Peace. Sometimes I’d settle for merely peace in my marriage. I know what many of you are thinking—Peace? I want Spice! Pizzazz! Fireworks! Yeah, I hear you, I want all of those things as well…but occasionally I’d settle for calm. I have a struggle. And maybe you can relate. Sometimes I have a raging fight […]
I have an unusual attachment to coffee mugs. There was one particular mug, which after years of daily use, my adored mug cracked. It felt like a crack in my heart. I set out on a hunt for a replacement mug, but to no avail. Discouraged, I put a plea on Facebook to see if […]
In all of our meaningful relationships, and especially in marriage, being willing to look at yourself through reality eyes will guide the health of the relationship. I don’t know about you, but I can be really mean, mean to the point where I’m embarrassed to share just how mean. I’ll be engaged in a conversation […]
This is the time of year where we look at our past year and forge on to the next. Many make new year’s resolutions. Did you make a list of resolutions for last year? As I look back on last year I am reminded of one of the most growing years of my life. It […]

My eyes fixed on this tiny little beautiful baby. “She’s beautiful,” I said to the stunning mom. This sparked a conversation. All grandmother’s love talking about their grandchildren, and most new mom’s like […]
Sometimes you just have to seize the opportunity when you have it. On Thanksgiving this year while the rest of the family was in the other part of the house enjoying each other I decided to interview my 96 year old father-in-law. You can hear the family in the back round so it’s not the […]
Friend, enjoy this guest post written by my beautiful friend, Seana Scott. Seana is a writer, speaker, wife, and mom if three. The pies are baking. Turkeys are roasting. It’s holiday season! Which brings so much joy and fun in our home as I plan gingerbread-making and Christmas tree decorating—but it also makes me sad. […]
As Thanksgiving day approaches many of us have so many things to be thankful for… Faith, family, friends, health, the upcoming year filled with new adventures, and maybe crossing another item off our bucket list.
