As I have healed I’ve been able to listen to music as it is without being pulled into it. What was an immersion isn't anymore. Instead, I stand on the shore seeing the music, seeing the waves, and appreciating them.

I started writing again because I realized I had stopped forming opinions. Somewhere in survival mode, critical thinking had gotten quiet. Reading The Grapes of Wrath is helping me find that part of myself again, and ask some bigger questions along the way.

What if intentional living isn’t choosing between being present and planning for the future? Maybe it’s both. Maybe it’s learning to live in the tension; grateful for where you are, open to where God is leading, and aware that some seasons will pull you closer to one side than the other. That, for me, is intentional living.

We’re shaped by what has happened to us, but we’re not defined by circumstance alone. Somewhere between who we were and who we’re becoming are the choices, beliefs, reactions, healing, and grace that continue shaping us.

So it's been 5 years since I've really written anything. I mean one message for a women's event and my own journals... while those things are important and a part of this journey I've been on, this is different. I write for a living. Articles, emails, social media. This is different. Over the last several years from Vine to Periscope to Podcasts to TikTok and Reels I've watched as writing has transformed to talking. But it's different. Where to begin? What to say? Who really

The spiritual warfare you live in is meant to take you out! When things come up and you go to fear mode, all these years, if allowed what we'd right down the rabbit hole to fear of death. This takes us right back to the base of our physiological and survival needs. Oftentimes we don't see our goals achieved, completed in their fullness, because we get stuck on the hamster wheel of life. Maslow teaches that these most basic needs are set apart because they have a recurring nat

There are so many narratives in our lives, and our faith narrative is one Of the most important. There are so many narratives about God,...

Narratives, the story lines that dictate what we accept as truth or toss out as trash. Narratives are powerful, they are essentially beliefs. These narratives filter everything that comes into your brain, if it aligns with your narratives it accepts it as truth and lets it stay. If an experience, knowledge, or any life circumstance does not align with your narrative then it kicks it out as trash. What this means is that if you believe you’re not good enough then anything that

The reality you’re living in is the result of the narratives running your life. But guess what, these narratives don’t have to stay around!

We've been chatting about some basic mindset things and how practicing them can help us out in this mom life. So today, let's get a little clarity on what those things are. Intention is the state of mind that you operate from. This is the way that you approach experiences. Intentions require thoughtfulness and planning. Your intention answers the question, "who am I"? Affirmations teach you to believe that something is true. Affirmations are like instructions for your thought

Summertime can be stressful for several reasons. Whether you’re a stay at home mom, work from home mom, or work outside the home mom, when kids come home in the summer things can get a bit more stressful. I remember calling my mom at work so many times when my sisters and I were young that she finally said, “Don’t call here again unless someone is dying.” Haha, we might have been a bit mean to each other and we might have made a few too many calls to her work. Yes, this was b

Mama, you are amazing! Take a moment and hear me saying to you, YOU ARE AMAZING! Being a mom can be so overwhelming sometimes! Relentless even. • Busy running kids all over the place. • There's ALWAYS something to be done. • The monotony kills me! • Frustrated, why can't he help? • They don’t appreciate me. • This is just the way life is. But what if it's not? Each moment is a gift. Don't Waste Another Moment So many moments are wasted because we are focused on the wron

Empowered Choices A Common Theme Lately I have been noticing a common theme in the women who I have had conversations with. There is this thing happening where many women are feeling a lack that is attached to their circumstances. People around you are treating you poorly, if they’re even noticing you at all. Circumstances seem to continue to stack against you. One thing after another comes up and stops you from the thing that you’re trying to get so that you can just keep yo
