Humility can be one of the biggest challenges of starting over at any age. Having to learn new things about yourself, others, and new situations can feel intimidating and at times unwelcoming but it is necessary. Avoiding this part of the journey can leave you in a place that was supposed to be the beginning … More Humble Yourself
Hey family! My pastor preached a sermon recently about the day of Pentecost in which the people began to speak in many different languages that they had never spoken before. He lifted from the text that it was one of the ways in which understanding and compassion could happen. People who normally would not … More Tough Conversations
As a recovering perfectionist, I can honestly say that failure never felt so good. I have avoided failure or at least tried to avoid failure by not rocking the boat and doing just enough to “get by” for far too long. It wasn’t until tonight that I realized that I have been living my life … More Failing Great!

Although she was acting in her professional hat it still was her personal … More See Right Through Me
Just sharing some inspiration to fellow bloggers, writers, and authors. Happy Wednesday.
I have been avoiding writing this post for a while. I guess I have avoided it because I am embarrassed to admit that not only am I flawed but I am reaping the penalty of being full of pride. Walk with me on this journey. God has a great sense of humor. I work with … More Sowing and Reaping
Since I have returned to my first love, I have been wondering if writers have a particular writing style? I have looked over some of my old blogs from other sites and my personal facebook page and wondered who is she? Some things that I wrote then still resonate with me today. I pray that … More Writing Style
This morning on my way to drop off my child there was an unexpected detour on the street. Frustrated with this detour from my little shortcut I proceeded southbound on the next street that had a “Do Not Enter” sign at the end of the street. My only option was to go in the opposite … More Just a One Way the Wrong Way
