Dear Friends, Family, and Fans,
​For some reason any new thing I want to start I plan to start the first of the month. It's like that's the restart button. So I guess I have considered January 1st the super restart. I'd like to change that thought paradigm. Each morning is a new opportunity to refresh, rebirth, renew, replenish.Each morning is an opportunity to wake up new possibilities and continue the work needed to make the nights' dreams realities. So now that I'm awake, happy new day. And yes, I still wish us all an awesome New Year! Let's fill it with love and light instead of the same old recycled resolutions. May God continue to bless us!

Love and realness,

Dear Friends, Family, and Fans,
Surprisingly, I’ve been introduced to some wonderful quotes, adages and sayings on social media. One that really spoke to me admonished us not to worry about putting the Christ in Christmas. It’s more important to put the Christ in Christians. So true. Some of the most judgmental people I know call themselves Christian.
Yet Jesus asked those without sin to cast the first stone.
Not one of us is without sin. It’s only by his grace that we are here. I am so far from the woman I want to be and yet so close to recognizing the God in me. He loves me in-spite of me. I’m so thankful. Even when I don’t act completely in accordance with the intent of the question, I ask
“What would Jesus do?”
Not that I always act in accordance to what I know of His Will, but I am intentionally attempting to do so.
During this season and through every season of our lives, first and foremost, I ask us to bring love to every interaction and decision.
Merry Christmas!!!
Love and realness,
