Forgetfulness
I wish I could forget. I truly do. I feel like it would’ve propelled me forward and quicker. My kids amaze me with how quickly and often they apply forgetfulness. Let me explain. A couple of weeks ago, my son and I went on an overnight camping trip with the entire 5th-grade class at his…

Keeping it Real
So, I haven’t been completely honest with. While that sounds bad, lemme clean that up a bit: I haven’t been exactly authentic as I used to be. When I first started this blog over 5 years ago, I was writing from a very raw, tender place. I didn’t care who was reading or why. I…

Too much of a good thing (isn’t good for me).
It has been a while since I last posted. I purposely took a break from most social media. It was taking over my life. I would find myself staring at my phone a lot throughout the day. It wasn’t good. I wasn’t having a great time on social media anyway. I was allowing what I…

the 12 mile road
Live in the moment. Enjoy whatever you encounter in your path and remember to be thankful in all things.
