Let me start off by saying that I’m not the biggest Prince fan. I don’t know all of his songs. I only know his hits mostly. Not the obscure B-side songs that didn’t make it to the radio. Even when I did venture into that territory I heard some lyrics that I didn’t need to… Continue reading The Purpose of Prince
A few weeks ago I had a brief, but thought provoking conversation with a coworker. She was wearing some new glasses and I thought they were pretty cool. I shared with her how I’ve worn glasses since the third grade and always thought of them as an accessory like jewelry. I buy a new pair… Continue reading You Would Be You

“You can spend your effort and energy endeavoring to prove yourself to yourself as well as to others. Whether or not the payoff you receive from that effort is worth it or not remains a question. Instead of expending all of that precious internal resource of energy on endeavoring to prove you are valid, validate… Continue reading Messy
I surrendered my life to God today…once again. I’ve been a Christian since the age of 11 when I asked Jesus into my heart to be my Lord and Savior. The whole Christian journey is about surrendering your life to God. Today was a profoundly new level of letting him take over for me. I… Continue reading Selectively Surrendered
At work, I eat lunch at my desk almost everyday. I have work friends, but I prefer the time to read, browse Pinterest, etc. Sometimes I even work while eating or cut my hour long break down and get back to work. I’m not a workaholic. Far from it. I’ve just always been a solitary… Continue reading My Little Piece of Heaven
I walked into the spa calm, yet excited. I had a rough week and was ready to relax. The day was perfect. It was quiet and hardly anyone was there. For a moment I thought I would have the whole place to myself – which made this introvert beyond happy. I approached the service counter… Continue reading Painful Day at the Spa
So what would you do if you couldn’t fail? That’s what I’ve been asking myself a lot lately. Part of the reason for this blog is to find an answer to this question. I talked myself out of starting a blog for many months. I thought ‘who would want to read what I write?’ or ‘what… Continue reading What Would You Do If You Could Not Fail?
I think we all have an idea of what we want our lives to look like. Goals, dreams, and expectations for our families, friendships, careers, health, etc. ‘By the time I’m (whatever age or time frame) I want to accomplish x, y, z’. Some of you may have done or are in the process of… Continue reading Great Expectations
One of my favorite quotes is “There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in” – Leonard Cohen, Selected Poems, 1956-1968 . How true is that? We’re all broken people. In one way or another we need to be fixed and only God can do that. Life has a way of breaking you down… Continue reading Beauty In Brokenness
