I’ve been taking a lot of walks lately. One of my favorite things to do is look up while I am on trails and direct my eyes to the top of the trees. I love the feeling of the trees surrounding me. For some reason it makes me feel grounded and at peace. Trees are… Continue reading Trees & Strength
I recently started a new job. That’s right, a job! I have not worked in almost 10 years. I have been a stay-at-home mom and it’s been my joy. Since moving to Charleston, I have been praying about getting more involved in the adoption/foster care field here in SC. I applied to a few jobs… Continue reading The Evolution of Your Purpose

It took everything in me just to be honest about how I was feeling in that moment but I needed to get… Continue reading When Strength looks like Contentment
“You are a team.” I heard her words and they stuck like glue. A zoom marriage counseling call while the kids were home wasn’t ideal but her reminder was what we both needed in that moment. Things were tense. We were at odds. It didn’t feel like we were a team one bit. It felt… Continue reading Marriage: “You are a team.”
