Burdens, Part 3

By Bekka On 13.06.15 · Add Comment
This is the third and final part of this story. You can read Part 1 and Part 2 if you haven’t already. ___ He’s back to work in Edmonton again. Union dispatches haven’t panned out like we hoped and six-week stints in Kitimat, more than 15 hours’ drive from home, were killing us. I can [...]

Burdens, Part 2

By Bekka On 13.06.08 · 1 Comment
If you missed Part 1, you can catch up here. ___ He’s been away working for only a couple of weeks when he calls to tell me there’s too much temptation there for him. Temptation to fall into old ways of drinking a 24 pack of beer with the boys before hitting the hay most [...]

It Matters

By Bekka On 13.06.07 · Add Comment
I have had the distinct privilege of being a children’s librarian in a small northern community. Part of my brief training included a workshop where I attained certification as part of the Parent-Child Mother Goose Program. For those not familiar with the program, it is designed to give parents from fixed- or low-income families tools [...]

Disrespect

By Bekka On 13.06.05 · Add Comment
I guess I had a little bit of a pride issue going on regarding this “respect your husband” thing. I learned about how most men respond to respect (or lack thereof) more often than to love. How men perceive things through what you might call a “respect filter” that tends to make most situations into [...]

Burdens, Part 1

By Bekka On 13.06.01 · Add Comment
“Hey.” He has called nearly every night for a month, since we first reconnected via Facebook. We talk for hours most nights. Sometimes reliving part of the past we shared, sometimes talking about hopes and dreams or just telling stories about the day. But this call is very different. He sounds strained as he speaks. [...]

Finding Church

By Bekka On 13.05.27 · 2 Comments
November 2011 was the last time we considered ourselves regular church attenders. We worked hard in that church, but too many changes in directions we didn’t agree with left us feeling burnt out and left out. It has had a lasting impact on me, to this day. I like to think that I’ve forgiven the [...]

Big Sister

By Bekka On 13.05.13 · Add Comment
It’s been busy around here lately. With all the unpacking, the catching up on laundry, the feeding of newborns, the finding our grove, the cooking and the cleaning and the finishing up on office stuff once and for all, we just haven’t had the time we hoped for yet. But last week on Tuesday, you [...]

What Makes a Mother

By Bekka On 13.05.12 · Add Comment
There are women who are mothers by virtue of carrying babies, raising babies into children and raising children into adults. There are women who are mothers by that alone. But there are women who are mothers by instinct. Women who should have been mothers but by some cruel chance or twist of fate have no [...]

Stretching – #OneWord365

By Bekka On 13.05.11 · Add Comment
The romantic in me, the one that I hardly let see the light of day, loves the French language. I’ve always loved it. I rued the poor treatment of the language in elementary school, where teachers oft could barely pronounce a complete sentence without tripping over themselves and students rolled their eyes at the few [...]

Brave – A #FMF Post

By Bekka On 13.05.05 · Add Comment
1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking. 2. Link back to Lisa-Jo and invite others to join in. 3. And then absolutely, no ifs, ands or buts about it, you need to visit the person who linked up before you & encourage them in their comments. Seriously. That [...]

The Plunge

By Bekka On 13.05.01 · Add Comment
It’s official. My little girl is growing up, far too fast if you ask me. She just lost her first baby tooth. And in September, she’ll be a whopping five years old. Five. Years. Old. And that means school. We have tossed and turned with what to do about school. It’s a discussion that Tim [...]

A Rose By Any Other Name

By Bekka On 13.04.29 · Add Comment
My fascination with names began as a child in church. My pastor, when relating stories from the bible, or dedicating a baby, would dig into the history of names, their meanings and the language they originated from. He would share this information, often indicating that the meaning of names can add so much more depth [...]
