I have a joke about perspective to tell you. A general and his young subordinate, as well as a Grandmother and her beautiful granddaughter, are riding in the same train cabin. The train goes through a tunnel, and we hear the sound of a kiss, followed immediately by a loud smack against a face. The […]
Have you fasted recently? When was the last time you went a period of time without food or a specific thing? We’re not talking about forgetting to eat a breakfast or forgetting to check Instagram at night. When was the last time that you actually fasted from something for the specific purpose of drawing closer […]
My hair stylist, Olivia, happens to be an amazing singer and songwriter in addition to her mad hair skills. If you happen to live locally, you will see her popping up to sing at restaurants and cultural events around town. She’s got something cool going right now called “Memories […]
As I recall my early childhood, I distinctly remember joining my classmates every morning as we said the Pledge of Allegiance. In unison, we joined our friends and teachers and gave our promise to our country. Though we may not have understood all that this implied, we faithfully pledged every day. As I’ve grown up, […]

As 2017 continues to roll along, I thought I would take some time to meditate on self-discipline. Truthfully, it was a conversation with a dear friend of mine that got me going on this path. My friend offered me books by a well-known author on personal development, and I asked him if he read the […]
All too often I find myself in the checkout line at Michaels or Old Navy, having successfully completed my shopping, only to be met face to face with a beautiful shelf full of amazing stuff I don’t need! My radar instantly goes to the ON mode and I begin looking for that special something I […]
Why Me? I’ll never forget growing up in a house with five kids. If my mom would have collected a quarter every time someone said “why do I have to do it?” or “why can’t (insert sibling name) do it?”, she would never have to worry about money! As we grow into adults, we find […]
New Year’s Revelation I’m the kind of person who prefers a clean plate for dessert. My husband doesn’t seem to mind if his piece of cake is swimming in remnants of spaghetti. I’d rather have a clean plate as well as a clean fork, even if it means doing a few extra dishes. To me, […]
