Give with a willing heart
This week I experienced two instances of where I was trying to be kind – but my kindness returned to me in what felt like multiples, and I want to share with you.A few weeks ago I mentioned my neighbor giving me tomato suckers when I had given up on being able to plant for […]
A Different Celebration
This weekend my daughter celebrated her 8th birthday. It always amazes me at this time of the year as I think about the few days leading to her birth.This year as I normally do, I start thinking on July 23rd, the day I left work eight years ago, and ended up being sent to the […]
Learning to wait
Sometimes it seems that life is like a tug-of-war game between hurry and wait. But scripture shows us time and time again that learning to wait on God’s timing is always our best option. A SEASON OF WAITING As I sit in my quiet time, I marvel at God’s wisdom. I believe I have been […]
Lessons from My Garden
This morning I want to share some lessons from my garden. When I started out last year as an entrepreneur, I got the distinct feeling that my path would not be one of the hunter, but one of the farmer. I was to plant seeds, water them, and then let God do the rest. If […]

Single Parenting in the Pandemic
I’m taking a bit of a departure of what I usually share on faith. This one is about my experience as a single mom during the pandemic. I have a moment to breathe as my daughter is in the next room on a google meet. She has them 3 days for about an hour each […]
