The How in “How are you doing?”
I get asked every day how I am doing with all that is happening in our family. A little question that people sincerely want an answer to. I share that I am seeing God work in all things and that it is an adventure-of-sorts that we are on. I talk about how every week,...

choosing Love and connection (part 2)

choosing Love and connection (part 1)

Blessings before the finish line

an invitation to surrender
Life's uncertainty is relentless. Every moment a new twist or turn in what we thought was a sure thing or something to be counted on. It seems crazy to me that I am not riddled with fear and anxiety. I mean, I was, but then I just decided not to be. Easy as that...
