In this personal update, I open up about how my life has shifted since my daughter’s cancer diagnosis—emotionally, spiritually, and practically. I share the unexpected peace that came from letting go of the need to "swoop in" and instead just being available. I talk about the tension between wanting to help and learning to respect boundaries, the emotional toll of clutter in someone else’s space, and what it means to slow down and stay close in case I’m needed. If you’ve ever felt torn between doing and being—this one's for you.
Welcome to Oma’s Musings—a cozy space where life slows down, faith runs deep, and the clutter (both physical and emotional) begins to clear. I’m Kathy—wife, mom, Oma, and now navigating this beautifully messy season of retirement. Whether you're downsizing, caregiving, organizing your home, growing in your faith, or simply craving a little peace, you're in the right place. Around here, we keep things simple, soulful, and real.
