I “heart” To-Do Lists! I LOVE crossing off items from my list, and feeling the accomplishment of completing the task. I know that may sound trivial, and you may wonder if I have a life. I get it. However, what the lists do for me is create a rhythm of order in the midst of…

When we don’t know
We are living in a time when we often don’t know what to do or what we need. I just watched the video of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. speak to the House about the trauma she, her team, and we collectively have dealt with in recent months. As she broke down in tears, I felt…
A reminder to breathe
Oh 2020… So much feels out of control. Overwhelmed is a stop on our daily errand run. Priorities shift like sand through our fingers. With precariousness abounding, one simple yet profound reminder that I must put out into the world today is… to breathe! It seems we are collectively holding our breath these days. We…
His harmonies
Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.

No good very bad days
I have not started my work year off well! Honestly, Friday was baaaaad – mostly my attitude. Total grump for multiple “No good, very bad day” reasons! So I made every effort over the weekend to exercise, be in nature, sleep well, rest, hang with family and get into the Word. It truly was a…
Hope for breaking hearts
Not my writing, but I had to post because this message is relevant and needed. An adaptation posted by Relevant and beautifully written by Sherri Gragg in Advent: The Story of Christmas. Let the meaningful words sit deeply within you, and change your perspective of the Nativity story. On the morning of December 14th, 2012,…
Keep going
I just went to my first yoga class, thanks to one of my best friends. It was gentle yoga and so relaxing. The class helped me realize that I am on the right track on my self-care journey. The last couple weeks I have been a mixed bag of anxiety and melancholy. It’s been hard,…
