So often, I voice my opinions and air every single solitary thought in my head—out loud. It reminded me that of those two questions I try to ask Paul daily. Two simple things I believe can help change your marriage. Heading up to his office, I brought him a steaming cup of tea and threw my arms around his neck. “What can I do for you today?” … [Read more...]
Return to Me
I've been MIA for quite awhile. While I'd LOVE to justify my absence with my nonfiction book, or dazzle you with the harried life of a mom of four children and toss in our move to Tennessee to garner a little sympathy... I just can't. For the sake of being transparent, I've been avoiding this sweet spot on the web. Why? Once I … [Read more...]
The Cure for the “Perfect” Life
I'm a bookaholic. I truly am. As I write this, ten feet away from me are three boxes of books. They traveled with us from California to Tennessee...and Paul begged me to get rid of them. I thinned the herd but there's no way I'm parting with these select few. Why am I telling you all this? Because "The Cure for the Perfect Life" is going to … [Read more...]
What’s Your True Identity?
Hey friends, I'm packing my bags and heading out to encourage women at The Better Together Conference. I'll be on my plane to Jacksonville in a few short hours.

Israel – The True Story
Hey friends-- I'm grateful to belong to a pretty amazing church family. There are some messages I just have to share. With all that's going on in Israel right now it's important to be informed. Well, our pastor returned a few days ago from the war zone there and does a wonderful job at explaining what is really going on in that part of the … [Read more...]
Be Encouraged Today
This morning I was reading through Nehemiah to prepare for The Better Together Conference next week and read these words by Pastor T.D. Jakes. I couldn't have needed them more. They brought me to a much-needed place of prayer between me and God--of confession, and restoration of my heart. I wonder if you need to read these words too? I pray … [Read more...]
I’ve Missed My Tennessee Home
We just returned home from a trip to D.C. and we are exhausted--at least I am. (My kids have supernatural bounce-back power.) There was so much I learned and so much I photographed in the hopes of sharing stories about America's history here with you. Whether I was reading words inscribed at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, or the Lincoln Memorial … [Read more...]
Where are you older woman?
I’ve observed something while travelling across the country; the gatherings at church's and women’s conferences seem to be missing representation. While I love to encourage women at these events, there is a piece of womanhood that is absent. Sure, there are gaggles of ladies who gather still, sharing stories about their young children and a … [Read more...]

Author, … [Read more...]
I Need Some Help Here! What about you?
Do you have a few kids at home? Summertime can be the most trying on a mother's nerves, am I right or what!? But, what about those bigger moments. Frustrations not easily answered with a cherry Popsicle or an afternoon nap. As much as I love my little darlings, after breakfast I'm already in need of some encouragement. If you can relate, then … [Read more...]
