The Power of a Love Song
Music has always been a powerful force and connector for me. When I was young I would always think of the perfect song to communicate what I was thinking or feeling. Songs always seemed to say it better than I could.

On the Move
It’s a fresh, new year and with that comes hopes that I’ll do all the things I dream up in my ENFP brain. As personalitypage.com puts it, we ENFPs “live in the world of possibilities” but “need to focus on following through with our projects”. Yep, that sounds about right. This year, one of those… Continue reading On the Move
“Don’t do as I do”
My company’s safety policy includes restrictions on using cell phones while driving. This week they shared a tragic story involving a teen texting while driving. Her father indicated he was reminded of all the times he’d used the phone while driving during her childhood and the unfortunate example that set.

And one thing I know is… Continue reading Hard Weeks and Hopeful Mornings

I think somewhere deep inside of me I’ve thought that to be the case. But over the past couple of weeks I’ve realized – deeply – just how wrong I… Continue reading The Kindness of Grace
It’s Been Done Before
This week I decided to start down a road that one of my roommates has deemed a bit crazy – and she’s probably right. I decided to start training for a half marathon. That in itself isn’t so crazy; lots of folks around here do that all the time. But I’m going from few and… Continue reading It’s Been Done Before
All About the People
The more traveling I do the more I realize that for me it’s less about the places and more about the people. It all started in Morocco, which I still consider one of my favorite trips. It was a visit filled with new friends and invitations to share mint tea and special meals in the… Continue reading All About the People
