    Sometimes I fly… Sometimes I lie…both are ok

    by

    So often people ask me how can I do so much... I think they often assume I am wearing my superwoman cape every day to help me fly through life doing all that I do. However, I loved this picture from the The Happiness Project because it so clearly demonstrates my life and my energy. Although most know me as an Extrovert- I truly am an introvert, or maybe more accurately an Ambivert- basically … [Read more...] about Sometimes I fly… Sometimes I lie…both are ok

    Are you Balanced???

    by

    Recently I lead a Bible study on Balance. 🔄. One of the first questions I asked the women was to think about 💬what are their priorities? Because often we notice we are out of balance 🔀 when we are not living our life according to what is most important to us. 💝 So use this little visual to help you restore balance 🔄 in your life and help you live a life … [Read more...] about Are you Balanced???

    I spend a lot of time talking about being PRESENT; especially as a mom.  The idea of being in the MOMent has never meant so much to me as a mom as it does right this minute… When my kids were little, I mean like diapers-and-naps- little, women would always approach me and say, “Oh dearie, enJOY this MOMent… it goes by so fast.”  Many times I would look at them and be like… REALLY?  REALLY?! … [Read more...] about Finding JOY right now.  Here.

    Results of my week long media fast.

    by

    I decided it was time to unplug from EVERYTHINIG for a while to just feel reconnected to ME and MY world.  As of 5 p.m. on Sunday I signed off of Facebook, instagram, twitter (which to be honest I still don’t understand!) snapchat, words with friends, Netflix and my tv.  My goal was simple.... UNPLUG my life to RECHARGE my soul... I find that so often we can fall into the trap of comparing … [Read more...] about Results of my week long media fast.

    28 days of love

    by

    This is not your usual "love" post... About a month ago, I was having one of those (seems to be daily) talks with my teenage son about getting things done,  picked up, put away...etc.... You know the kind of daily "talks" we as moms seem to have oh so often with our kids.  In the middle of the conversation he told me to "Stop right there".  I was caught off gaurd and asked him why.  He then … [Read more...] about 28 days of love

    Ugh… when will these dreary, rainy days end?  Spring, Texas is NOT known for yucky weather like we are having.  It is known for sunny, big, blue Texas skies…It’s been raining and cold for almost 10 days!  Ok, I realized how wimpy that sounded. WOW…10 whole days of winter bleck… haha.  I admit it, I’m a baby. I love how many days the sun shines in Texas, far more than it did in the Chicago and … [Read more...] about pushing through blah
