Same Ole Date? If you’ve read any of my posts, you know my Mr. and I are not your average, ordinary couple (you can read more about us here and here). I’m a bit of a hippie and a designer. He’s a comic fanatic and musician. But after almost 20 years together, we can tend …
Used to Busy I have a friend and coworker that recently had the same back surgery. One is in her 30s with 2 kids, the other in her 20s. The 30 year old, despite having a 3 & 10 year old, took the full 2 weeks off of work, had her husband & even enlisted …
Hurt in Life Has your spouse hurt you in some way? This is, of course, rhetorical. The answer is yes. Two imperfect people living together are most definitely going to hurt each other. It’s just a part of life. I’m talking about the hurt that comes from something he’s said or done in a moment …
“What’s the most important aspect of faith for you?” A friend of mine asked me this question. Not just any friend, but a woman whom I met when we decided to take one of our daughters to counseling for some pretty serious anxiety. I can honestly say I would have lost my mind in that …

Let’s take a virtual walk through a little golden nugget – Deuteronomy 30.

Ok, so that’s not quite how it works, huh? At least it wasn’t for us! We were instantly attracted to each other and spent several months dating, laughing, getting to know one another on that soul level. Three years later an official wedding band was on my finger and I was called wife! Awwww, married …
A Secret to Successful Marriage We meet this guy. So much fun is had together. We share dreams, adventures, the L word and start thinking about sharing our futures. The anticipation of a possible proposal makes you smile all over! Then you’re thrilled with all the planning, all the friends and family around. The party, …
Overwhelm & Anxiety Last week, we talked about being overwhelmed and having anxiety (about all-the-things!). Our schedule got mixed up, I lost a kid (I promise not for very long! Mom of the year here LOL), had tech troubles and a short staff at work, UGH! – just remembering it overwhelms me again. Even in …
