I took these pictures as I waited to catch the train out of Chicago's Union Station back in July. It was a beautiful sunny day and hot and sticky inside the hall. I didn't even mind the heat and humidty though and really just sat on a bench reflecting on freedom and what that means and how often I take it for granted. Today, especially, I remember. My heart is in prayer for those who continue to ache from the grief of that day, for those whose loved ones are away and serving our country to protect our freedom and seeking Peace, and for those whose memories we cherish and remember in a special way today.

Jody: The pic of you in kindergarten is like looking at a twin of Teagan.....God bless you.
I will never forget! We are blessed to live in a country that stands for freedom and the rights of others. I can't comprehend the sacrifices our troops and families make, but I am so thankful they do!
ABOUT THIS BLOG-
You have stumbled upon a link to the daily musings of my crazy life. I say crazy because things happen to me that probably don't happen to you that often- or even ever. I will write candidly about these events in hopes to learn from them, teach you about them, or just to document that they actually happened. It could be anything...but I promise to keep it real!
Hi. I am a wife and mother of 7- six of them are at home and underfoot, one is in Heaven and they have all captured my heart! I am 42, but feel like I have lived through more than some people do in a lifetime. I have definitely had some rough spots...but have challenged myself to not let those events consume or define me. I try to look at life in a positive light...and most often that means I look to God for the strength to do so. He is the source of my joy and happiness in life- even in the midst of chaos at times. Ultimately I hope to live a life that inspires or challenges other people to be their best. Kind of like a "white Oprah." I mean that with deep respect.
