This is the time of year we all make our New Year’s resolutions. Most resolutions are all about ME, and very self-focused. We proclaim, I am not going to do this, I am not going to do that… I am not going to eat this, I am going to eat that… I am not going […]
I’ve been watching Hallmark Christmas movies with my husband y’all. We may be addicted. It has become a new Christmas tradition in the Williams home. I love the happy endings. I wait for it and then act like I didn’t see it coming, “Oh, how sweet, they’re in love.” It seems it’s always the same […]
During this busy Christmas season, we tend run on hyper speed. Try slowing down a bit. Day 12 – Read Psalm chapter 1. Make a list of all the tasks you need to accomplish until Christmas.

Think of all the times you’ve been told no in your life. Did it stop you? Or did you keep going? A while back I held a contest on my blog for a free autographed copy of From Me to We. There was a lovely couple, Arthur & Angela, who won a copy, and they […]
Friends, I am so excited to share this week’s post. Brought back by popular vote is another article written by my daughter. Her post titled Prepare For Poop: Confessions from a New Mom was LOVED. In fact, I arrived to speak at a retreat and the ladies were talking about my blog–but NOT a post […]
Last night my husband and I celebrated 35 years of marriage. While we sat in a romantic restaurant [and by the way, the picture above is not where we were, just the pic I wanted to share] steeling kisses and displaying over-the-top googly eyes and affection it was a huge difference from how the day […]
