Sharing God’s faithfulness in my life and walking alongside you in yours.
WHEN YOU’VE LOST PERSPECTIVE
I’ve lost my perspective. I’m still focused on this life – this day – wanting so much to have things the way I want them. And they aren’t. I know God loves me completely, He talks to me, sends me songs and scriptures and insights and love in ways...
GOD AND THE MAKEUP MIRROR
When I was in my 30’s and 40’s I held my head high and thought I’d age gracefully, in fact I would have bet on it. As a personal trainer I worked with many women who struggled tirelessly with how they were aging, and I wholeheartedly encouraged them to shift...

My Story Part 5 -WHEN YOUR PATH TAKES AN UNEXPECTED TURN
