How to regain hope when the game of life feels like a never-ending battle

It’s playoff season in America (where I’m originally from) and that means Sunday afternoons and evenings are spent in front of the TV, especially during this time of year. This past Sunday night’s game was intense to say the least. (I mean, standing on our feet, heart pounding, breathtaking, kind of intense.) My home team, the Tampa Bay Bucs, were playing to advance to the next round of playoffs, the final game before the Superbowl. Everything was on the line, you either win and advance or lose and you’re out. Hang in here with me, even if football isn’t your...

Turn your goals into actions

Turn your goals into actions

Well friends here I am, sitting down at my desk for the first full workday of 2022. I’ve got to say that it feels pretty great. It helps that I love a fresh start and a new crisp calendar.

Those things aside, I just love that we get the opportunity to leave all of the chaos and craziness of 2021 behind and step into something new. It excites me and invigorates me to know that around any corner there’s something to be unearthed and discovered. We can step...

Things that we absolutely shouldn’t ignore and must always lean in to with prayer and help where we can. However, if we aren’t careful, we can also let this completely consume us and rob our joy.  There’s no denying that we live...

3 simple ways to implement rest

In case you’re looking for a sign, excuse, or permission to rest - THIS IS IT.  Stop what you’re doing, take 5 minutes to read this post and when you’re finished I want to challenge you to take me up on the dare, K? I can promise you two things; you need it and it will help you excel. As if that doesn’t give you an incentive? Let’s start here. Rest is essential, although in today's culture it can oftentimes be seen as more of a luxury. I’d even go as far as to say that “rest” is the secret...

Sisterhood, two friends walking and laughing. New York City backdrop and good conversation

Importance of Sisterhood 

"I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff." Jon Katz Life is busy, nothing new there. Whether it’s mom life, work life or trying to juggle all of the crazy that this thing called life throws at us, we all have some kind of busy. My busy schedule will likely look different to the...
