From time to time, I let my emotions dictate my thoughts and my thoughts dictate my decisions. We all do. What’s for the birds is stepping out of your emotions and wishing you’d made a “better” decision. One emotional decision does not necessarily have to beget a string of bad decisions. When you’re feeling trappedContinue reading “Bad Decision(s) Can Stay Singular”

Attentiveness: Hearing What’s Not Said
Do you think of people when they aren’t around and understand what they don’t say? When you’re connected to people, you should. What I mean by this is sometimes people say things without saying them because they’re afraid to admit they’re struggling and sometimes people pull back when they need you to lean in. SometimesContinue reading “Attentiveness: Hearing What’s Not Said”
What do you give up to be loved?
Being a codependent is real. It’s crippling and something to not get confused with being a good parent, lover, or friend. If you give up little pieces of yourself and redirect a well thought out plan for your life for companionship, you’ve chosen the wrong company. We are meant to love, but we are notContinue reading “What do you give up to be loved?”
The Lighthouse Keeper Stays Awake
My second to last ugly cry a was the morning we buried my granddad “Papa” in 2020. Your memories tend to track the things your heart measures. I was driving to the 6a service of 21 days of prayer with tears so deep I couldn’t see the road and a voice so unsteady I couldn’tContinue reading “The Lighthouse Keeper Stays Awake”
Christmas Recovery
To all the parents out there recovering from Christmas….You’re doing a good job, you nailed it, and it was all worth it. God sent His only son down to be born into a family for a reason. He could have sent Him as a grown adult, but He specifically chose a mother for Him whoContinue reading “Christmas Recovery”
Little Bird Brain
Something my grandmother always said was that our “little bird brains” aren’t supposed to understand everything. Why do bad things happen? Why do the ones we love get sick? Why is there violence and destruction? Why do things fall apart? Maybe we’re not meant to understand. Maybe there’s a greater lesson and a bigger purpose.Continue reading “Little Bird Brain”
So, What? You Fell Down?
How many times does a baby fall before he finally walks? Dozens at minimum? Probably hundreds? You’ll never hear his parent say, “It’s okay little Johnny, walking’s probably not for you,” & carry him around until he’s fifteen. If your growth opportunity feels resistant, it’s because you’re GROWING & there’s always opposition when there’s improvement.Continue reading “So, What? You Fell Down?”
When You See it Coming…
Sometimes we find ourselves in less that desirable situations because we’ve gotten ourselves into less than desirable situations. Sometimes when the stars don’t align, the train takes too long to pass, or someone doesn’t react like we thought they would, it shifts us out of plan and away from how we wanted life to be.Continue reading “When You See it Coming…”
Remember When You Prayed for…
Remember when you prayed for the things you have now? Enough money to buy groceries, a home, a car, to have a family and meaningful friendships, or to start your own business…Remember praying for those things? I do. I remember praying for my own real estate company, for my kids to make their way, forContinue reading “Remember When You Prayed for…”
“Go Where You Grow”
If you’ve read these for a bit or you’ve known me for a long time, then you know I was raised in a big (5 kids) Catholic family. We all went Catholic school and grew up in Catholic Church. When I became a mother, I was tasked with choosing a church and a way forContinue reading ““Go Where You Grow””
