Survey Takers: Thank you, I love you, You made me cry alligator tears.

I’ve been working on a book for a few years now. Sometimes I find myself engrossed in it and other times I’ve felt like I needed to just walk away. Mostly, I feel like I’ve been living this book and stopping to chronicle the journey.  I haven’t touched the book in months and honestly haven’t […]

The Woman I see

  It was quite a beautiful night last night at Church of the King’s Women’s Night with Sheila Walsh. I was so encouraged and challenged. Sheila’s message on navigating the life storms we face – expected or not – hit so close to home in my heart. The last few years have been stormy to say the […]

Her Miracle. God’s Faithfulness. And my attitude adjustment.

My morning was filled with friend’s sharing one of the most heartwarming, tear flowing videos I’ve ever seen. It’s posted below.  Grab some kleenex, you’ll need them.

The ups and downs of managing health and lifestyle changes

I’m trying to be one those healthy people. You know the ones you kinda want to punch (in the nicest way possible, of course). They make this healthy deal look easy and fun and so attractive. They make green smoothies for breakfast and dinner that actually look like a luxury my tongue doesn’t know how […]

To Refinish or Not to Refinish

I’m a sucker for turning something ugly into something beautiful or something completely satisfactory into something I just like better. Then I bought a house. Furnishing my home and transforming almost every used piece of furniture into something I love was a no brainer. However, now that I’ve moved on to things that will “out […]

How to Rate the Power of Your Testimony

I’m a church kid. Before my existence, I was a church kid. Before my parent’s existence, I was destined to be church kid. When my great grandparents met Jesus, I had no chance…I was going to be a church kid. There’s just no way around it, so we might as well be honest. I’m a […]
