sharing our stories
Working toward a goal or dream is sometimes a thankless and unnoticed job. Leading, sacrificing and taking risks take time, dedication and work. On the days when no one seems to notice or get it or respond, the dream is still alive. Your faith in your goal (mission) is still so worth the effort. *****… Continue reading

his number one fan
Growing up, my dad coached all of us kids in various sports. He was a little league baseball and basketball coach for my brother, and maybe tackle football. He coached my sister and me in church basketball and church softball. Even as a grown adult, my dad still coached our women’s church softball team. That’s… Continue reading

it’s not the one who plants or the one who waters
This year I have taken notice of the many metaphors with plants and growth. I have written about my own Failure to Thrive and the important repotting process. I have written about how you can have All the Right Moves, and sometimes the process ends up being more important that the product. I have written about how… Continue reading

Ultimately, I find the tenor and tone of my blog often way too serious and… Continue reading

whatever it takes
I haven’t always been the best about taking the time away I need for me. In certain seasons of life it just hasn’t been practical but having come off of a few tough years (deployments, moves, transitions) I am learning more and more that practical or not, mama needs a break every now and again.… Continue reading

sharing our stories
I think life sometimes trains us to expect that the big, and monumental, and peaks are the only moments that count. It’s just not true. It really is all of the little moments that all add up to make a life. As our stories unfold, I pray that I don’t get too short sided… Continue reading

on purpose
I knew it would only be a matter of time. I’ve been writing and planning and editing and organizing my thoughts for this space. I come here ready most days each week. (Although technically, I’m getting better at planning content and posts in advance.) I come here faithfully not for you, but for me. It… Continue reading
