  • one year after divorce

    Hard to believe its already been a whole year since my divorce. Even though I filed in 2021 and had the time to prepare for the future there was still some uncertainty. But look at me…I survived! I didn’t know I would have when it all started. God knew I…

  • back to school

    This year it’s not just “back to school” for my kids. Im going back to school too! I haven’t been in a school setting since 2003. And even though I’m not walking around on a campus, I still feel the stress of it all. I forgot what it was like…

  • I say I’m fine but I’m not

    A memory popped up on my social media today from this time last year. Of course it was in the midst of my crazy life. I had posted the video for “truth be told” by Matthew West. A Christian artist for those that don’t know. A line in the song…

  • more to my story

    I was in church this morning and the first line our pastor said was: “Sometimes the story within a story is much bigger than the story itself.” I have moved from Nebraska to Tennessee more times than I care to admit. When people would ask why Tennessee my response is…
