And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. Ezekiel 36:26a NLT For the last couple of years, I’ve chosen my #OneWord365 to pray through and meditate on throughout the new season. Past words include SIMPLE and REVEAL. And beyond a shadow of a doubt, these words have shaped me into who I am moving into 2019. A few weeks back, my sweet friend Continue Reading
A Christmas Note From Me to You
You guys, how is it already Christmas? Is it just me or does time pass faster the older we get? It seems like it was just January, and I was sending you guys out a New Year’s note and telling you how I was gonna write more in 2018. *face palm* And here it is Christmas and I barely wrote anything this year! I have a lengthy list of post ideas flying around in my head (and in Continue Reading
Traversing Through Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks
Oh my goodness you guys! I recently spent the most incredible week between Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. If you follow me on social media, you got a small taste of my trip through photos and stories. But SO many of you reached out with questions, I thought I would share in more depth about my week. For those of you around for a while, you may remember a few Continue Reading
Traveling Down the Sunflower Trail
Oh my goodness you guys! If you haven’t hopped over to the Dixie/Belcher/Gilliam area of northwest Louisiana, please get there as fast as you can! Every June, millions of sunflowers spring up along Louisiana Highway 3049, transforming a stretch of country road into a magical Sunflower Trail. It really is a sight to see, dotted with plantation houses, old churches, quaint Continue Reading
2017: A Year in Review and Things Pondered for 2018
What a year y’all! Unexpectedness was rampant, joys overflowed and the Lord’s faithfulness was proven true (once again). It never ceases to amaze me just how much the Lord can teach and lead over the course of one year. So by the time I’m 80, I should be one, wise ol’ chickadee. :-) 2017 was significant in so many ways. In December 2016, I suffered the first (and Continue Reading
A MUST READ, New Release: Church of the Small Things by Melanie Shankle
Rather frequently, I am asked for book recommendations. In particular, it seems people are hungry for a book that’s light and easy to read. I’m guilty of almost always reading self-help nonfiction and tons of devotional type of books. While these are good, they are often heavy and require much self-assessment and reflection. One of my go-tos when I need funny, light and Continue Reading
What To Read If Your Entrepreneurial Dreams Scare You
Who out there has a burning desire to take a leap and try something entrepreneurial, but you’re SCARED TO DEATH? What is “that thing” you’ve always had deep inside that BURNS to escape but you are crippled by the what ifs, what thens and what nows? I’ll be the first to admit those sentences describe me in more ways than you know. I’ve got some pretty strong entrepreneurial Continue Reading
A Solo Weekend in Central Louisiana
It’s been nine years since I began traveling for work. Most of the time, I eat it up, loving every minute. But I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t moments I wanted to pull my hair out, curl up in a ball and cry my eyes out right in the middle of DFW (which seems to mostly be the vain of my travel existence). For the most part, I’ve learned to roll with the punches and take Continue Reading
Finding Mayberry in Minden
In early 2014, I was happily residing in sunny, south Texas. Everything was right in my world. All aspects of my life were extremely fulfilling. I LOVED my work. For the first time in my adult life, I was completely and utterly in love with my church. My circle of friends was deeper and wider than ever before. My neighborhood was lined with palm trees that swayed like Continue Reading
A Few Thoughts on Turning 40
Today begins my 40th trip around sun. I wish I would’ve journaled at 20 what I envisioned my life would look like at 40 because MAN, it sure turned out differently than I thought. And while I truly, truly believe everything ends up exactly like it’s supposed to, the road up to this point not only has been filled with bumps, but also with lots of adventurous and exhilarating Continue Reading
