January & February Favorites
This year certainly started with a bang. Every where you looked, there was surely chaos to be found. So when I could, I tried to look elsewhere. I tried to turn off social media and dig in to books, movies, and TV shows. I tried to read more blogs and try more recipes, to watch Continue reading

In the Aftermath, Just Be There
A while back I wrote about an inspiring episode of the podcast My Unsung Hero, and today I wanted to share another one that seems particularly relevant. In Kimberly Godsey’s episode, she tells the story of her time training to be a nurse practitioner and how physician, Dr. Joe Seibert, gave her advice that has Continue reading

My Word for 2025
This past Monday I shared my word of 2024, color, and the way it guided and impacted my year. But today I want to tell you about my word for this year. My word for 2025 came early, really early, like halfway through 2024 early. I was home one night and casually Googled, “nighttime bible Continue reading
