Before You Set Any New Year Resolutions…

Balanced Living

There's no doubt this year has been unlike any other. Yet, still, there's much to be grateful for. One tradition I practice before ringing in a New Year, & invite you to join me, is to express gratitude for something accomplished or achieved over the past 12 months.

Perfectly Planned delivery of baby Jesus

Perfectly Planned

Soul Food

As nostalgic as it sounds, I can't imagine Mary dreamed of having her baby in a barn. Being surrounded by animals and hay probably wasn't how she planned her delivery would go.  Yet when the time came, she had peace and understanding she was where she was supposed to be.  Through her faith, she trusted there was a plan.  Today the baby born in a barn is still the most ...

Sh*tty and Spectacular of Life Secluded

Balanced Living

Everything isn't sh*tty. Nor is everything spectacular.  Secluded life has shown us this.  Last week I had a girls night...on Zoom.  Eight weeks earlier, we were in a restaurant being served good food and even better drinks. We laughed till we cried and laughed some more.  We left well-nourished.  We didn't know how things were about to change.  The ...

The Purpose of Pain?

Uncategorized

Today I'm sharing something I wrote about twelve months after my hip surgery. From being unable to walk without keeling over in pain to being back to most things, yet some things will never be the same, and learning that maybe that's okay.

His mind was flooded with the “thoughts” again. Fear and worry started to consume him. Was doomsday really going to happen? Then he heard… "What are you so scared of?
