I’m confident that there is a reason that God placed in each of us the ability to not dwell on the fact that there will be a day that it will be our last. At least our last here. We have this uncanny skill of being able to feel invincible while seeing others all around … Read more
I remember years ago a conversation I had with a friend of mine’s mother after church on a Sunday. We had just found out we were pregnant, and my friend was too, and we were all celebrating together about the exciting time that was ahead. After having experienced a loss before, my heart was guarded … Read more
I like to think I’m a risk taker in many aspects of my life. I’ve whitewater rafted and gone snow skiing more times that I can count. I’ve flown in the sky by means of a parasail, although I never could muster up the strength to enjoy the wind in my hair in more adventurous … Read more
Although sometimes I feel like I’m on an island, I’m sure that 9 times out of 10, there are others who very much live in the chaos that I deem normal. But this specific day I am thinking I was in that 10 percent. Those around me didn’t give any indication as such, but my … Read more

And those who help one another for no gain may get a fast pass by the pearly gates and St. Peter’s interrogation. You know who I’m talking … Read more
I know that doctors recommend against it. That there are probably white papers proving long-term effects from it. I know it shouldn’t be considered a babysitter. But when you have three kids, the television doesn’t only become a nice must-have, it becomes a necessary tool for survival. All of those things your momma told you … Read more
If I could schedule a coffee (or chai tea in my case) with my younger self, I’d have a lot to tell her. Like how those over-sized sweatshirts never did any favors for her figure or the belief that being tan is better than being pale was a really a marketing ploy. I’d be sure … Read more
Let’s face it. No one is a fan of Mondays, and anyone who says they are should not be trusted! No matter how much you love your day job or how excited you are for whatever may be looming during the week, no one in their right mind wakes up on Monday wide-eyed and bushy-tailed. … Read more
