  • A Flight in History

    If you could have dinner with anyone in history, who would you pick? That’s a tough question. For me, it changes constantly. It depends on my mood. Do I want to be empowered or encouraged? Or do I want to be challenged or thought-provoked?   Then the question is when would it be? At one point…

  • How I Feel Closer to God

    Sometimes we feel closer to God when we are doing certain things or in certain situations. This week, we are sharing what those are for each of us.

  • Intentional Friendship

    So you made a friend, now what? How do you keep a friend? Navigate the ups and downs of each stage of friendship. One thing that helped prepare me to write this post is to think about other relationships. Other relationships reveal things about yourself. Some stuff you are grateful to learn about and others……

  • Persistence in 2025

    How was your 2024? If I were to sit across the table from you at a coffee shop, could you tell me all the hard things that happened this past year? Can you think of any good things that happened for you this year? Maybe this was a year of victory and triumph for you.…

  • Post-Election… Now, What?

    Whew. It’s been a week.   How are you feeling?   Whether you felt celebratory or felt defeated, I bet you are exhausted. This election season has been a hard one and this writing piece is equally as hard. I decided I have two choices:  One, tell exactly how I feel.    Or two, be a source of…
