This Life

Darcel — Mon, 20 May 2013 11:03:56 +0000

By 9:15pm the kids had dinner and dessert. By the time I was able to sit down and eat my food was cold. Sometimes I think that’s a requirement of motherhood….’must eat after everyone else and food must be cold.’ I enjoyed sitting in the car for about 45 minutes. I had planned on calling [...]

The Call To Motherhood

Darcel — Fri, 17 May 2013 12:10:54 +0000

Sometimes motherhood is planned – each detail written and played in time and tune…the notes of a magnificent symphony.

On Becoming a Mother

Darcel — Fri, 10 May 2013 11:40:46 +0000

The first time I saw her face I didn’t believe it. Maybe I still don’t in a way. She swam up to us and I turned around, looked at her father, my husband, in disbelief. She’s real, she’s here, she is the most beautiful human being I’ve ever seen and I can’t believe she’s mine. [...]

Virginia Beach American Indian Pow Wow

I really love living in Virginia. There’s always something going on and plenty of those activities are inexpensive or free. About two weeks ago I went to the YMCA to get a membership and passed Mt Trashmore, one of our favorite parks. We couldn’t help but notice the crowd [...]
