We were very glad, once again, that it worked out to have this baby at home and so blessed by the amazing team of midwives who cared for us throughout pregnancy, labor and post-partum. It was wonderful to celebrate a few hours after birth with our family over Abby’s pizza and root ...
I went back to my seat, rather embarrassed because no one in that church had every said a cross or harsh word to me. I began thinking about what I had said. So many times, churches are places that “cross words” are either spoken aloud or thought about. People are actually greeted w...
… hard for me to say. My mom and sister would have had it easier if I’d stayed. My dad would have had it harder (more on that later). My life wouldn’t have been as blessed/lucky as it has been.
Having said that alberta, the land, the mountains and my family are calling me back and I am truly blessed to be able to answer the call. Like the picture my current and my past are side by side and touching and intertwined in such a delightful way.. while my farm and life here is...
lucky to be here, not in Syria. They belonged here. They were getting on with things, shuttling from one arena of activity to another. They were connected to their people at each end of their trajectory, probably pretty closely, and for the time they were in transit they were in loose ...

I. Am. Blessed. P.S. Sorry, mom, that I cussed. But you are badass, and there’s no substitute for that term or sentiment. I love you. Jo O’Hanlon is an adventurer and storyteller. She tries to be honest about the ugly and hard parts of life, and the beautiful parts too. Th...
(one I think of quite often) that I was lucky enough to have a pretty awesome first year of college. This leads me to my point. When most people think of college they think very stereotypically – that may or may not be an actual word – College is supposed to be the time when ...
