Why I’m Thankful I Have Covid-19

Last updated on: November 25, 2020 at 11:55 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

Dear Friends, Yep, it’s official. I was sick all last week and received my lab results back on Friday night with the news that I have COVID-19. It has been quite a journey, as I have been pretty sick for most of the past week and although slightly better now, it seems to be a lingering type of illness.

Parents, I have some encouraging news for you. Although we’re all suffering from just a smidge of PTSD this year, we have also learned some really important lessons.

For the Next Few Weeks, We Have a Choice to Make

Last updated on: November 3, 2020 at 2:12 pm By Shaunti Feldhahn

In a few hours, the polls will close. And for the next few days or weeks, we’ll all have a choice to make: how are we going to handle the outcome of the election? Especially if the “outcome” means flying through intense political turbulence, as simmering frustrations, uncertainties and fears boil over around us. If—or more likely, when—we see that turmoil, let’s resolve to be characterized by something very different. No matter what is going on around us, and no... Read more

Why Does What I Buy Make My Husband So Upset?

Last updated on: October 27, 2020 at 9:21 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

Current circumstances have definitely made shopping a little more complicated. If it’s not with masks and social distancing, it’s online shopping for everything from groceries to mattresses to everything in between! (Sooooo many boxes being delivered, am I right?) But what might have stayed exactly the same is the negative reaction you get from your husband when you arrive home from your latest run to the big-box store or yet another Amazon delivery appears at the front door.

A House Divided? Handling Hot Political Discussions Without Getting Burned

Last updated on: October 22, 2020 at 1:21 pm By Shaunti Feldhahn

We talk about “ramping up to the election,” but because of early voting the election is well... Read more
