When the world and what’s happening around us begins to feel heavy and out of control, I have to stop and remind myself that everything is a choice. I get to choose the energy that I allow to rest inside me, the thoughts that I let linger in my mind, and most importantly what I… Continue reading Choose Better
One of the things I love to do is share positive quotes on my private Instagram page. I do it for myself as much as I do it in case anyone out there maybe needs to hear some encouragement too. Maybe this year I’ll create a public page that I can connect to here and… Continue reading Hello 2021!
It’s been quite a while since I’ve been on here. Sorry about that. That’s not to say I haven’t been writing though. I’ve just taken to the old fashioned way of pen and paper. I even filled up an entire journal book from front to end. I think that may be a first for me.… Continue reading Such is life.
Last night as I finally called it a day, I rolled to my left side and pulled up the covers around me; and in that second between feeling the comfort and warmth of my bed, I thought of my two girls sleeping soundly in the room next to me and I was filled with such… Continue reading Unfolding What Matters

So I would… Continue reading A whole lot of faith and grace

I often think of the quote “you cannot pour from an empty cup”. It’s the same idea of when you’re in a plane and they tell you that in… Continue reading Can there be balance in Motherhood?
I don’t even know how l will transform this rush of thoughts into words that make sense because I have tears streaming downing my face as I write this. In part they’re tears because I am a sentimental person and something so simple like a scene from a TV show can pull at the depths… Continue reading My happily ever after
Last year around this same time we took a weekend getaway to Avila Beach and stayed at Sycamore Minerals Springs Hotel. My husband had been saying since October this past year that we needed to find some time to getaway, just the two of us. It’s definitely tough what with the holidays, the girls activities… Continue reading Fuel for our marriage
http://www.youtube.com/watch Find a quiet moment where you can press play and listen to this song. I happened to turn on the radio (which was set to to 95.9; Christian music) on my way to pick up Celeste from school this afternoon and this song came on. At first what caught me was how the singer’s… Continue reading “You Say”
