God is working all around us…do you see Him? 3 questions to ask if it doesn’t seem like He’s there
Have you ever heard that Albert Einstein quote, “Coincidences are God’s way of remaining anonymous.” I personally don’t believe in coincidences; I truly feel that when they happen we are witnessing God’s hand at work and personal intervening in our lives. And for me lately, they’ve been happening faster and faster and more frequently. And…

The unexpected lessons from my fender bender
I absolutely love this quote by Maya Angelou, but I’d like to add one more thing from my experience today: 4) Being in a fender bender. The lady who backed into me was so apologetic and kept saying, “Thank you so much for not yelling at me!” Wait a second. …..WHAT??! You’re very welcome for…

Our Faith + Our Health. How completely interconnected they are…
I’m coming down from a beautiful heart-awakening women’s retreat this past weekend and letting the new truths and self-discovery settle in and NOT be forgotten. It’s so easy to have “moments” of insight, but to quickly get back into the daily routine and let them get pushed aside, never fully taking hold for the long-term.…

Taking that next single step toward better health…here’s how to keep the right perspective
One step closer. One action and one day at a time. #justkeepswimming That’s how you achieve your goal. That’s how you cross the finish line.

Lessons about God–from my CAT (you’ve gotta hear this!)
Ok, hear me out on this one. I know the title was a little “cheeky”but it was meant to be! But it doesn’t make my experience at the Vet yesterday any less valid… So yesterday I had to take my cat, M.C., to the vet for his yearly flea medication refill and check-up. Poor guy…

When you’ve let yourself down……Again!…(that was me….YESTERDAY!)
Not again…I was determined! I was dedicated! I was FINALLY making progress! And what did I do? I screwed it up. I self-sabotaged. I intentionally tried to mess it up! Can you relate? I see this pattern as I start to make progress in my weight loss goals, and my better judgement gets pushed aside…

When there are no words and our hearts are broken…
What a night. There are so many broken hearts. How do we handle this pain? I almost never watch the news, and I barely hear about things everyone else has been talking about until way after fact, if at all. But in wake of yesterday’s events in Dallas, it was all over social media and…

Sometimes you just need a *break*– give it to God and REST!
We are going 100 miles a minute almost ALL the time… Sometimes we just need a break. A time out. A rest. Two things that help amidst chaos and overwhelm are prayer (aka letting go) and journaling. When we decide we’re no longer going to shoulder the burden, God has been waiting all along for…
