This is a well-known phrase, and I’m sure many of you have heard it. Practice makes perfect. But does it? Does practice really make perfect? And what is the focus on those three words. Most often I believe it’s the last word: perfect. Perfectionism is a trait that trips many of us up. I know it’ something I still struggle with. I grew upContinue reading “Practice Makes Perfect”

One Size Fits All
I was reading this morning about belonging, and how it is an undeniable need for each person to know they belong. Where they belong can be different for each person. For some reason, the phrase “one size fits all” popped into my head as I was reading. It most often is referring to a piece of clothing,Continue reading “One Size Fits All”
My Parent’s Love
Last week I shared about how I experienced my parent’s deaths differently. Today I’d like to share about the ways I experienced their love. A few months ago, I had accepted an offer for a different job and I was waiting for my book to be published. Two separate opportunities that left me feeling scared, excited, uncertainContinue reading “My Parent’s Love”

These are the friends who, over time, have built up my trust. I know I can share the hard things with them and they won’t revealContinue reading “Addicted or Free”

The other morning when I got my blow dryer out, the cap at the end fell off. When I went to put it back on I noticed the screen was covered in lint. I spent a few minutes cleaning off that screen before attaching the cap. And then thought nothing more of it. The next few mornings IContinue reading “Cleaning my lint screen”

I’m really excited to share my first book, The Letters. If you move over to the Ways to Purchase section you can read a brief description. I would like to give credit to the photographer of the cover, Caleb North. I’m also proud to be his aunt! When I asked Caleb if he would createContinue reading “Book cover”
