(Click here for Audio only version) Guilty. 100%. Well maybe 60%. I’m partially recovered thanks to age, wisdom and the grace of God. I’m not necessarily proud of this, but I’m your classic "people pleaser." We’re not all that bad though, really. In fact, we have some pretty awesome traits if I do say so myself… but… we could definitely use a little work. What does it really mean to be a “people pleaser” anyway? I label myself this all the time, as if to justify this obsessive ... VIEW POST
Are You a “People Pleaser?” Why It’s Not Easy, But You Are More Than Enough.
Redefining Beautiful: More Than What You See In the Mirror
This picture of me was not easy to take. At all… So why did I do it? Actually, I did it for you, and I did it for me. Let me explain.... Do you really believe you are beautiful? Do I? The vulnerable truth is… Most of the time, I’m not sure I truly do. Not in this reflection anyway. Not when I first roll out of bed in the morning in the natural state God made me. You know, a bit puffy, no make-up, unshowered, unbrushed hair, and as you see here, with this attractive belly brace on - my last ... VIEW POST
Letting a Dream Die to Prepare to Receive It: Growing Our Family
My journal entry, July 31, 2017… I literally fell to the floor of my bedroom closet early this morning when that little line appeared… in absolute AWE! In awe of God’s Love, in awe of His faithfulness, in awe of His power, and His PLAN… for me, for Michael, for our three kids, our whole family. I hope and pray I can put all the pieces together in writing someday… to remind me of how God nudged me, spoke to me, worked in me, worked through others to show me His desire for me. To remind me how ... VIEW POST
Sometimes You Have to Let a Dream Die to Prepare to Receive It: Finding Love
July 31st will forever be a date I remember… Two of the most pivotal days of my life were marked by this date. Two days, 14 years apart… Part One: July 31, 2003… It was a hot and very humid summer day in Louisville, Kentucky. My sister had invited me to a Louisville Bats Baseball game in her company suite after work. If I’m being honest, I never was much for baseball. Football, yes! Baseball? No, thanks! Bor-ing! But yet, I was 23-years-young, and single, and seriously had nothing else ... VIEW POST
3 Things I Realized the Day My Son Stopped Needing Me
I had no idea it would happen so fast. They say the days are long and the years are short and I was starting to get it. It all began to hit me in the fall of 2015. Our then family of only five was about to take off on a trip of a lifetime to Disney World. I hadn’t been since my one and only trip at the age of fifteen and my husband once at thirteen. We couldn’t wait to see the kids faces when we walked into the Magic Kingdom. I could picture it; the awe, the amazement, the joy all over their ... VIEW POST
