I promise I will return tomorrow with a content rich post but today I needed to stop by and quickly share a few more exciting things with y’all. {Did you see the exciting things from yesterday?} First of all, I am excited to be contributing to a wonderful community called The Intentional Lifestyle. The site…

Clutter- what is it and how do you get rid of it?
I am honored to be a contributing writer at Homemaker’s Challenge. Today I am over there talking about clutter and how it takes over (and what you can do about it). Here is an excerpt from the article: The new year is an excellent time to re-evaluate the things and objects that clutter up your…
33 Things I’ve Learned about Life
Today is my birthday {it is Elvis’ birthday too, in case you care}. I have had a wonderful day full of love, laughs and family. Feeling retrospective I decided to chronicle thirty three things I have learned about life {not in any particular order} Polka dots and hot pink make me smile. There are few…
Finding your voice, making your art
If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced. ~Vincent Van Gogh The voice in my head says “you have nothing important to say”, “there are those that say it better, your voice is redundant”, “who are you to think you…
Ebb and Flow of Life
This has been one of those weeks that simulated a roller coaster for my emotions. Up, down, upside down, shoot back up. I’m not a roller coaster type of gal. All of that can leave this mama exhausted in every way possible. Our weekend was full. Of learning, of fellowship, of family fun. The speaker…
Writing an ebook and loving it
I have had two ebook manuscripts sitting in my documents for several months. Fear has kept me from publishing them. That and not knowing what the heck am I doing! I was thrilled when Sarah Mae, co-founder of the Relevant Conference {a life changing weekend for me last October} and author of one of my…
Not wasting a story
How did a girl of nineteen, mama to two under two, take on another, wounded and broken, as her own? God’s grace. How did a family grow, through the pain and the twisted knife of fate, closer together rather than achingly apart? God’s grace. How did a woman break free from the bondage of silence…
Remaining Relevant
The Lord has reminded me {through circumstances and great friends that hold me accountable} that I am gifted to teach and write. Sometimes I let good things get in the way and to be honest and transparent, I have not written {nary a word} in my personal journal or for my manuscript in almost three…
How long must I wait?
I am battling an anxious heart. Not over anything major or even specific. But an unsettled, on-my-way-to-where-I’m-supposed-to-be type of place. Yet, I don’t even know where I’m supposed to be. I think I do. My hubby and I disagree about the route to take. And, I ask. How long, God? How long before you give…
Change of plans
I am a planner. (Big surprise, huh?) God wired me that way so it is okay. But sometimes (when I am trying to handle things on my own) I get overwhelmed and let the pressure weigh me down. Yesterday was going to be “one of those days”. You know the ones? Rush, rush, rush. Work,…
