If you know anything about me, you’ll know how easily my inner-child is delighted. It’s rather ridiculous, actually. I don’t think she gets out much, personally. Remember the time God scribbled a heart of clouds in the sky for my wee lass. Woah mama. Well, He did it again…{while this photo does it little justice…this blueberry was heart shaped!} …and… Read More
Lettuce Be Real
It came up in conversation with a precious friend the other day…the difference between how cool and confident we may appear on the outside, and how insecure and fearful we may be on the inside. And, as it often does when I process ‘life’, my garden came to mind. I’ve never grown lettuce before, and was quite delighted at the… Read More
My Baby Daddy: A Tribute
“The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother” ~ Rev. Theodore Hesburgh My husband, and best friend…their daddy, and hero. I overhear them in the garage. He is guiding the little boy whose lips might possibly be the most kissable in all the world – in how to hit the nail just… Read More
Cake Pops for Africa
I heart Africa, it’s no surprise. It’s been almost 5 years since I was ‘home’. So until we can return, as a family {with children old enough to endure appreciate the journey over the ocean}, to touch her soil and kiss her people, we will live vicariously through my baby sister who has just landed in Kenya, will be working… Read More

The Motherload of Wellness Thoughts
{I shared some of my notes from Temple Care 101 almost a year ago, but having just spoken on this subject a couple of weeks ago reignited my passion, so I wanted to revisit it and make the handouts available to you too!} While often discarded as Eastern mysticism, I firmly believe the concept of Wellness is dear to… Read More

Weeding & Seeding: The Promise of ‘Instead’
I squat, huddled in decidedly Wintery garb, bracing against the force of this chilled Spring wind, soaking up every drop of warmth it haphazardly flings my way. Digging and ripping. Nails, encrusted with dirt. Weeds seem to have taken hold early this year. Or is it that they too have simply capitalized on the sunshine and forced themselves to the… Read More
Processing Life.
Life is fragile, this we know well. But we far too easily forget. We are rocked from our comfortable little worlds when headlines bleed with news of faithful soldiers and innocent civilians lost amidst the whirlwind of war, precious little lives snuffed out at the hands of those entrusted to protect and provide for them, hundreds upon thousands of… Read More
