    She stood in perfection. Sheer utter perfection. The perfect woman, with the perfect body. Frizz free hair in the perfect climate controlled garden.

  • 10 Days of Gratitude

    , , , , , ,

    It’s crazy for me to process that Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK!!!!! Where has this year gone???? My heart has been all things thankful lately.

  • FREE Devotional Series Just For You!

    , , , ,

      There’s this thing called “platform” in the writing/speaking world….I have a love/hate relationship with the word. Publishers and agents use it to describe how many “followers” a person has. In a marketing aspect I TOTALLY understand why it’s important. As a teacher of the Word, it really doesn’t matter. I’m not in this for… Read more

    I love holidays like Valentine’s Day! I know so many people say it just a money maker event for Hallmark cards and flower shops, but I love it.

  • The art of a run

    , , , ,

    I’m not a lover of running. Let’s be clear here. I have friends who run dozens of miles at a time and love it…..I don’t. I feel like a thudding elephant when I run. With that said, I must confess I have fallen in love with the art of running. A year and a half… Read more

  • When “me” becomes “we”

    I have this gratitude calendar I’ve been keeping all year.
