I love this quote and yes, I also love this show too. It evokes all the feels. Pretty much every morning I like to look up quotes that go with what I need that day, and today my keyword was strength. I think for the most part I’m a pretty positive person. I like to… Continue reading Seeing through the the lens of goodness and love
This season I am focusing on being conscious of how much I say yes to so that we can all enjoy what we do attend to the fullest.

I am a lonely voice in the dark. Sitting here on our bathroom floor it hits me that I have become a line I once read in a book. I am so emotionally and physically exhausted it feels like my body is floating. All I want to do is close my eyes and cry. For… Continue reading The lonely voice of a mom
I read somewhere that young children tend to open up and share most when they are chatting while riding in the back seat or during bath time.
