Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy. If you’re trying to do it all without losing yourself in the process, you have found your sister in the struggle!  Continue reading to discover some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world.

Wordless Wednesday: 4th of July Weekend



I had the blessing to spend a happy, healthy and safe 4th of July weekend with my family. We went to the beach in Presque Isle, Pennsylvania. We had a cookout. And we watched the fireworks.

Just a typical holiday weekend...





We had the quintessential American holiday, something many take for granted. I am cognizant of the blessing of it all because four people were shot about a mile away from where my family and thousands of others watched the fireworks.




Things to remember...


There are lessons here. Here are a few that come to mind.
  1. Cherish liberty. However, cherish those you claim to love more.  
  2. Tell them that you love them.
  3. Embrace them whenever you can.
  4. Put safety first.
  5. Above all else, be conscious of your blessings and take nothing for granted.
My prayers are with the families affected by the violence in Pittsburgh.
