Dear Doc, I didn’t know you, you were just the name given to me at the Public Health Department. I didn’t know anything about what your “job” did way back in the mid 70’s, but I was told what you do in our community now was important. I was hesitant to contact your office, Doc. I didn’t know what your office… Read More
31 days of anonymity {day 7 – dear church}
Dear Church Family, I love serving you and your families. I am happy to share my husband and children with you. I joyfully engage, and give, and even receive, the love we get to share in Jesus.

Once your choices were revealed, I thought I would surely die of a broken heart. But, I’m here to tell you that I’ve made it through and am flourishing! When you revealed… Read More
31 days of anonymity {day 3 – dear satan}
Dear Satan, You are a sneaky one… using something as innocent as food to draw me away from my One True Love. You had no scruples because you started with me at the age of 5. You used my mother in ways a mother should never be used to ingrain the idea of ‘FAT’ into my head. Your scheme began… Read More
