I sat at the decorated table, adorned with colorful table cloth, themed centerpiece, cute paper plates with finger foods in various stages of nibbles, and MOPs (Mothers Of Preschoolers) literature for that month's meeting listening to the conversations of the other moms. I did not fit in. We were going to a church that was… Continue reading Thrive
Does anyone else remember this commercial? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbbWieoNQ5E Nearly every single time I make eggs I sing this silly jingle. And how often do I eat eggs, A. LOT. Eggs, particularly egg yolks, got a bad wrap in the anti-fat movement of the 90's... and all foods were removed of their fats and replaced with sugar… Continue reading The Incredible, Edible Egg
The stage was being set. The hour was drawing near. Jesus knew He had very little time left to prepare His disciples for what was to come.

The honest truth is most of us struggle to get started. And most of us, at least my friends and husband and… Continue reading Game Changer
On a bad day, I used to find myself pulling into Baskin Robins for a mocha blast. On the worst of days I got the largest size which has nearly 1000 calories. Food has always been a comfort. I'm trying very hard in this season of life to catch myself when I'm wanting to turn… Continue reading Comfort foods
When my life is coming to an end and I am ready to see Jesus' face... what regrets will I have? I've thought a lot about the things I know I wouldn't say: I wish I had saved more money. I wish we hadn't taken those vacations. I wish I had lived in a bigger… Continue reading No regrets…
I just finished the season finale of season 2 and can I just say, AHHHHH!!! All THE FEELS!!! My husband calls it "This is CRY" because I end up sobbing at least once during each episode. I was confused and emotional and surprised and upset and just all of it! I don't want to post… Continue reading This is ME… watching This is US
What if the MRI shows new lesions? What if this fatigue and tingling I'm feeling is the beginning of another exacerbation? What if we can't afford the copay? What if the fridge goes out?
