This past weekend two of my friends and I were supposed to travel to Kernersville, NC to attend the "Come to the Table" tour hosted by Angie Smith, Annie Downs and the lady from "Against the Grain." Unfortunately, Angie Smith's dad was diagnosed with a rare, terminal cancer and they cancelled the tour so she …
Can’t breathe…
No joke - I believe this is an actual photo of pollen season in South Carolina. Everything I own outside (patio furniture, lanterns, bird feeder, etc.) is covered in this nasty yellow film and dust. I was doing great and then I decided to take a walk this morning and now the post-nasal drip and …
Refocus…
I have been so off my game, so distracted over the last few months. Sure, cancer has a way of throwing you for a loop, but I'm three months passed all that and I still haven't gotten my workout groove back. Some of it has been good and worthy distraction (i.e., writing, self-exploration, time with …
#23
March 9th marked 23 years married for Frank and I. The milestone that is today is not lost on me. Our life has been marked by highs and lows, ups and downs, and so much laughter along the way. I am grateful for him, and for the life we have built and share together. This …
A new adventure…sort of…

Preparation…
I have been on blog hiatus for a bit. Not because life doesn't continue to march on, but because I'm in the midst of a writing course and I have set aside time to focus on it. I am loving working through it so far. It's a self-paced, video and study-driven course. It's a christian …
Blur of a weekend…
I had such a great weekend, but it was so busy and went by so quickly it almost feels like one big blur! Friday after work, Frank and I joined our first New River growth group. It's a small gathering of people from our church who gather together to share and discuss bible studies, pray …
Ephesians 2:10
I have felt called for years, my lifetime really, to write. Within the last few years that call has turned into "write a book". I have had my share of feeling unequal to the task and have wavered. I have started and stopped and started and stopped, and scrapped the whole effort and started anew, …
