I write this blog for a variety of reasons, and what I choose to or not to write…I also choose for a variety of reasons.

In May of this year, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. And… I [...]
I can feel the prayers working over me, and the calmness slowly flooding my soul. I am just so so thankful for my friends and family who didn’t hesitate to reach out to us today. Thank you so much for shaking me, looking me in the eye, and saying ” This is not a YOU [...]

After 15 hours of driving..Yes, I know it should have only been 12 hours - but, mix in no sleep, dozing off, and directions that assume everyone has a fast pass for tollbooths, and there you go…we are at Izea Fest in Orlando, Florida!
