I want to give you permission to goal as you go. Are you feeling the pressure to pursue it all? Be it all? Squeeze into it all (my pants are so tight right now–please tell me I’m not alone. No seriously, leave me a comment)? If so… read on!   I don’t know about you […]

A little note for the stressed, the frazzled, the uncertain. RELAX, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. Did you know it actually says this in the Bible? In more than one place (Jude 1, Lamentations 3:57 MSG) Someone, in my life, used to tell me this often and I believed it. I believed it with […]

  I’ve always struggled with fear. It’s been something that I’ve battled since I was a small child. In my teens, I came to understand that fear is not from God. That Jesus paid a great price to free me from all of my fears. I made a decision that fear was not going to have […]

There is power in “Thank you.” A few ways to bring change and be changed by the words you were taught when you were, likely, two. “Thank you” is for others, but it is also for you. It’s that time of the year. November is the month where we are inundated with reminders to be […]

Confessions of an over-apologizer . . . and, why I want to apologize less. ____ I’m trying to apologize less.

  Have you ever felt so completely stuck? Like you are flat out of options. Like choice is a luxury. Me too . . . (this is a re-post from my Instagram. I wanted to share in this space as I know not everyone is following along everywhere).   There are times in life when we […]

On Change. On what has a hold on us. On Freedom. The 4th of July always makes me feel free. Or, at least, it did. Not so much because I’m free from England (I love England almost as much as I love America). But because it always made me feel like a kid–again. For me, childhood, is the […]

Otherwise titled: 30 Days to 40. Otherwise titled: “Who other’s say I am, is not who I am. Who I think I am is not entirely who I am.” Keep reading to join this 30-day journey (re-set) with me . . . I’m 30 days away from turning 40. It’s a pivotal age. A sometimes […]

To all the lonely hearts. Loneliness doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t matter if you are alone or together. Married or single. Young or old.
