Am I Enough?
Hello all! It’s been about 4 months since I last posted. It’s not that I haven’t had anything to write about, it’s just that I

In The End
When I finish this post, it will be my 37th entry in this blog (Check out my Favorite https://kailynsdad.com/crowded-room/) To be honest, when I started
My Time
There have been many times in my life when I asked myself the question, “When will it be my time?” Most of the time, the
Chapters In Books On My Bookshelf
I’ve always looked at my life as a series of books sitting on a bookshelf. Mind you, my book shelf is getting dustier and dustier the older I get, but I’ve always thought of my words, actions, and decisions as being collected in multiple books, sitting on a shelf for only me to see.
Parenting: How Am I Going To Do That?
As a parent, I often think “How am I going to do that?” And then looking back, I realize the answer is, “You just do it.” The “how” is as important as the “when”, as is the “why”.
When Does The Pain Go Away?

Do I have enough time to leave my mark on the world?
Do I have enough time on this earth?

You might wonder why a photo from my wedding is the photo I choose for a blog on memories? The reason is that honestly, despite the marriage not working out, it was still one of the best days of my life (although it’s taken me quite a few years to circle back to this conclusion). Standing in front of my friends and family & being married by my little brother, was one of my fondest memories. And with that explanation. . . here’s my take on some good & some bad memories!
COVID-19 Life Lessons
Life has been so crazy lately, right? Not crazy “busy”, or crazy “fun” . . . but just crazy (or closer to crazy “scary” or crazy “stressful”). Nothing about the way things have been for the past 8 weeks is normal, and for a social extrovert like me, it’s been nothing short of difficult. I thought I’d talk a little about my experiences and a few lessons ‘Rona taught me.
