Last month I was interviewed by HerIdeaBlog.com. They feature creative women each week and I was very excited to participate in this. I have put my interview below, but be sure to go to the website to read about more amazing women! How would you describe yourself? In describing myself, I’ll borrow from one of… Continue reading This Exciting Thing Happened!
So here’s the deal. It’s NOT always sparkle and shine in my life. There are days like this week when I am burdened for a precious friend and feel helpless in the situation. When I am a bit tired of working, parenting alone, being this age with kids, being indoors, wanting something fun, loneliness, just… Continue reading Life Ain’t Always Sunshine and Roses
So really. Why would you follow in the exact footprints of someone else? They do not have YOUR unique qualities, gifts, abilities, and desires, and you don't have theirs. Should you fashion your life after what other people say? Should you let what is important to them be what guides you? Perhaps to some degree, if they are… Continue reading Write Your Own Script, My Dear
Oh darling, don't you know that who you are is the most amazing and fabulous gift to the world? Who you are is full of wonder and possibility. You deserve to be loved and fulfilled in what you do. I know it's tough many days. I know some of you are not in an ideal… Continue reading Do Not Apologize For Who You Are!
Having children with special needs is such a challenge! But one thing I've learned....it keeps us TOTALLY dependent on God. No way can I be "in control" because in the blink of an eye, our life could be in shambles. There are days my prayer has been, "Oh God, oh God, oh God" because… Continue reading I’m An Overcomer

Sometimes having joy requires making the… Continue reading Choosing Joy
One year. One year since I kissed you goodbye and watched you leave us. My heart hurts in missing you. My arms long to hug you. My soul needs to talk with you. I love you with all my heart, sweet sister. Your leaving taught me two very important things: 1) To celebrate myself.… Continue reading I’ll Love You Forever
Today my friend's situation reminded me of the need for this card. There are a bunch of things pressing in on me and my brain is in a tizzy (southern expression for going crazy). *I'm trying to get a seat belt installed before heading south. I had to cut it because my son became… Continue reading I’m a Warrior, Not A Worrier!
It doesn't matter what is being said about you. It doesn't matter what others think of you. What matters is what you think of yourself! And if you believe lies about yourself, then you will act on those lies instead of the truth. Any words that make you seem "less than" the amazing… Continue reading You Are MORE!
Today I defied the compulsion towards People Pleasing!! (A lifetime-long struggle.) Yesterday was grueling for me. I taught reading to reluctant kindergarteners for three hours, went to an appointment, returned home in time to get my son off the bus --his OCD meant he asked every few minutes if we were… Continue reading I Won!
