Dallas

It’s late on Monday night and I took a nap today so this is always how my nap-nights go. My emotions are high and I don’t want to go to bed and I just made a strawberry banana almond milkshake because all I wanted in my life today was a Coke Icee but I resisted

Dove real beauty sketches.

I hope you’ve seen this already. It made me cry. It has me thinking. It is an important piece of work. [hey subscribers- there’s a video here. Click over to watch it!] There’s a lot more information and videos over at the Dove Real Beauty Sketches’ website. I think Kela is my favorite. “It’s so magical,”

TOP 5 FRIDAY: PCOS Resources

Forgive my absence this week, friends. I have had a crazy couple of days – major bumps and shifts with some of my college students at church and I’m a little under the weather. I can’t exactly figure out what is wrong with me, but I know that my body is going through aheckuvalot of

What April 1 means to me.

Growing up in Marietta, Georgia, I absolutely loved April Fool’s Day. Our hometown newspaper always took April 1 to try to slide in ridiculous stories and funny tidbits. I clearly remember running downstairs on the morning of April 1 and seeing the paper open on the table and scanning every story to see if it

It is Saturday.

Between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, was Saturday. Saturday. When everything felt like it was falling apart.
