It’s National Girlfriend Day and I’m not kidding when I say everyone needs a girlfriend. No, I’m not talking the romantic kind, I mean the 3am phone call, come over when my house is a disaster, distract me with a drive to nowhere in particular, meet me on a whim kind...

Have you ever driven across the country? Growing up I could honestly say I had visited more countries outside of the United States than actual states within the US. I don’t share that to brag, I share that because as someone born and raised in the US, I hadn’t really...

I love a good challenge, especially one that I know will test both my physical and mental strength. I half knew what I was getting into when I said yes to running the endurance course (otherwise known as the e-course) at the naval academy in Annapolis, MD. Half knew…....

My gut said to write this. My human brain said “oh no, you don’t want to do that.” I’ve written about God, Jesus and my faith before. I know there is some unsolicited judgment that will come from it, and you might even unsubscribe. Oh well. And I don’t say that...

There’s only one way to do something, right? Um, wrong! I know you all know this already… but there is ALWAYS more than one way to do something. Take for example, your schedule. I bet that if you’re anything like me, and if you’ve had anything...

Thoughts: Water created the arches and the canyons in Arches and Canyonlands National Parks in Moab, UT. I’m sure in other places as well, but these are the two parks we recently visited so these are the parks that I am referencing here today. Someday I’ll get to...

I don’t typically like to write about myself. I’m weird like that I guess. Not someone who likes to talk about herself either, which is why this post is in a totally separate category. I’ve been humbled. Humbled in the most amazing way. Humbled by being lifted up in...

“I want, I want, I want!” Those were the words my parents would throw back at me when I was younger, complaining or clamoring for them to buy or give me something I wanted. They always said it back to me in this overly dramatic whiny voice, as if to make a point of...
