Trust

If I could tell a new mom one thing, it would be to trust yourself. I carry guilt. For the ten times I am patient, I carry the one time I yell. For the ten times I play superheroes, I carry the one time I brush them off. I carry these for a moment. On [...]

Mitt Romney won New Hampshire primary decisively, but I’ll let CNN and NPR go through the numbers. I want to talk about his victory speech or at least one part of it. Today we’re faced with the disappointing record of a failed president. -Mitt Romney And his supporters CHEERED. Who cheers for a failed presidency? [...]

What does it mean to lose faith? I have always believed that doubt is a part of faith. Otherwise, it would be fact, and faith by its definition is a belief beyond facts or, to some, without facts. So doubts have rarely made me uncomfortable. I see them as how we maintain and grow stronger [...]
