Even in the midst of the most diverse crowd, Jesus is there. I follow a pastor from a small town in South Carolina on Facebook and Instagram. He popped up on my feed one day, and it was like a lightning strike to my spirit. I felt an immediate connection to him and the message … Continue reading We all need a little Jesus…

Chubbs ❤️
It’s been said that people come into our lives for either a reason, a season, or a lifetime. How incredibly blessed a person is to discover that one person embodies all three. My dear friend Chubbs did just that. He left this earth on December 4th, called home to Glory with an end to over … Continue reading Chubbs ❤️
The Ber Months
We’re almost three weeks into October, deep into the “Ber” months. You know, those four months at the end of the calendar…SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, and DecemBER. The Ber months have some less than favorable qualities among them. The first of these being the drop in temperature. Now, I’ll admit I’m not exactly a fan of … Continue reading The Ber Months
Recovery Matters
Last year, my sister and I joined our county’s opioid overdose coalition. She and I have been very vocal about how fortunate we are to not have to fight addiction, and at the same time how BLESSED we are to be able to support our local community members in recovery. Joining the coalition was a … Continue reading Recovery Matters
The Girl Done Went and Done It!
For about 19 years now, I've been doing my best at being a good mom to the precious angels God entrusted to me. It's more than just teaching them to talk, walk, read, write, play sports, drive, cook, clean, and dress themselves. HAHAHA The labor of love that is being a parent is so much … Continue reading The Girl Done Went and Done It!
Goodbye, 2022!

Some things went according to plan, and some things knocked the wind right outta my chest. My amazing, wonderful, beautiful children graduated high school this year. It was a … Continue reading Goodbye, 2022!
The End of an Era? Or Just the Beginning?
For the past eighteen and a half years or so, my life has been all about the precious angels God trusted to my care. My son and daughter are, without a doubt, the greatest gifts I’ve ever received. I am blessed to have been given the opportunity to be their mom. And let’s be clear…they … Continue reading The End of an Era? Or Just the Beginning?
Reality Can Be a Bitch
I wanted to write this sooner. The truth is, I couldn’t. I needed time to process. Even now, my thoughts are a jumbled mess. This may not be coherent. It won’t be funny. It will be real. Still with me? Ok, here goes… Last Wednesday, our church had the HONOR of hosting a Gratitude Meeting … Continue reading Reality Can Be a Bitch
Happy Birthday to Me!
As I’m writing this, we are one week away from “ME Day,” also known as my birthday. My daughter said to me this afternoon, “Mom, you really are obsessed with your birthday.” You know what? I am! But let me tell you why. For me, birthdays aren’t about lamenting the growing number of candles on … Continue reading Happy Birthday to Me!
The Willingness to Change
My Wednesday evenings spent at church as a liaison for NA meeting always seem to be filled with my most profound thoughts of the week. The only requirement for NA is the willingness to change. It’s such a great message and a powerful mantra. The willingness to change. I’m taking that as my own for … Continue reading The Willingness to Change
