Just One More Day
She may ask for “just one more day” but I ask for one more lifetime! My first born recently shared her college essay with me & it never ceases to amaze me how creative & intelligent she is. For 13 years it was just her & I. We had all the love & support of…

Finding Myself Through the Chaos of Motherhood
When I first started my blog, I was a single mom to one amazing daughter, working full-time in a well-paid, fulfilling career that I loved. I had worked so hard to reach that position—I spoke it into existence and prayed for it along the way. Back then, I finally felt like I was in a…

Faith, Freedom and a Famous Star Cheeseburger
It’s strange how life can change in an instant, setting us on a new path for the future. If I’m honest, I don’t even remember the last election I voted in—probably back when Bush was elected. Today, walking up to the polling center brought a wave of anxiety I didn’t expect. For those of us…

Where you at though?
I wonder….where do you (reading this) find yourself in life right now with your faith? Are you hardcore like “yes, honk for Jesus!” Are you all day, everyday churchin? Are you like “mmmmm church would burn down when I walk in?” Are you thinking “I’m a little lost, I don’t know if I believe or…

Still Faithful or Nah?

He is always beside me
To the right were a couple of construction workers. To my left, people passing by genuinely smiling & saying good morning. Up ahead were the green trees and an endless, open trail. Behind me…..all of my excuses. I had ventured out on a morning jog to the park and felt liberated. I finally made a…

The Life I Didn’t Choose
I went in circles deciding if I wanted to share the biggest heartache I’ve ever had. See some decisions we regret almost instantly, and some it takes growing up and maturing to realize those choices are permanently damaging. And unlike the decisions I have made in the past, I prayed for God to lead my…

Nostalgia (Part 2)
It wasn’t like I woke up one day and said to myself “I’m going to fall in love today!” I don’t think anyone wakes up or even thinks that way. Because when you fall in love, it’s inevitable. It takes control of your emotions, thoughts & words…..it’s uncontrollable. In fact, it wasn’t love at first…

Nostalgia
The weather was predicted to be rainy that weekend. Even the coast was expected to see some rain. So a trip to the beach wasn’t ideal. But as stubborn as I am, I was determined to take a break and have some time away to relax. I needed to get out of town and head…

Before it’s too late….
The present is a gift. Life is a gift. Love is a gift. We take so many things and important moments for granted. So many things have happened this week that have made me think about the fact, the simple fact, that we do not know how much time we have left on this earth.…

Life is a beach.
We all have that place we like to go when we need to getaway. Our lives may be busy, things may feel like they are falling apart, we get frustrated and need to find calm in the middle of the storm. That place may be a sweet memory and we just want to visit and…
