This has been my mantra all week… Just wanted to share! ~Shiney

The first few times that I heard this song, I dismissed it. I remember changing the station to find another song.  As it played simultaneously on every Christian radio station one day, I thought ‘Maybe I should listen to these words?’.  Such a beautiful depiction of how our God loves his children! ~Shiney Priceless Mirror mirror, mirror […]

For my post today, I am going to talk about my favorite subject- ME! Ok, this really isn’t my favorite subject.  It’s probably my least favorite subject.  I am not a good discusser of me.  You know that whole thing about sitting in the hairdresser’s chair and spilling your secrets? Yeah, no.  That doesn’t happen […]

Several weeks ago, during my prayer time, I began to feel discouraged.  Has this ever happened to you? I looked at the needs that I had written out before me- not my own, but those of the people closest to me and just began to feel sad.  It seemed as though everyone around me was going […]

I know that summer is slowly coming to an end, but I wanted to share this article.  It’s a good one to save and revisit next year. For the past few summers, I have searched to find safe mosquito/bug repellant to use on my children.  My younger one must have a bulls-eye on her back, […]

I love the beach.  It is a feast for my senses. I love staring at the beautiful water with the contrast of the sky and sand against it. I love the feel of the warm sand on my feet and the cool water on my toes.  I love the sound of the waves crashing against each […]

This is me being transparent (again). I’m not sure if anyone else feels this way- if you fight against the same feelings that I wrestle with. As I reflect back on the events around the world in the last month, my heart sinks.  Dallas, Nice, Germany, Japan to name a few.  As I plan events […]

My daughter attends a small Montessori school near our home.  She has been there since she turned one. My son went to the same school from the time he was one until he was ready to start kindergarten. Needless to say, we are know all the teachers, administrators and several of the families. When my […]

This has been a harrowing week in my city.  Until now, I was a by-stander, watching these events unfold in various parts of America. I always knew that my city was vulnerable but you never know just how vulnerable until it actually happens.  So many thoughts have been racing through my mind- What do I […]
