I don’t know if this is the “right” thing to write, or feel or do, but I know I have to do something different. I have to be honest and share my story. The past 4 months, I’ve been “stuck” dealing with so many emotions and thoughts that I didn’t feel were “right” so I … Continue reading Opening The Blinds: Doing Whatever It Takes To Let The Light Back In

Are Social Media Posts Our Generation’s Diamonds?
Are social media posts becoming our generation’s diamonds? My answer is maybe. For some of you, I’m about to really spoil something that has a super strong association in your mind, so beware. Diamonds only became a symbol of love and engagement about a century ago. Women receiving diamonds as a symbol of their significant … Continue reading Are Social Media Posts Our Generation’s Diamonds?

Day 1 #MY31PRAYERS
Day 1 So today is the first day of #MY31PRAYERS which means it’s time to be honest and vulnerable about where I am with God, or the Divine, or whatever you would like to label it.

Embrace: Heights
I'm afraid of heights, but it's not a typical fear of heights. See... I absolutely love to fly. It doesn't scare me, but standing, waking, or really any elevated activity that requires me to rely on my own two feet terrifies me... ...Which is why it was crazy that I said, "Yeah! Of course!!" When … Continue reading Embrace: Heights

The problem is, we often don't accept our miracles, or we possibly just overlook them because we are busy. Miracles come in all shapes and sizes.
