In an Instant on 9/11, I Changed

September 11, 2009 · 10 comments

Eight years ago today started like any other day. I had sent my old­est off to Kinder­garten. Jason was trav­el­ing and I was enjoy­ing a few hours of peace before Sami woke up. I was check­ing e-mail and I didn’t even have the TV on, which was unusual for me. Then, I got an e-mail […]

What Home Means to Me

June 8, 2009 · 2 comments

As a kid, I thought home was where you lived all your life. I couldn’t imag­ine home being any­where, but Brook­field, WI. It was pretty much all I knew grow­ing up. As an adult, I moved a lot. I was never in the same home for more than 1 year, I moved to Vir­ginia and […]
