Ok, so you know how I talked in my “mother earth is shifting” postabout being in the most amazing conference (Ignite Your Spark) a few weeks ago and how I “love-love-LOVED” the way it streamed passion and exuberance into my being? How it lit me up? What I didn’t mention is that I wasat a […]

“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” (Genesis 1:3) God said, and then there was. Our Creator spoke life into existence. We have the same power to speak lifeinto our own little worlds. We also have thecapacity to destroy them. I love words…always have. Taught myself to read when I was […]

Just sitting here thinkingof my brothers andsisters inJapan and the devastating earthquake that has rocked their homeland over the weekend…as well as the unrest in the Middle East, our volatile economy, the political instability, global unrest… While all that was happening in Japan, I sat in one of the most amazing conferences for women I’ve […]

Proverbs 31: 10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. (RARE; PRICELESS; of GREAT VALUE to GOD) 11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her (a CROWN TO HER HUSBAND; TRUSTWORTHY) 13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. 14 She is […]

Ascriptorian friend sent this quote along a few days ago: “When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons [and daughters!] of the living Father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty, and it is you who […]

Each of us has someone in our life that triggers everythingweak within us…makes us want to shake some good solid sense into them…fight them down. Yet, that person is usually placed on our path as our greatest Teacher. Theypoint us tothegrand earthly struggle towards Charity. The following is a letter that I wrote someone close […]

This is an entry from an old blog of mine – a couple of years ago. It’s about my only girl, now 12. Sigh–I miss her at this sweet stage: Wed, April 1, 2009 My ten year old daughter, Savannah, has had difficulty staying in her bed at night. “I just don’t like being alone,” […]

This is going to be the year of healing my food issues. I feel it – I know it. It’s gonna happen. Yesterday Jeff and I took our son Noah to a chiropractic neurologist in Idaho. That dr. is convinced that most of Noah’s sensory integration issues stem from an autoimmune disorder…largely exacerbated by his […]

I am convinced that the #1 Truth women resist accepting and comprehending is that of their personal worth. God our Father – because He’s our Father – wants us to walk this Earth with a knowledge of our Divinity. He wants us to “get” ourselves…with humility…with an open heart…and with an expansive mind. Each of […]

Today she would be 40. I was going to visit her grave – about 15 minutes from my house – and got too busy. Or maybe I’m just avoiding. I don’t know… I do know that five and a half years after my sister’s suicide, I’m still feeling the stinging pain of her loss. I’ve […]

I often get asked what my perspective on pageants are, now that it’s been almost 7 years since I held a title… SUCH a loaded question. Looking back, I see my pageantry path as one of Divine Tutoring. Really. It held amazing value in learning about beauty, articulation, carriage and refinement. I have been able […]

Ok, so it’s been over a MONTH since I’ve posted. So sorry…have detached from writing to heed other calls. Pleasantly surprised to note that there were almost 500 reads on my last post, “Those Who Hunger.” 🙂 Please keep reading, friends! Yesterday – Saturday – was one of the most powerful and rewarding days of […]

A couple of weeks ago, I went to pick something up from my friend Jen’s house, thinking I’d be in and out of there and on my merry way – and ended up in an engrossing conversation on her couch for almost 2 hours. About eating. Jen’s one of those friends who can speak Truth […]
