Have you ever made a bad choice? I feel like my friends with kids are always challenging them to make wise or good choices. I love it when the kids understand the concept and then challenge their own parents with the same advice. My friend Chad wrote something on his hand at work in order […]
Chasing Daylight by Erwin McManus has been on my top influential reads since the fall of 2006. I was looking for a book to read on my “exploratory” flight out to Arizona. I walked into the office of my boss and borrowed Seizing Your Divine Moment straight off his shelf. (The book has since been […]
Fact: While I can handle addressing a room full of thousands of people I am NOT the person you want in an emergency situation. I’ve learned this about myself in spades. Like most things in life, hopefully I’m getting better. The minute I become emotional my decision making abilities are shot. Enter the rational people […]

Prior to the wedding, D and I lived in different cities. We were both in the Phoenix area, but we lived almost an hour apart door to door. This led to a lot of driving AND a lot of creative dates. One of my favorite places to meet was always at local bookstores. We brought […]
Prior to dating my husband I had been in three relationships, the longest of the three was five weeks in length. I make no claims to be an expert on the topic of dating. My track record shows that I am somewhat versed in the art of being rejected. But all of the introspection […]
Aside from “How are you?”- the most frequent question I’ve been asked this year is “How’s married life?” Short answer: it’s really good. Long answer: I’m learning a lot.
