sacrifice.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, God, Life, Reflection, Uncategorized on March 2, 2018
in my mind, i am made up of a whole bunch of parts of a person i really want to be. i’m a mom. a writer. a helper. a thinker. a doer. in reality…i struggle with the fact that maybe i’m not really any of those things. i am a mom who finds herself with […]

so if you’ve read…well, basically more than one of my posts ever, you’ll know that i post about anything. everything, really. there is no rhyme or reason here. and my interests are random and eclectic. overall, i’m good with that, and…well, this is my blog so…if you’re not, that’s ok. i’ve been doing a lot […]
challenge.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Fitness, Weight Loss, workout on January 19, 2016
i’ve learned something about myself in the last two days. i may work in my house, and i may have said in the past that getting 10,000 steps a day in my house on a regular basis is impossible. but throw a little friendly competition in my face, and all of a sudden…i can hit 14,000 […]
what a year.

this year, i almost lost my marriage. then i lived a miracle. i watched my child gain independence. and i watched her choose to lose it for a time. i lost 7 pounds. gained back 9. i heard my babies love each other. i watched them fight. we had plenty for a while. and then we had […]
long hair

several problems accompany growing your hair out when you get old. i’m sure you don’t really care, but…yeah, i don’t care that you don’t care anymore. (that’s an upside to getting old.) in January, i stopped cutting my hair. i wasn’t growing it out then. i just wasn’t cutting it. this was a tactic meant […]

i have spent the past three years doing constant research. from the time Joe and i got married, i felt something change in my body. i was 39. when i started gaining weight that i couldn’t explain (because nothing changed–not my nutrition, not my workouts, not my stress level), people kept saying to me, “you’re just […]
to process pain.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Family Life, God, Life, Reflection on May 14, 2015
i’m sitting here on my couch at 3:00 in the afternoon, fully aware of what i’m supposed to be doing. fully intentional about not doing it. you know, this seems like the only time i actually post: when i’m avoiding something i know i need to get done. i guess, however, after looking back over all […]
mother’s day.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Family Life, Joe, Kids, Life, Reflection on May 11, 2015
i got the most amazing mother’s day gifts yesterday. and the ones that were my favorites didn’t cost a dime. not a cent, actually. and i have never received more amazing gifts. from anyone. one will be hard-pressed to give me anything more priceless from this point forward. oh, sure, they gave me a gluten-free savory baker […]
the silly.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Family Life, Kids, Life, Reflection on April 22, 2015
you know what i love? i love the silly. the pure, unadulterated joy that bursts out of the ability to freely laugh. living squarely in the moment. abandoning any inhibition. free of judgment. void of criticism. with full knowledge that the people who surround you and who you love completely embrace the silly–and display it–right along with you. i […]
