Marley Catherine Doss

Here's a picture of the very real, my new niece, Marley.
Derek, my brother, loves his new daughter Marley. There are many stories he should not tell her, but there is much love he has to give her.

15 Years Later

What do you do when your best friend from 15 years tells you over a glass of wine at 5:00 on a Saturday...during a conversation about, "What do I need to hear to put me in my place?" ....

Especially when I thought I already was in my place...

Says, Margo to Emily: I think you know how to do things, how to get the job done, how to get what you want. The knowledge is there, but it's getting you to actually do it that's the problem. You are afraid of failure while doing whatever that thing is, of falling flat on your face after you try and really risk something.

But you know what I think? She's impulsive and thinks she's right all the time. Just kidding, she knows me better than anyone else.

Wow, that was a vulnerable post. Thank God for best friends, especially the ones that are good at interrupting people and just thinking they're cute.
