• Lately I’ve been listening to some content online about health and the benefits of certain habits, such as fasting.  There was one weekend a few weeks ago that I stumbled upon one video and continued to listen to several videos in the series.  Hearing the science behind how our bodies respond to things like sugar, […]

  • I remember it so clearly.  My 7th grade science class had the privilege of going on a field trip to the zoo.  I was so excited because I knew that not every class was able to go.  And I was really looking forward to a day away from my regular old classroom. But in my […]

  • “If someone could only see my actions and not hear my words, what would they say are my priorities?” – James Clear (author, Atomic Habits) I came across this question recently and it really hit me hard. I tend to think of myself in a favorable light. I would like to think I’m a good […]

  • As we begin a new year, I’ve been hearing more and more people approaching 2022 with cautious apprehension…myself included. If we are being honest, it feels like the last two years left us deflated. 2020 was supposed to be the fresh start of a new decade.  20/20 vision.  Boundless possibilities.  But just a few months […]

  • As we come to another Thanksgiving and I think about what a year it’s been, it can be easy to focus on the more difficult and sorrow filled times of the year.  Many have lost loved ones, received tough medical diagnoses, or have faced difficult financial situations. As I reflect on this past year, even […]

  • Recently I traveled to another city for my cousin’s wedding.  Almost everything went well that weekend.  Everyone who was traveling got to the wedding safely and on time.  The wedding was beautiful and the celebration was a joyous occasion for our family.     But after all the wedding festivities had ended and we were preparing to […]

  • One of the biggest lies that we can believe is that God does not love us. From the beginning, in the garden of Eden, the devil tried to drive a wedge between man and God. When Adam and Eve sinned by doing the one thing God asked them to not do, they hid from God.  […]

  • If you’re looking for a great recipe that can feed your family for a few days, I have a great one for you.  This is a delicious chipotle shredded beef that I have made many times and it doesn’t disappoint.  A special thanks to my friend Renee Thomas who graciously shared this recipe with me […]
