I wish fairy tales came with labels, warning, disclaimers of some sort before we get swept away by Prince Charmings and Happily Ever After Endings. One such as “real love is not how it appears on this screen” or “don’t forget that this is just a made up story.” I have nothing against Prince Charming. […] Read more…
It’s funny how you can be excited about the new car that you just bought…until you look at your neighbor’s driveway and see that his is better. It’s funny how you can be grateful for the job that you have…until you talk to your neighbor about his job and see that his pay is better. […] Read more…
We live in a world of “here and now” and sometimes we forget that there is a bigger picture. A greater purpose. A specific reason for every single beat of our heart. We focus so much on the external, temporary things of life and get caught up in worldly pursuits that we forget the reason […] Read more…
Can I be really honest with all of you? Sometimes I really don’t like myself. I wake up in the morning and I don’t like the reflection of the girl I see in the mirror. Not because I’m having a bad hair day (although that may be the case at times) but because I’m far […] Read more…

You didn’t get to choose how your began your life here on earth. But today… you can choose how […] Read more…
I will be happy when… I marry the man of my dreams. I can afford to buy that Lamborghini. I live in that big house with a white picket fence. I get my dream job. I check everything off my bucket list. I have that important title I’ve been climbing up the corporate ladder for. […] Read more…
Sometimes I wonder… What if Mary said she couldn’t give birth to Jesus because the possible judgment and ridicule she’d have to face would be too much for her to bear? What if Moses said he wouldn’t lead the Israelites out of Egypt into the Promised Land because he wasn’t eloquent with his words and […] Read more…
Have you ever felt like you finally reached the end of yourself? That there was nothing worth waking up the next morning for? That nothing good could possibly come out of you or the situation that you are in? That maybe the world might just be a better place without you in it? If you […] Read more…
I’m not going to lie. When I saw the clouds filling the sky on the day I planned to go skydiving I had this happy little feeling inside and I thought to myself “maybe, just maybe… they’ll cancel our jump because of the weather”. I know, I know, I’m such a brave soul. 😉 That […] Read more…
