably Numb
Is there anybody in there? Sometimes I wonder myself. Every time I hear the song “Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd, it puts me in a trance. My mind wanders off to a time when life was simpler. A warm spring Sunday in college, when my boyfriend and I lounged lazily on the couch and absorbed […]

Rare Bird…
All Things Are Possible with God… Really, this would be the last verse in which I would expect a mother, who just lost her twelve-year-old son, to find comfort. But Anna does. [Tweet “On September 8, 2011, Anna sent her two children out to play, but only her daughter came back. Three years ago today, […]
The long awaited “Kathryn” Molly Bear
I have talked about Molly Bears before in posts on the blog, but never done a dedicated post. That’s a shame, because it is in incredible organization. My friend Jennifer actually interviewed the founder of Molly Bears, Bridget, for a Philanthropy Friday in January 2013. I had actually already requested my bear at that point […]

The Quilt – An Unexpected Act of Kindness
TweetIf you ever have the opportunity to just do something nice for someone out of the blue, just do it. Whether it may be taking a meal to someone, bringing a small gift, whatever it may be, you never know how you may impact that person. I guess this is the whole concept behind the […]
For Love of Kathryn
Tweet#babyloss I just made my first donation of Teeny Tiny Diapers to Teeny Tears. What an amazing project this is! Teeny Tears is a service organization that makes tiny diapers for preemies that are stillborn or die shortly after birth, because most of them are too small for even the smallest diapers. Find out more […]
"Finding My Muchness"
Tweet #muchnesspicoftheday We all have it… everyone has their muchness. Sometimes it is hard to find. Sometimes we just lose it. I have been busy lately trying to find mine again. I found an amazing woman named Tova Gold who “lost her muchness” after she lost her identical twin daughters to TTTS. She has created […]
