Happy New Year Friends! Do you come up with 'one little word' for the new year, instead of a bunch of goals too? I have a hard time letting go of my word for the year, when it is time for a new one. This one little tradition of coming up with a word for the year has been woven into my life for years. I can look back on each year and see that year's word woven through that year’s events as a theme. It's fun to see how the years build on one another in such a big scoop way.

My One Little Word for 2016: Courage
Its taken me a while to wrestle out all I'm feeling with my new word for 2016: Courage. When I think of the dictionary definition of courage it reminds me that courage is a choice.

There are a lot of factors on why that I can't really share, but I'm sure (more now than ever before) that I'm not alone in some of what I went through. You might be like me, I often find myself wrestling through why bad things happen to good people. Why are there so many miscarriages? Why do we prepare for and dream of kids, Continue Reading
Their Hearts are Bigger than their Home
Have you ever been in a moment where the reality of a major life change hits you? It may be your wedding day. It may be a graduation. Maybe it is the birth of a child. It could be the moment your best friend moves away. A new job. These are moments where we realize that life is changing. Sometimes we have a say in those moments and sometimes we don't. What if you could help change some lives forever for GOOD? Children in foster care have a chunk of my heart. I will never forget the feelings Continue Reading
