Happy Monday! And Happy New Year! :) I hope the new year is off to a great start for you! I love the time of reflection that the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one brings. This past year was full of a lot of hard work, traveling, sacrifices and busy-ness. The Lord has been working on my heart over the past several weeks about making 2015 different. After a lot of thought, I decided that my "word" for 2015 will be ...

Breaking Free from Fear and Becoming Fearless
Don't you love your comfort zone? Um, don't we all? I like my comfort zone. It is nice, cozy and peaceful. I would prefer to never be taken out of my comfort zone. The thing is...comfort zones don't stretch us and make us grow. They don't make us better people. We get to just slide on by easy peasy. That sounds nice in a way, but I want to be a better person. I don't want to be ruled by my unfounded fears. I have struggled with a multitude ...
finding beauty in the mundane
I'm on a mission of finding beauty in every day life. You know, the mundane. The stuff you do every day that seems just like routine. The things you could do in your sleep. That stuff. Cutting up cheese, avocados and apples. Wiping hands and sweet faces. Re-washing that sour load of laundry at least once. Sweeping up left over animal cracker crumbs. Laughing at the antics of my boys. Going on a treasure hunt for socks that ...
Everyone Needs A Happy Place
Well, hello there! :) Some of you were probably wondering if I fell off the face of the earth and others probably didn't even realize I hadn't blogged in almost two weeks. The blog hasn't been that quiet in a very long time. I just needed some quiet. I was in Salt Lake City for the Young Living convention and oh, my word, it was AMAZING, mind blowing and fabulous. I got back from convention and I really just wanted to spend time with my boys. ...
How I Kick Fear In The Booty Daily!
I want to share a bit of my heart today about motherhood...and fear. This is a topic that I've been thinking on for a while and I've just got to get it out there, because I feel sure that I'm not alone. I'll be honest. I'm a worrier. Of the worst sort. I have learned to stay away from Dr. Google, lest I self-diagnose myself {or a family member} with some fatal disease. I recognize that I deal with fear a lot. And I'm working on it big ...
Remembering Sandy Hook
My heart is so heavy as I consider the tragic loss of life in Connecticut this past Friday. It's just so wrong. Those precious babies, the teachers and staff mercilessly robbed of the gift of life. I really have no words. via He is near those who have broken hearts. Those brokenhearted mommas, daddys, sisters, brothers and friends -- He is near. Please join me in praying for those mourning, hurting hearts in Newton, Connecticut. There ...
