A Review: ‘Like a River from Its Course’

July 15, 2016 By Caroline TeSelle

Like a River From Its Course  is by far one of the best historical fiction books about World War II that I have ever read. The depth of each character was outstanding and I found myself reading slower as I was near the end – I didn’t want it to end! Despite the raw & …read more

Paying Attention to the Hope Around Me

May 19, 2016 By Caroline TeSelle

This morning I was pulling weeds from my garden, annoyed at their inconvenience to my schedule and my garden. I was thinking about the good, bad and ugly from our week. I was having a conversation with God about the good I understood and the bad I didn’t understand. Thanking Him for both. But at …read more

Flowers and Faith

May 4, 2016 By Caroline TeSelle

A mother and son. A life that made you a mom unsure of everything and grinning with hope wanting the years to miraculously slow down for his heart will soon turn toward another. You pray his heart is pure. You pray his faith is strong. The flower that was once pulled from your yard with …read more

April 1, 2016 By Caroline TeSelle

What I Learned is a monthly writing prompt from my friend Emily Freeman. Hop over to read what others have shared this month.   1. There are bendy paper straws! These straws are so much fun! 2. Apparently you can rename group text in iMessage and it changes it for the ENTIRE GROUP. I’ve been …read more

Planting Pom Poms & Cheering On Dreams

March 22, 2016 By Caroline TeSelle

A few weeks ago, we sat around the dinner table taking turns filling in this blank: “When I was a kid, I used to think _____________.” Our kids are 15, 13, 11 & 9. Still kids, right? Their answers varied from thinking aliens lived in the attic eating popcorn to chocolate milk came from brown …read more

At O’Hare waiting to board a plane back to Ashev At O’Hare waiting to board a plane back to Asheville. 

The past eight days have been a whirlwind: watching a hilarious murder-mystery comedy play, hosting the after-party (even though we went to bed 🤣), Super Bowl, dinner with girlfriends, thyroid biopsy, waiting two days for the results—benign 🙌🏻, early 26th anniversary dinner, book club, Amazing Race marathon, spring musical auditions…and all the moments in between. 

Thankful. Embracing this current season of life & holding on tight.
Yesterday morning, I boarded a plane in Asheville Yesterday morning, I boarded a plane in Asheville headed to Chicago. I’ve been back and forth the past four months helping my mom and dad in Asheville. 

I was flying back to Chicago to see Stone and Eden’s winter play, Murder Can Be Habit-Forming—a comedy about a serial killer that ends up in a convent full of Marys! It was a hilarious! Great job, Stone (as Professor Lewis) & Eden (Asst. Stage Manager)! ⁣
⁣
It was a small plane and I was seated in the last row of the plane at the window with one seat next to me. Across the aisle was the toilet. Prime seating!⁣
⁣
An older woman wearing a Connecticut sweatshirt sat down in the seat next to me and we exchanged hellos and commented on our choice of seats and how lucky we were. 😉⁣
⁣
Normally, I’m quiet on planes. Reading my book, listening to music, resting. But this woman intrigued me. She sparked my curiosity. ⁣
⁣
She had a New York accent so I asked if Asheville was home or if she was traveling home. She replied, “Now don’t get me crying,” and proceeded to tell me how she was traveling to Palm Springs to be with her friend when she received her guide dog. ⁣
⁣
We kept chatting the entire hour and twenty minute flight. I’m sure the other passengers were annoyed with us but we didn’t care. Peg was a joy!⁣
⁣
When the flight attendant finally got to us with the drink cart, I ordered a cup of ice so I could finish my Sprite that I had bought in the terminal. Peg ordered an orange juice so she could mix it with the tiny bottle of vodka she took out of her purse. ⁣
⁣
I poured my Sprite into my cup of ice, watched it fizz up, and put the bottle back on the tray table. (Continued in comments)
S I X T E E N. Happy Birthday, Eden! We love you S I X T E E N.

Happy Birthday, Eden! We love you 🥰
E I G H T E E N. I’m speechless. We love you so E I G H T E E N.

I’m speechless. We love you so much, Stone! Happy Birthday! 🎈#tesellelife
