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 […]
things change
Posted by malindar in Uncategorized on October 2, 2016
things that have changed since the last time i blogged (and published. because, oh, the posts i have started but…not published.): my oldest spent 11 weeks away from me. she lived. so did i. i have learned much about what it means to parent a college student. and how very little control i have over […]
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 […]
challenge.

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 […]
called.
today, my daughter called me from the International Wesleyan Youth Convention in Indianapolis in tears. i could literally hear the smile on her face as she sniffed and sobbed. i was so confused. i asked if she was ok. she said, “i’m really ok, Momma.” and she went on to explain that during a message […]
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 […]
i just don’t know.
Posted by malindar in Uncategorized on November 17, 2015
i have lots of words in my head. thoughts and thoughts and thoughts. all of the hard thoughts. angry thoughts and irritated thoughts and i promise there is love inside there too, but oh. my. GOSH. i’ve had it. it’s days like today when i look around and see all of the controversy and the […]
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 […]
plexus

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 […]
