The Difference The Army Makes

What a difference a few years makes.  Or rather, twelve years.  That’s how long it’s been since our nation was last victimized by terrorism on the scale of yesterday’s attack in Boston.  If you’re anything like me, you’ve been glued to the news:  watching for updates, waiting for new information, wanting answers.  As I flipped…

Nothing meds and wine can’t fix.

I live with crippling Social Anxiety Disorder.  Social situations scare the crap out of me.  If I am forced to interact with people I don’t know, there will be breathing into a paper bag involved before or after the encounter.  When I tell people about my anxiety, most folks are shocked.  It makes me laugh…

SO inspiring Em! I am SUPER proud of you, my friend!

Your response is requested.

My son, Matthew, is probably the cutest thing you’ll ever see in your life.  He puts puppies and baby polar bears to shame.  I swear, he challenges me in ways you’d never expect from a preschooler.  A few weeks ago he said, “Mom, it’s not easy for me to be a good boy.  It’s just…

I see a lot of similarities in what you and I believe. You just put it so much better than me. When I think of the word “believe” I do think of God though. I believe in God.

#2 is a biggie with me. Integrity. Say what you’re going to do and do what you say you will.
Yes to #8 and #14.

#10 is something I’m still working on. There is only one me. I don’t know whether or not I’m enough in a lot of areas, but I know I’m “too much” in so many others. That’s what I want to work on in 2013.

This is what I have worked on in years past: http://lovingasoldier.com/who-am-i/.

Thanks for sharing Emily, part of my #3!
