When I was a kid, teachers often used this typical icebreaker at the beginning of the school year to help us get to know one another. We’d go around the room, share our name and then name a fruit that started with the same letter. Mine was easy. Stephanie. Strawberry. As luck would have it,…
I went to bed giddy, like a child does the night before their birthday or on Christmas Eve. Much like they are excited in anticipation of the gifts that await them to unwrap early the morning following; I was excited about the journey I was embarking upon after I concluded my evening slumber. I awoke…
Years ago, in the thick of pregnancy insomnia, the Lord whispered in my ear the same message He did about six months prior to my 40th birthday. Stephanie, we need to talk. A decade or so prior, my response to His nudge was early morning journaling. Since my mind moves faster than pens in my…
“Hurry is the death of prayer and only impedes and spoils our work. It never advances it.” — John Mark Comer, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry I was delighted when a friend asked me to join a book club. (Thanks Lorna!) Me, an author, being asked to be in a book club not come to…

My friend had a new pep to her step that day. She brought her family over for a playdate; something that has become so rare in pandemic times. Her eyes lit up like an inner light was turned on from within. It was exciting to see, but it was even more exciting to see why….

When life gets chaotic,…
When I picked up the watercolors at my kid’s favorite toy store, secretly I was just as excited for my daughter to open them as she was. I had been vying the pearlescent beauties for weeks, and when she decided to spend the money her grandma gifted her with on a different toy — one…
I’m giving it one more day before it all gets taken down and gently repackaged into the decade-old boxes that are still holding together by just a few fragments of cardboard. Each ornament will get tucked away until the season emerges again next year. The opened presents will find their way into their forever spots…
Some people have a junk drawer, filled to the brim with odds and ends of all sorts. If you go perusing, you may find a solitary Band-Aid or a pen that’s been chewed on and doesn’t work anymore.
