I had just concluded a long day, filled with unexpected disappointments, and my way to cope was to spend some time jabbering on the phone and picking weeds from our flower beds. I know, I know… there were probably a hundred other more productive ways to let off steam, but this way allowed my extroverted … Read more
I like to think that when people’s lives cross with mine, they can see that I am a person of faith merely through our interactions. For some that may be the case, but for others the thought may never cross their mind. You see, I don’t wear a cross necklace, although the one I do … Read more
If you knew shifting your mindset on your New Year’s resolutions could bring you greater success, would you do it?
I call it God. You may call it law of attraction. But either way, there is no denying how the world moves us to meet people exactly when and where we need to. I walked into a networking function last Friday, knowing very few people. Most times this outgoing gal is invigorated by an experience … Read more
Much like the various stages of grief, loss itself is multi-dimensional. Some loss leaves scars deeper than others, but if I’m being honest, a scar is a scar and most remain with you always.

The beach had been calling my name for years. No amount of worry could talk me out of making the trek to the Sunshine State just so that my toes could sink into the sand and my face get sun-kissed with freckles. The kids’ excitement was an added bonus, but in honesty, I was prepared … Read more
Being a parent isn’t for the faint of heart. Even though you know your end reward of raising one of God’s treasured creations is invaluable, the phrase “the days are long” is 100 percent accurate. The days ARE long… and filled with diaper blowouts, lack of sleep, ongoing neediness, inability for alone time, and tons … Read more
My 5-year-old is full of lots of questions, as I’m confident most kids his age are. Some are easy for me to answer. Others, not so much. “Momma, is it a lot far to Mimi’s house or a little far?” A little far, kiddo. Just a blink of an eye and we will be pulling … Read more
