LOVE Women need a tribe because we crave those who will listen to, support, and encourage us. We do those things for many other people, and sometimes we become resentful if we aren’t allowed the same privilege. There’s freedom and strength in having friends who listen to you, allow you to voice your dreams… Continue reading All We Need Is Love
I designed this card to express how I feel about my children. How about saying these words to your own children? Help them feel like precious treasures. Because when children know that they are amazing and wonderful and CHERISHED, they have a healthy foundation for self-love and courage, and know that they have a safe… Continue reading Do You Love Your Child “Every Single Bit”?
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
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

Has your mama been a shining light in YOUR life? Has she guided you through life's tumultuous waves and almost-drowning experiences? Did she stretch out her hand for you to hold when fear made you tremble? And open her arms widely to receive and envelop you when you were broken-hearted? Did your mother support you… Continue reading Tell Your Mama!
We put everyone and everything else first, at the expense of our health and spirit. Society has programmed us that way. Stop listening to the lies. You are enough already. MORE than enough. You do not have to earn your way or work to deserve love (I learned this way too late in life)… Continue reading Self-Care Is Love
Can you imagine, and perhaps you really can, what it is like to experience that first, heart-exploding realization that someone actually loves you completely? Loves you without boundaries or restraint, regardless of your brokenness, emotional issues, and the truckloads of psychological stuff you carry with you? It is addictive to say the least. Your… Continue reading This is Your Brain. This is Your Brain in Love.
"Thinking outside the box." "Living outside the box." We hear these phrases all the time. And so I ask you, WHAT is a BOX? As a well-practiced People Pleaser, I do believe I was living inside a box of other people's expectations, their opinions of me, their considerations of what was a worthy pursuit for… Continue reading What IS a BOX anyway?
I read a wonderful blog post today from Vanessa of At The Picket Fence. About insecurity. I believe it's at the heart of many damaging behaviors-- which most surely become weapons, cutting to the very heart and soul. My own insecurity led to attention-seeking behaviors.... people pleasing....and very "loud" body language (because I wasn't permitted to… Continue reading It’s Not You, It’s Me~Guest post
