“It all begins and ends in your mind. What you give power to has power over you.” I was scrolling through my Instagram feed this morning and saw this quote on Bethany Noel Mota’s feed. It is such an inspiring quote, simply because it’s true. You say you’re afraid, then fear has power over you. You say you’re tired or exhausted, then that feeling of exhaustion has power over you. You say you’re successful, then confidence has power over you. I could go on and on, but I think you get it. I’ve heard people say that if you “speak” […]
Dear Santa…
“Dear Santa… Christmas is less than two weeks away. Do I have time to be good enough to get a good present?” I may be 42 years old, but I still believe in the spirit of Santa.

Pray for Paris
I have always wanted to visit Paris. It is at the top of my bucket list. And even after the events on Friday, November 13, 2015, I still want to visit Paris. Why? Because Paris is a resilient city filled with beauty and love. People around the world — people who have never visited France or Paris, like myself — have come together to show their support for this wonderful city. People have changed their facebook photos to reflect a photo of Paris, the Eiffel Tower, or the blue, white, and red flag of France. Famous landmarks have been lit […]
Sunday Inspiration: Your Sunday Evening Reminder
Photo Source: Live Life Happy via Bloglovin via Pinterest Most Sunday evenings, I find myself wondering where the weekend went. I often sit down and think, “What did I do this weekend?” And most of the time I realize I didn’t do much of anything productive. Tonight, as I sit here writing this blog post, I am already compiling a list of things I need to do before I go to bed. Right now, I have five things I NEED to do before my head hits the pillow tonight. Yikes! But this quote gently reminds me that no matter […]
