Still on my quest to conquer thirty-some years of accumulated ‘stuff,’ I came across remembrances of days that exploded with mama-emotion. Picking up the photo of my friend’s daughter who had passed away several years ago instantly caused my vision to go blurry with a flood of tears. I can remember praying for this young […]

“He Sees Me”
She preps for her day in the usual manner, gathering the bare essentials for the activities and tasks that lay ahead of her. A quick glance in the mirror to make sure her clothing is where it should be (no hiked up back hems of her tunic, no over revealing necklines) and she is ready […]
“What’s in Your Closet?”
I know it’s here — somewhere! UGH! Why can’t I find anything?! It all finally caught up to me — or maybe I should say, I came to my wits end and surrendered to the truth. Our home had become a haven of lost treasures and everything was now apparently lost! When did this happen? […]
“Beauty In The Shadows“
Do you see her? Way in the back … she’s almost undetected. I took a walk through my garden earlier today to take in a few treasured moments of fresh air in the light of the afternoon sunshine. It’s summer in Southern California, which means most florals are in bloom. In our backyard, it’s a […]
“The ‘Who’ of Me”
We know that God works to help those people who love him. He uses everything that happens to them to bring something good. He does this for those people that he has chosen to serve him. Romans 8:28 EASY If you would have told me that when I was a child, I probably would have […]

“The Weight Room or The Wait Room”
Strength training is proven to benefit the body in a multitude of ways. I know this to be true from personal experience. Those of you who know me personally are well aware of my familiarity around the weight room. I am a firm believer that GOD designed our bodies to be strong and healthy, and […]
“When God Calls”
Connecting with people has taken on a new meaning these days — there are just too many options available … My mind wanders what would have happened if Noah had set the “out-of-office” greeting when GOD called upon him to start building the ark for him and his family to receive protection from GOD during […]
“Expect the Unexpected”
It was a warm autumn day when I sat outside of our office suite, savoring my chimichanga del mar for lunch — my fave craving during this latent phase of my pregnancy — when I looked up into that blue sky and asked GOD what He wanted me to do after this third baby was […]
