This is My Blog
Posted by malindar in Reflection on January 8, 2024
I haven’t treated it like a blog lately, but I used to. If I’m being honest, I don’t treat it like a blog because I think of it as a plaything…more of a journal where I process my thoughts every once in a while. I realized this morning as I scrolled back, thinking about what […]
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 […]
anguish

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 […]
becoming adult
Posted by malindar in Family Life, Kids, Life, Reflection on June 1, 2016
25 years ago, i graduated from high school. i’m reminded of this number repeatedly…by the fact that i know my class is having a reunion in July…by the fact that Joe graduated 5 years after me, and he celebrates his 20th in July as well…but most notably by the fact that my daughter, who was […]
what a year.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Life, Memory, Reflection on December 29, 2015
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
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Life, Reflection on September 28, 2015
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 […]
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 […]
laser focus
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, God, Reflection on April 16, 2015
the vague terms in which i keep speaking here really bother me. apparently, however, they’re all i’ve got to work with. well, that and cakes. loads and loads and loads of cakes. it’s funny how in the depths of all the crap i’m dealing with in important areas of my life, i think back to 3 weeks […]
