The Wedding Scoop

June 30, 2018 / Helena / Leave a comment

I was bursting at the seams with stories from engagement and the wedding, and I think there are a few reasons I shelved them instead of posting them right away. Engagement was a whirlwind, then I was in such a happy blur from the wedding that I needed time to write and process. And then … Continue reading The Wedding Scoop

My Birth Story, Part II: Labor and Delivery

April 9, 2018June 1, 2018 / Helena / 1 Comment

If you missed part I, go read it first! The best way I can describe what a natural birth without pain medications felt like to me is a marathon. If you've ever run a marathon, you know what a muscle cramp feels like, and that you can't think "I can't do this" or overthink about … Continue reading My Birth Story, Part II: Labor and Delivery

Early Spring

March 24, 2017 / Helena / 1 Comment

Hello, old friend. Here I am, thinking of all the clichés applicable to this comeback moment. I might as well skip trying to state the obvious and move on to what's churning in my soul. I'm sitting at a banquet table, and the Host will not stop putting delicious, much-too-large portions before me. Just when … Continue reading Early Spring

Why I’ve Been Silent

December 18, 2016 / Helena / Leave a comment

I used to write about once a week, sometimes twice. I also used to write a devotional every single day. All these things went out to a set list of readers, straight to their email inbox. Then life got a bit more complicated for me on the emotional zone. I began to feel that this … Continue reading Why I’ve Been Silent

Bitter and Sweet

September 1, 2016 / Helena / Leave a comment

My warm cup of very caffeinated coffee cheered me on to a new morning. I was so proud of myself for managing to drink it without sugar, only with a heavy pour of unsweetened soy milk. It was a perfect traveling mug of goodness. By itself, that is. In my lunchbox (yes, I'm four and … Continue reading Bitter and Sweet

Even Now

June 2, 2016June 2, 2016 / Helena / Leave a comment

I've been quiet because I've been waiting. And while you wait and there are no news, why speak up? There are several parts of my life that have been in transition, unanswered. I've been praying and waiting. I've tried not to complain, or get my hopes up, or become pessimistic. I am writing this right … Continue reading Even Now

Fighting For Peace

May 10, 2016May 10, 2016 / Helena / 1 Comment

There's a fine, dotted line between letting something go and standing up for oneself. It feels like a seesaw, where it's not any fun when you're always letting things go and becoming a bitter pushover, and it's no fun at all to make a fuss over every bump on the road. A wise man once … Continue reading Fighting For Peace
