Mother’s Day 2019

Deb Bostwick — Sun, 12 May 2019 21:05:15 +0000

Every Mother’s Day I think about writing about not being a Mother, but then I think, ah it’s been said. Yet deep down, the words start forming, and here you have it. There’s a knock on my soul and I have to write the words and you, my fine friends, are the recipient. I write...

Swimming with Turtles

Deb Bostwick — Sun, 27 Aug 2017 18:11:15 +0000

We paddled out about ¼ mile off the Maui shore. We “anchored” so to speak and the other 5 kayakers started putting on their snorkeling gear. I sat there breathing deep feeling some trepidation that I’d be forced to join in and get in the crystal-clear ocean. And once in, they seriously expected me to...

Growth doesn’t stop in your twenties

Deb Bostwick — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 20:10:04 +0000

It was winter in Maryland. We sat at an old kitchen table taking a breather from cleaning out the family home. We had just eaten our share of crab cakes made with my mother-in-laws special recipe. As conversation bounced from subject to subject, my husbands brother sat and watched analyzing our conversations and answers. And...

Can We Go Worship More?

Deb Bostwick — Wed, 03 May 2017 18:52:18 +0000

Guest Blog: by Linley Sullivan Danielle and Faire look at me eagerly and ask, “Hey can we go to the front to worship more Linley. We will come back to help in a minute, we just want to worship” What else can I say to that statement except “of course”. As they run up to...

Somehow February 21 comes every year.

Deb Bostwick — Wed, 22 Feb 2017 04:59:50 +0000

Somehow February 21 comes every year. It always sneaks up on me. My mother died April 9th, yet that day comes and goes with an acknowledgment but not much else. I suspect February 21 is more significant as I’ve been very aware of it for 52 years. It is the day my father died in...

Waiting for my Muse

Deb Bostwick — Sun, 12 Feb 2017 01:38:00 +0000

Yes, I blog. I blog because I love to express my feelings in writing. To clarify and expand my ideas in black and white. In December, last year, I became a “full-time” writer …which gifted me with “full-time” writer’s block. Because since I now need to write, I can’t … yeah I got nothing. I...

Sunsets, Barney and Snicker Bars

Deb Bostwick — Sat, 28 Jan 2017 04:00:39 +0000

January 27, 2017. My mother would be 84 today. She died when she was 62. I often think, she was just done. She seemed a bit tired of living. Just before she died, she decided to quit radiation for her brain tumor. Chemo never was an option and the radiation was purely to extend her...

True things that go bump in the night

Deb Bostwick — Tue, 01 Nov 2016 05:15:47 +0000

She sat on the long, concrete driveway, bowl of candy in her lap, dishing out handful after handful as the kids just kept coming. The eerie music, chains and screams blared from the front window through old crackling speakers. To the left in the grey-rocked cactus garden stood life-sized mannequins wearing Halloween garb, scary masks,...

Into the Deep…

Deb Bostwick — Tue, 02 Aug 2016 04:28:59 +0000

Tribe 303, as Driven for Life has deemed this session of Teen Leadership Foundation, has graduated. The last couple of days I’ve shared with you about being at this training as a chaperon, sidekick, observer. Sunday was the third and final day, Graduation day. Can you really graduate after only 3 days? When it feels...

Line in the sand … Get it or go home

Deb Bostwick — Sun, 31 Jul 2016 16:37:30 +0000

The room is quiet as the teens try to grab the last few minutes of sleep before day 3 begins at Teen Leadership Foundation. The Arrowhead weather granted a small reprieve last night as the temperatures dropped bringing a refreshing coolness. I wonder if Teen Leadership is more difficult because of the sweltering heat, or...
