I am not going to cry while I write this post. I am not going to cry while I write this post. I am not going to…. forget it. I’m teary. You may remember back in February when we had a big fat goal for our month to raise $10,000 through Mocha Club for the New

That’s it. That’s what I want my life to be about- sharing with anyone who will listen that they were made on purpose, by a loving God, and made to be brave. Today I hopped over to (in)courage to write about it. I’d love for you to join me there. We’re asking a hard question

I have to tell you about flitter.

After writing for (in)courage for the last five years, I finally saw the mothership.

Happy birthday to me– and a gift for YOU!

Well. I’m 34 and it feels so good. (Thanks for all your kind words online today, by the way. As you probably have guessed words are my love language, so having the internet fill will lovely words from friends is enough to make my heart burst.) And welcome to the new blog and website! Feel

It’s just that I’m spending a lot of time watching sports.

Sorry for my absence. It’s World Cup time, which is by far my very favorite holiday sporting event. In fact, probably the reason I’m actually remembering to blog today is because there are no games. 🙂 Don’t get me wrong, I’m not just plunked in front of my television all day every day, but ESPN
