focus on what truly matters
We recently got a second couch. It's green, it's soft, and it's tufted. I had seen something like it many times and absolutely loved it. After trying to get something less expensive and having to return it (not super fun but thanks to the vendor, not too bad), I took another risk and when I…
I’ve been pretty busy at work, and at the same time challenged. I am very grateful for the new opportunities and want to excel.

Before my husband and I got married, I purchased Boundaries by Henry Cloud and John Townsend. I wanted something to prepare us for the joining of two families. I wanted to know what should be expected and what is realistic, and how both of us could handle it in a loving manner. The investment in…
I recently opened an Instagram account as a different way to connect with people interested in the blog and/or its topics. After reading something I was sent, I was browsing through the feed and was simply amazed by the homes of a couple of users; they were magazine worthy. What kinda got me was that…

I've been listening to a book about thriving, since you know, I am into that sort of thing. The author had recently gone through a life change after collapsing from exhaustion.
