I was extremely honored to be contacted by the Social Media Coordinator from Shutterfly a couple of weeks ago. She originally asked me to review a product that I didn't feel would be a good fit for my blog (only because I don't have an I-phone) but I told her that I was interested in working with Shutterfly …

Today I am excited to share with y'all a book that has truly touched and changed my life.

I love reading and so I am so excited to discover new books to add to my library or to find on…

Thank you so much for all of your prayers, financial gifts, love, cards, text messages, and phone calls as I headed out to California yesterday!

Recently I have fallen in love with the word tribe. Tribe is defined as: "A social division in a traditional society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties..." Yesterday I talked about the the importance of boundaries in relationships and I men…
I am so very excited to announce to y'all the new name of my creative arts company. This truly has been an endeavor that has been in the process for several months.

I have loved reading posts by other bloggers that share random personal things about them. To me the ones that have done this make their blogs that much more friendly.

I first heard of "dry brushing" when I read Kris Carr's book, Crazy Sexy Cancer when I was in my early 20s . I was intrigued and did it for a little bit. Unfortunately, I admit that as time went on I wasn't sure I felt any benefits so I let this important health ritual slip and in the last c…
The last student walked out of my room and left the classroom empty of people and noise. Both things that had become balms to my hurting heart. Noise not ice cream had become the thing that I had tried to "fill up" my life with since the unexpected and devastating break up with my fiance. Noise and my de…
