It happened Dec 29, 2019. I put a simple challenge out on Facebook, wondering if any of my friends would like to join me for a 30-day plank challenge. I figured, “Why not start January in epic fashion? I’m going for a 5 minute plank in 30 days.” A plank is designed to strengthen your …

They Call It Dopey For A Reason
Sometimes, you sign up for a race, and think, “Yeah, I can do this!” Then, there are other times that you get to the race and think, “How am I ever going to do this!!” This pretty much sums my feeling as I approached the start line of the Walt Disney World Dopey Challenge. Why …
Think Twice Before Hitting Send
Your phone dings. Your wrist buzzes. You’re being notified. Someone wants your attention. It’s a text! But what happens when you swipe to open the text? Did you know that you can change someone’s day with a simple text? Encouragement in the palm of your hand! Think about it. It could be a co-worker needing …
When You Have To Say Goodbye To A Loved One
Hello friends. I feel the need to post this short, short blog today. My sister, Kelly, left this “home” 20 years ago today, January 9, 2001. She died from a nasty disease called Wegener’s Disease. Kelly was only 25. I am grateful for the promise of Heaven. Kelly loved Jesus, and I have no doubt …

I’m Letting You In On A Little Secret

A New Year’s Resolution That Won’t Fail
Every year you say it, “Oh this is the year. I’m sticking to my resolution!” Yeah right! We keep resolving to lose weight, eat healthier, stop doing this, start doing that. Enough already! A few years ago, I was asked to be the voice to an audiobook called, “My One Word” by Mike Ashcraft and …
Sometimes, Christmas Makes Me Cry
“Sometimes, Christmas makes me cry.” What an odd Christmas lyric, huh? Especially in the midst of “It’s the most wonderful time of the year”. But, it’s true. Christmas and tears can be a thing. And, this isn’t the, “Jason’s home from college” Folger’s commerical tears, either. So, what’s up with this? There’s ugly sweaters. Christmas …
The Email and Conversation That Changed My Life
I love parties. I love to throw them, and I love attending them. It’s quite an honor to be invited, don’t you think? Out of all of the people you know, and surround yourself with, YOU are chosen. Or, if it’s your party, you’re choosing others to hang with. That’s pretty powerful. An invitation is …
