How was your trip? 13 of us. All female. 5 days. My first mission trip. Kendall’s first time flying and her first mission. We were able to go due to the generosity of our family, friends, neighbors, and community. We flew out in the middle of a hurricane. God was so present, it was tangible. […]
Take time. Invest in people. It has been some time since I have blogged. I have to be inspired to write. Feel like I have something worth sharing. Perceive that the person taking time to read will be impacted in a positive way. Writing takes time. People take time. Relationships take time. Truly this is […]
Today. A slow Sunday morning before spending some time with God and my thoughts allowed for a quiet coffee and sweet scents of blueberry before teenage noise erupted in the house. One of my favorite times of the week; the sun barely emitting shades of pink and orange in the sky, sweet Maya following my every step […]

Peace or complete chaos? How is it that we can shift that holiday stress into a time of peace and joy? Isn’t that what we are supposed to be celebrating? Peace on Earth, Joy to the World, Oh Holy Night? Living in each day and moment through the time of advent, over Christmas and leading […]
Just kidding, Mom!! I promise I will keep them watered 🙂 We just had my mom in town to visit for a week and in conclusion, I need her around more!! My flowers look gorgeous and our bushes are cut! And no, I did not put my mom to work – she is the complete […]
I originally wrote this blog 4 years ago. Today it speaks to me and thought it might to you, as well. Who are your people? Some of us have one, others have two. Some of us are lucky to have a handful. I feel extremely blessed to have several people in my life and do […]
It’s another rainy Monday here in Charlotte – but this one is different from the last 6 consecutive rainy Mondays! The weekend began with an amazing Friday sharing news with my hubby that is bringing promise and opportunity to an inspiring 2015. I feel filled with abundant love after a beautiful weekend overflowing with laughter. I […]
My baby turns 10 today! We have hit the double digits! Every year on this day, I experience a bit of overwhelming emotion and always wonder if other moms experience the same on their kids’ birthdays.
