I am an average woman who loves the life I have been blessed to live. From Africa to Asia and back to America, my life has been touched by many people and experiences that have helped me embrace each season of life whether it be challenging or a cup of coffee. I believe it is only possible to do that because of the grace and peace of God. His love never fails and it never, ever gives up!
MY LIFELINE

SPEAK THE TRUTH
2020 was a year that brought lots of changes. All of us have had to learn to do everyday life in new ways. When such drastic change happens in the world around you, it exposes weaknesses and strengths in the structure of your current life. I have taken the month of January to ask myself [...]

FIGHT FOR PEACE
A TIME OF PEACE IN MY DAY The other day, as I was blowing my hair dry (weird place to get thoughts for blog posts, I know) this sentence came to mind. "Some days you just have to fight for your peace of mind." I hadn't slept well that night. Thoughts about the state of [...]
Course Correcting Season
