The Great Purge of 2026

I don't make New Years resolutions anymore. The stigma is overwhelming, too much pressure. Instead, I set goals. This year, my number one goal is to de-clutter. Everything. Not just my junk drawer, my office, or my basement. Everything. My email accounts. My social media. My mind. My life. I feel like I'm drowning in … Continue reading The Great Purge of 2026 →

In our house, Christmas doesn’t end when we go to bed on December 25th. We celebrate the entire Christmas season. As the song goes, there are twelve days, beginning with the 25th.

We all need a little Jesus…

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… →

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.

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.

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! →
