In October, it will be five years ago that I left all that I knew in New England and moved to TN. To say that first year was hard would be an understatement. My first apartment saw many tears. I didn’t feel brave. I felt the furthest thing from it. God used that time to … More Oh, So Lonely…God Where Are You?
STOP! Stop what you are doing right now. Stop scrolling through everyone’s highlight reel. Stop comparing your certain situation to other’s accomplishments. Why torture yourself, when you know it won’t do you any good? Put the phone down and live life. Embrace the moments that leave you in awe, embrace the moments that make you … More Stop!
If you read my most recent blog post “Negativity Has No Place Here”, you would have read about some exciting news that I had. A couple of weeks ago, words poured out from my heart onto a blank page.

“Well, that’s cute…” I thought this to myself as I was walking on the treadmill and noticing an older gentleman on a stationary bike in front of me at the gym.

“Well, this is going to take forever…” My friend and I said in unison, as we stepped off the elevator in the parking garage. As we headed to the car, we could see bumper to bumper traffic. We knew it would be awhile before we would be headed back home. We got into the car … More Being Kind Amidst Traffic
When my bare feet hit the hot, gritty sand, I can’t help but think of how tiny one grain of sand is and then how many of pieces of sand I walk on as I head to the ocean. As the water comes into view, I glance at the various shades of blue water. Some waves … More Trusting Through The Waves
