Happy quarantine, day twenty-one. Not sure when your quarantine began, but for Eric and me it began three weeks ago today. How are we doing, you ask? Eric is just great. He has not left the yard, even to drive around the block, and is doing excellently. Me? I am not twitching yet, but I can feel it coming! To keep sane, I have worked primarily under a tree in our backyard. It is amazing what the fresh air does for... well... some of us! How are you doing? It is rare when I write about a current event which touches us all. So often, my experience is limited to my region or country, but … [Read more...]
Hindsight Interview: Chris and Katherine Marlin
Today’s Hindsight interview was especially pleasant because we are all quarantined as a result of COVID-19! It was so nice to spend time with wonderful people – a couple we dearly enjoy. Spending time with happy, thriving former clients reminds us of why we do what we do! Chris and Katherine Marlin came to us over seven years ago during their courtship – both interested in learning, growing, and taking a long, hard look at their relationship. They met at Indiana University in the business school and were also active in Campus Crusade for Christ. Their relationship began during their junior … [Read more...]
Twenty Ways to Connect While Quarantined
What a crazy world we are living in right now. Just eight days ago, I was hanging out with a friend, going to McDonalds, and feeding my dog her very own vanilla ice cream cone. The next day, Eric sent me out to stock up on food. And, since then, I have not left my yard. It is amazing how quickly life can change. During this time, my mind and heart have turned to those expecting babies! One of the couples with whom we previously worked recently gave birth and, thankfully, all went well. We wish them so much joy and health in this uncertain time. Not only babies, but weddings! A super sweet … [Read more...]
Hindsight Reflection: Twenty Tips Regarding Conflict
“But, God, why?!” If I had a dollar for every time I sat in my car or bedroom, crying and asking God, “Why?”, I could buy a year’s supply of tissues. Eric and I love each other, but despite this love, we have “enjoyed” some memorable arguments! I was not prepared for this fact on our wedding day. I thought I was... but I was not... not at all. I was not prepared for us to lose it on each other in the Winnie the Pooh store, Disneyland (circa 2007). I was not prepared for road rage arguments leading to silent and lonely car trips. I was not prepared for the icy stare of an angry … [Read more...]
Personal Hindsight: Should I Have Married Him?
Her tears were evident. As I held onto the phone angrily, I could hear sniffling in the background. With little compassion and a lot of sass, I declared, “You don’t have to be in my wedding if you don’t want to, but I know I am making the right decision.” Through a cracked voice she spoke and said, “I’m sorry, Heather. I was trying to protect you, but I just ended up hurting you.” In my head, I knew that was true. In my heart, I was still upset. Days earlier, this dear friend called and said she could not commit to being in my wedding. I was floored! She went on to say that she was not sure … [Read more...]
