My husband said, “Why do you make that face? That looks weird.” Making “the face” I said, “This face?” He said, “Yes, that one.” I’m thinking, “Whatever. Who cares? Weirdo.” But then he said, “It’s causing lines in your upper lip.” Now he had my attention. Conclusion: Face gone. Who’s the weirdo now? Aging can […]
I found an interview Katy Perry did about her song, “By the Grace of God.” Katy Perry has won many awards, including 5 American Music Awards, 16 ASCAP Pop Music Awards, and 5 Billboard Music Awards. Her albums have sold more than 43 million copies worldwide. Superstar would definitely be an appropriate title for her. […]
Since the fires in California, I’ve desired to write a post, but anything I would possibly write about seemed trite as I thought about the families devastated by the fires. I just couldn’t bring myself to “carry on” as “usual” while hearing about and watching the mass destruction that’s happening in an area which is […]
This post may not be suitable for some audience members. The reality of freedom can be and often is ugly. Thank you to all the brave men and women who have defended our country. “Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and […]

I had landed a front row seat on my flight home, I was stoked about it too. As I boarded the plane there was a large gentleman sleeping in the aisle seat next to my window front row seat. I couldn’t get past him and had to disturb him to get into my seat. While […]
My husband and I were traveling and had dinner in the restaurant of our hotel. A large group of ladies were seated near us—there were 9 of them. The reason I noticed was because instead of talking to each other they mostly were on their cell phones. I couldn’t understand why a person would make […]
I had postpartum depression after my children were born. It got worse with each baby. On my third baby, which was my last baby, it was almost unbearable. Not only did I have to deal with the postpartum, but knowing it was my last felt so final, so hopeless, like somehow not having any more […]
I had to take Geometry twice in high school just to pass with a C. Not only that, but I also had to give up my lunches to be in Mr. Yamaguchi’s room throughout most of the semester for detention for being late, and to get extra help. And somehow I passed Geometry. I didn’t […]
Matthew 6:19-21 “Do not store up for yourselves treasure on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will […]
