The Gift of Joy: Becoming Your Own Brand of Beautiful
I looked at all the little wildflowers around me, the same flowers many would walk past without noticing, and others would call weeds. The sun had just risen, and it was casting its golden light over the field of flowers. They looked so full of joy. It was almost as if they knew just how…

The Gift of Wildflowers
My mom lives near this wildflower garden, one of my favorite little places in town. For months I’ve asked her “Have the wildflowers bloomed yet?” “Not yet.” She kept replying. “It’s not hot enough.”Wildflowers grow from the heat of the summer, and we too grow from heat. We can’t expect to live a sheltered life…

The Gift of Waiting: God is Always on Time
I arrived at my appointment today about an hour early. Not on purpose, but because everything else had been done, and it would have been out of my way to go back home. Thus, I found myself in the parking lot with not a whole lot to do besides waste time. That’s when inspiration struck…

The Gift of Defiant Joy
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:5) In my dining room, hangs a beautiful tapestry—a darkened forest illuminated by a bold and defiant light shining through the trees, a light that refuses to obey the darkness. Defiance is the refusal to obey someone or something. Have you…

The Gift of Eden: Walking With God
Eden was full of gifts—beautiful surroundings, perfect health, no pain nor suffering, and no death. The greatest gift of all, the gift that made all the other gifts possible, was being able to walk alongside God. I’ve found myself at times longing for this very thing, the ability to walk next to my Creator, the…

The Gift of Inspiration: Choosing Between Joy and Jealousy
This is a photo of my neighbor’s rose bush. It’s always been beautiful, but this season has been it’s best season by far—so big, so many blooms. It was this rose bush that inspired me into photography. I snapped a photo one day of my favorite bloom, framed it and gave it to the lady…

The Gift of a Winter Bloom
About a week before the January freeze, I walked outside to notice a beautiful bloom on my rose bush. The other parts of the plant had gone dormant, failing to thrive in the winter weather. It’s easy to bloom when the conditions are right, isn’t it? But what about when life is bleak and nothing…

The Gift of a Newfound Faith
It all starts with faith. Faith is the glue that binds all things. Without faith in others, we can’t have healthy marriages, friendships, relationships with our Creator. Without faith in ourselves, we can never achieve our goals. Faith isn’t about knowing; that’s the hard part. We all want to know something before we put our…

The Gift of That Vintage Sweater
Back in 2016, I owned a sweater—a vintage turtleneck I thrifted and paired with a black mini skirt, panty hose, and black suede high heel boots. I loved so many things about the sweater—it’s uniqueness, the “old world” Victorian appearance, the bright red and black contrasted with baby blue and a touch of light pink.…

The Gift of Two Dozen
I decided to order a piece of Cobaltoan Calcite and a chunk of Rose Quartz to commemorate this era of my life, to celebrate my first two books—“The Gift of a Dozen Reasons” and “The Gift of a Dozen More”. To me, the bright pink color symbolizes joy. This is why I chose bright pink…
