Does Shaming People Work?

  I try to keep my “opinions” to myself…or at least keep them in environments I know are healthy or engaging and a two way street of dialogue. I rarely blog these days. I have too many businesses and jobs to chronicle life and one of these days I am going to finish that book…. […]

A Steadfast Savior, social media, and a game changing week!

We live in such a harsh, multi-dimensional world. I’m continuously shocked at how people behave online.

My Brothers, their trip to India, and Part 1 of how they got there.

When Waiting Feels Stupid

I made sure to title this post something epic awesome, hence, When Waiting Feels Stupid. That’s for all the people who are waiting for something and just need to know they’re not the only ones who find the moments in the between the wait and delivery to feel quite stupid. In many ways, the last […]

Honorable Mention

It’s tragically ironic to me that I started writing a book about how to find fulfillment in our life journey prior to entering my own season of really disliking my life. I never thought I’d dislike my life. It seems immensely ungrateful to admit or even type out that I wouldn’t like my life. There […]
