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
For the past 3 years I’ve lived just outside of the city and spent countless time and dollars commuting. Not so much for work, but for the rest of my life. I absolutely love my house and really wish I could just move it. But since that’s not possible I’ve taken steps to move closer… Continue reading A Lesson in a House
I don’t know about you, but I’m not a clear fridge kind of girl. I have magnets, notes, etc. on there. And pictures. I recently did the yearly rotation of photos, replacing the old ones with the updated shots folks sent during the holidays. As I was standing in the kitchen yesterday I looked at… Continue reading Happiness is…Friends on the Fridge
I spent the week after Christmas with my friend Sara in Nashville. I was really looking forward to the break and getting the chance to spend time on more creative things. It ended up being just that.

It is such a powerful thing when we talk with each other about the things that are going on in our hearts and heads. They may not always be things we think of as sin, but I think that often those things we don’t want to “bother” others with are just the things we need… Continue reading Get It Off Your Chest
I just have to take a second to thank all of my wonderful friends. I just love how much of a difference a good conversation with a friend can make. Especially with one that will speak encouragement into your life, talk candidly about the hard stuff, and be intentional about speaking truth and a Godly… Continue reading I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends
A little over a week ago, I’d seriously thought about leaving town for the weekend to visit a friend, but God convinced me I should stick around. Man, is He good. I had an amazing dose of His goodness on Saturday. And the cherry-on-top was that the decision to stay in town meant that I got to experience an amazing surprise… Continue reading Surprise, Surprise
