Self care is a buzz word.  When it comes to personal development, women’s rights, burn out, workaholics, baby blogs, a spa day, or a business HR meeting the word’s “Self Care”  gives everyone a little thrill. I mean, who doesn’t want to be a little bit more self focused and call it “care”? I’m obviously teasing because taking care of your person is very very important.  After all, half my business is about this! However, many people do not see the importances of using the sam

I love this picture! A fancy plane in mid-air with blue sky’s. Green tree’s and fluffy clouds lying in the background. So great! You could give it a cliquey quote and it could be one of those quintessential 80’s posters that everyone hung up in their sales office’s back in the day. The photo is a snap of my father flying and landing a plane. So obviously it is special to me. It is one of the very few we have of him in action. But even more than that this picture showcases som

There is a natural line-up to life. Your born, you live, you pass on. Much of how we do things in that space also has rhythms. Some of us have better systems in place than others but for the most part we all, Wake-up, brush teeth, work five days (sometimes six), take weekend’s off, vacation once or twice a year. Just like in life, it seems that some people hit the jack pot with their love lives. These are the ones that “got lucky”, made it work, have “an easy go of it”, a sto

Recently in my world overwhelm has played a key role. A role that normally is not noted as a big deal or even much of a thought. Most of the time I can ignore the creeping feelings of anxiousness that I do not have enough time or energy to do all that is in front of me. I usually keep a level head, push back on the feelings of dread, nervousness, worry or fear and chose the “go scared” mentality, “just do the next step” self-talk. I push on. Let’s be honest though. All of us

I often think on goals and end of year projects that loom large as we start to close out the year. At times it can be so daunting and so overwhelming to think on what I haven’t gotten to that I loose sight of how to move forward. How much of your time, energy and focus is spent on thinking about the things that are not finished? We were handed the completion of creation from God himself. It is our job. It was given to us even before sin entered the world, as a gift. We were m

Many people create massive goals and expectations at the beginning of the year. I would like to give you a different way of running life for 2021. Do these seven things weekly. Some weeks may be busy, some weeks you may be on vacation, or running kids to ball practice. These seven thing you can do every single week and they will be life changing. They say that only 60% of resolutions actually happen but that if you create habits you transform. Drink more water. Everyday! What

Each and every one of us are learning. It has been said that children can learn at triple the speed as adults. For example, think of a five year old child. Just four years earlier they were learning to walk and feed themselves with a spoon. Now they are learning to make their beds, read, tie shoes and play sports! It is this incredible phenomenon that I want to utilize to my advantage for my own children’s’ sake and why this year we could all use some extra assistance! That

Dear Kids, We have been praying for you and over you since before you were born. This collection of words that I am about to share are some of the prayers we have prayed and continue to pray over you on an ongoing basis. I am sharing this so that you and others will know the power of God and the love we pour out on you a daily basis because of His grace. These words are a compilation of many sources and scriptures but they are straight from our heart. “We pray for purity in y

How are you energizing your date life? Unless we push ourselves and fuel our creative ideas, most of us will just go into auto pilot. You have a lifetime to unravel the mysteries of their heart, personality, and desires. There are no shortcuts here. Learning the art of dating well is a worthy endeavor to continually cultivate! And you don’t have to have a lot of money to go on a date. So if that’s your excuse let’s get it off the table right now! The date is about the pursuit

My sister recently had a very sweet baby shower. In place of cards, she opted for people to bring her books. Cue music here!! I love books! I love the way they feel, I love the way they smell, the way weight, the paper. I usually visit a bookstore or the library on almost ever single vacation we go on. To me it is the most important stop in our journey. My sister asked me for my list of the top children books she should have. This is of course my personal list and not an exha
