Friends, I want to reflect & celebrate together! This month marks two years of writing this blog. I remember it like it was yesterday as I taught myself how to start a website and make goals to launch my writing before a milestone birthday. Writing is just one thing that has opened the way to […]
Have you ever wanted to make a choice immediately but know you need to seek the Holy Spirit for actual direction? I encounter the in-between plenty of times when seeking direction for a decision. The last blog post was about the middle, and I find myself here again. Maybe you’re still in the middle, too? […]
Finished. Do you have any projects or goals you’re working on that you’re anticipating the finish line? I just finished some kitchen renovations that nearly took the entire summer to complete. We painted our kitchen cabinets, and while I read about how complex a process it could be, I was determined to make it through. […]
As I make my morning drive, opting for the country back road, I admire the sunrise every time and can’t help but notice all the gardens.

We’ll forget things and sometimes just say the wrong things. And sometimes, we can’t keep up with everything, and that’s okay. Just the other day, I […]
There is a lesson in everything, including cleaning out the closet. I did some spring cleaning, trying to minimize the stuff in my house. There’s just something about getting rid of things you don’t need. It’s like fresh air once you make some space. While cleaning the cluttered closet, I’ve reflected on some things. First, […]
Have you ever bought that out-of-season item because it was an excellent deal? I’m typically the in-season type of person, but this time, I ventured out of my norm and purchased a Christmas sweatshirt at one of my favorite stores.
