Sacred Connections

Why I am Thankful for People I Don’t Know

May 20, 2022 by Stephanie 8 Comments

My young adult son have forged a rhythm of communication in this new place for both of us. Although we navigate this territory together, miles separate us.

Why Our Big Kids Need to Know that They Don’t Carry Their Fears Alone

March 5, 2022 by Stephanie Leave a Comment

The conversations with my college kids sounded differently this week. With one at home and two out of state, I feel fortunate that they communicate in some form several times a week.
