Life is too short to not be myself…
This advent I’ve been preaching on Joy – hopeful joy, loving joy, unabashed joy, and today will be peaceful joy. Hopeful joy – I shared how we can find hope and joy in the most unexpected places. I had a memorial service the day before and so I was able to share how even in... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I reminisced about Christmas traditions, specifically ornament making. I have so many other traditions I could share and maybe I will but in going down memory lane I'm reminded that traditions are fun and important too but they shouldn't consume us or close the door on new ideas and traditions.

Sometimes it's my youth and others my adult years. Sometimes I think about my kids and their lives. Today, I... Continue Reading →
What a wonderful week! Time with my Daring Daughter is priceless. We celebrated, we talked, we walked, we ate (A LOT). We watched movies, we read books, we sat quietly together, we laughed, we cried. I think we have made the most of every moment. We still have a few more days together but I... Continue Reading →
