The Gift of Him: Choosing Between the World and the Word
We live in a world where truth is being made obsolete. Truth to many is no longer concrete but becoming more and more fluid. The truth is though, truth is not subjective. Truth is not relative to each individual person. Truth is truth. He is truth, and the truth is Him. When we attempt to…

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 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…

The Gift of Coming Home
No matter how long I’m gone away from home, I can always count on one thing: there’s someone inside that absolutely cannot wait to see me. The truth is, I don’t like traveling without Sassy. I wouldn’t be able to enjoy myself as I would be constantly preoccupied with wondering what she was thinking and…

The Gift of a Hummingbird
I saw my first hummingbird of the year the other morning. I was starting think they weren’t going to show up this season, but I kept putting the nectar out, even though I felt a little silly. If you know me, you know I love birds, especially hummingbirds. I love them so much, I’ll continue…
