Inside the Minds of Valerie and Mike (and Anna)
As part of our confirmation program we have 6 one weekend retreats. I have always had fun on these and I love the challenges that they provide, but they do take up a bit of time and can sometimes become long and tiring. This cause my last one to be somewhat bittersweet. However, as part... Continue Reading →
Oh my gosh! I had such a serious case of writers block with this prompt. (Thanks Mrs.J for sending it to me) I had no idea where to go with the story and figured out where it was going pretty much when the reader would, at each sentence. Though, I'm not really sure where the... Continue Reading →
As part of my confirmation program at church there are two retreats a year, both of which are only for 1 weekend. We kind of separate ourselves and have work sessions on various topics.

Ah, what an exciting morning. I woke up a few times in the middle of the night and felt a little sick, but was able to convince myself that it was nothing and went back to sleep. However, in the morning I was really not feeling well and after not feeling terrific each morning all... Continue Reading →
For those of you that don't know, the magnet program that I'm in goes to New York for a week when we reach 8th grade. It's not all fun and games, though. There are usually around 8 groups of 8, though this year we were a little smaller with only 7 groups and two of... Continue Reading →
Nurse Themba doesn’t say a word, she doesn’t need to. Instead she gathers me in her strong, comforting arms. I let myself fall to the weakness and I become limp and crumpled in her arms as I soak both of us in a shower of salty tears. Seconds pass and slide into minutes. After what... Continue Reading →
