I have spent a lot of my life the past five or six years trying to convince God to show me what my “purpose” was in life. During all of my Wedding Planning, I journaled about the ups and downs of trying to master a perfect ceremony, find the right wedding dress, and how our […]

But instead, we find ourselves feeling fresh…new…rejuvenated…and filled with hope. That was my day yesterday. I woke up and spent almost two hours […]

The times in my life where I truly felt confident and successful in what I was doing are few and far between. I’ve competed and won pageants in the past; giving myself a self-esteem […]

Growing up, I watched my parents work and fight for their marriage. I always assumed that the bickering, the frustration and the hurt feelings were because they didn’t belong together and didn’t care for each other. While their relationship wasn’t perfect [who’s is?] it certainly wasn’t in the shambles that I always thought it was. […]
