For the past few weeks I’ve been very quiet on social media, and I’m extremely grateful for it. I needed time to process, to explore, to learn, and to pursue my new calling. Well, it’s not new; I’m just finally answering God’s call instead of trying to find clever ways around it. The past few […]
Sometimes we need to prune, trim and let go of some things in order to grow stronger where we need to and to focus on where we truly belong. Did you know that plants have a horomone in the tips of growth shoots that creates strength in the strongest branches? The shoots release the horomone […]
Be still. It’s a message I’ve been hearing for weeks, maybe even months. Like many people in our world, I was pushing myself so hard in every aspect of my life and instead of heading in a clear direction, I was spinning my wheels with no forward momentum. What is especially remarkable to me is […]

I know, it’s easy to do- because we preface it with “The new year is going to be so much better because….”, and then you remember and relive all the negative […]
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year…”, right?
