What if I break?

Posted on August 27, 2016August 29, 2016 by shelimassie

  A blanket of sadness has covered our family this year. Our village. Our world. And when sadness comes I want to run. But this, what has happened recently,could break me. I know this. I am fully aware that this might all be too much. So I  texted my people and whispered “what if I…

A WARRIOR will rise….

Posted on June 23, 2016June 23, 2016 by shelimassie

When I was younger, my cousins and I all got under-roos for Christmas one year. It was either that or at one of our joint birthday parties. Because when you have 18 cousins, you have one party a year not 18 million. Because really, who has that kind of time or strength for that much…

Palms Up- The Mudroom

Posted on May 2, 2016April 9, 2018 by shelimassie

I tell my kids all the time, they will become who they spend their time with. If you want to be a video gamer then spend your time with games and people that are not real. If you want to be mean, spend your time with the mean girls. If you want to be shallow…

Patches of Joy and Stretches of Sorrow

Posted on March 18, 2016March 19, 2016 by shelimassie

  A few weeks ago I bought a new couch. We had been needing another place to sit in our living room as it became apparent that asking your guests to sit on the floor was no longer cool when you are in your forties or not living in a yoga studio. I had texted…

Fridays are for Grace.

Posted on January 29, 2016 by shelimassie

I live my life unlocked. At least I try to. When we were first married my husband and I took a trip to San Francisco and did all of the touristy things. Except for the prison. I just couldn’t get on a ferry and end up in prison. But we did the chocolate and the…

Do you create what you need?

Posted on January 1, 2016April 9, 2018 by shelimassie

Last night was New Year ‘s Eve and I was alone. Not usually a big deal.Me being alone. I actually like to be by myself. It reenergizes me. But for some reason last night really bothered me. My husband had been gone for a few days with the littles and the older two were gone…

Why you need to send out fat Christmas cards.

Posted on December 21, 2015December 22, 2015 by shelimassie

I love getting Christmas cards in the mail. All the time I wish that for the month of December the mailman would only deliver packages and Christmas cards. He could hold onto all of the bills until February, because if I am honest that is when I will pay them anyways. I string the cards…

Christmas did not come on a stage.

Posted on December 5, 2015December 6, 2015 by shelimassie

I remember that Christmas like it was yesterday. Tragedy is like that, it weaves itself around you like a tangled mess of fear. Body covered with a paper gown that could hide nothing but the clean underwear my mother always told me to wear. I wasn’t in an accident. My mind was leaving me. I…

Heart Matters- Guest post by Sarah Wilson

Posted on November 23, 2015November 22, 2015 by shelimassie

‘I decided to write this book, not because motherhood has been a breeze for me, but because it hasn’t been. In fact, this book has been borne out of my struggles, rather than my successes. These struggles are common to most mothers, yet they remain unarticulated. A conspiracy of silence seems to exist around motherhood,…
