Summer 2017 – Tiffany LaGorio

HURRICANES

I tend to take the words of those who have been-there-done-that with a little more weight than those who have researched a particular topic. There is just something to be said about actually experiencing a place or event. I can read all about Paris, but to see the emotion and reaction of someone who experiencedContinue reading “HURRICANES”

ENOUGH

I have never been a thin person. I’ve been active and able to do a lot of things, but I’ve never been able to be a smaller size. Healthy, but not thin. I’m more of the, “Oooo, girl, you healthy,” kind of healthy. I believe my southern friends would also say “thick”. I canContinue reading “ENOUGH”

COMMUNITY

As I sit here on my couch, listening to the dishwasher for at least the second time today and finally taking a moment for myself, I am reminded of the importance of community. You see, my husband travels for work periodically, and when he does, it is usually for the majority of the week.Continue reading “COMMUNITY”

TURNING DOWN ERWIN

Early in my college career, I knew that the Lord was calling me to attend seminary. Since the first nudging, I felt as if He was directing me to earn my seminary masters in New Orleans. During my senior year of undergrad, the collegiate ministry at my local church was having a prayer gatheringContinue reading “TURNING DOWN ERWIN”

RUN

In October 2016 my husband and I did something together that I never in a million years thought I would do. We ran a half-marathon. Now, if you saw me, the first thought that would come into your mind would not be, “She looks like a lady who runs half-marathons.” No, it would probablyContinue reading “RUN”

FEAR

It was two o’clock in the morning when I heard it. The dry, barky cough coming from my four-year-old’s room. It didn’t sound like it was deep in his chest, but it was hard enough to cause him to start dry-heaving. My husband and I both got up, jetted across the hallway, and wentContinue reading “FEAR”

FORGETFULNESS

My job is only an astonishing three minutes from my house. It doesn’t take long for me to get ready and out the door, either, yet for one reason, and one reason alone, I barely make it to work on time. This reason? Forgetfulness. Yes, forgetfulness. I will be ready to go and walkingContinue reading “FORGETFULNESS”

JEANS & LEGGINGS

I have a confession. I love leggings. There. I said it. Now, it’s out there for the world to judge me on. And I’m not talking about simply wearing leggings under a skirt. No, I’m talking wearing leggings as pants under a large enough shirt or dress to cover my derriere and still considerContinue reading “JEANS & LEGGINGS”
