sharing our stories
I’m reading Sally Clarkson’s Desperate right now and this quotation struck me the other night. Every person has a different story. We are all living our own. We all aim to live the best story possible. I needed the reminder that I must trust that it is God who will faithfully lead and guide me. Continue reading

you are what you read: episode 002
I have come up with a workable solution to my series I want to begin, “You Are What You Read.” I did face a few technical difficulties with my YouTube video a few weeks ago. I couldn’t seem to fix the settings issue while I was out of town and away from my laptop. And Continue reading

sharing our stories
This sums up where I am with my draft of my book. I am writing publicly for my blog almost daily. The manuscript, I’m almost afraid to open the door when I take long breaks from editing and revising it. Here’s to finding the courage of the lion and talking myself down from my Continue reading

five – alive
At the end of this first quarter of the year, I am pleased to report that I have five plants alive and thriving here at our hacienda. One of my goals for this year was to bring some live plants into the house…and keep them alive. I started with three, had some trouble with one Continue reading

the g-string
In the late summer of 2012, a few months before Ryan left for a tour in Afghanistan, he bought a guitar. He’d had some musical experience growing up. He took piano for a few years and knew some basic reading of music, but for the most part, I can say that he has taught himself Continue reading
