People may forget what you said or what you did but they will always remember how you made them feel. Have you heard this quote before? Does it resonate with you? I have seen this quote from time to time. I’ve thought about, pondered on it and then moved on. I put it out of…

Who will I be? Where will I go? What will I do? These are questions that we begin pondering as of a young age. No later than kindergarten have our parents or an adult personnel asked us “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Often times as children we respond “policeman, firefighter,…

Life, it’s ever changing, ever moving, ever evolving and most definitely ever busy. The average American woman wakes up between 5am and 7am, makes breakfast, packs lunches, showers, gets ready for the work day, makes the bed, gets her children fed and ready for the day and then heads off to sit in traffic for…

It’s a trying time to be alive. Quite honestly the older and wiser I become the less I am able to see the world through the innocent eyes of that of a child. The times we live in are defying times. For those of us trying to live by the word of God and the…

Prayer changes things. I have seen first hand accounts of prayer changing circumstances, changing individuals, lives, hearts and souls. Even having experienced the impactful and profound effect of the power of prayers I often times find it challenging and almost daunting to pray. It’s sad. We are given so many blessings and opportunities by our…

Holiday consumerism and the minimalist, the two just don’t belong and though I may not be a minimalist in comparison to those whom are true minimalist with a 12 item wardrobe and am accounted inventory of every item in the home, I am an intentionalist.

It was a cold December winter evening many years ago. I had finished walking an outdoor holiday festival light show and entered into the gift shop following my mother and daughter.
