Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day here in the US. I am blessed to be visiting my mom in South Carolina for the week. Games of Yahtzee and comfort food have adorned the week, with plenty more to come! Here are a few random thoughts on some not-so-random blessings. My dad was transferred with his company right…
Remember when I said I was going to do one of these posts every Wednesday this month? Oh well… this turned into something different than originally planned, and is finally being completed. But hopefully, it will touch you in some way. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am continuing to keep myself focused on the…
Today is Gabriel’s birthday. He would be 23 years old if he was still with us on this earth. 23! I am getting old. Just before I turned 23 years old, I moved to Danville for a six-month music therapy internship at the VA hospital. I had no intention of staying in this community, and…
Dusting things off here, and what better way to do that then to link up with #WorthRevisit posts! This way, I don’t have to write anything new tonight…yay! This post was originally posted on September 11, 2016 and I felt it was timely for today. I will be linking up on Reconciled to You and Theology…
Last week, I was blessed to attend the annual Heartbeat International Conference, held in Chicago.

I really had not planned on doing the #30DaysofGratitude theme this year, because I knew I wouldn’t keep up with it. Here it is, November 5th, and I am just getting around to writing my first post in 2 weeks. Where have I been? Watching and being completely distracted by the most amazing post season…

It’s time for another Wednesday #WorthRevisit. Plus I am continuing my focus on Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. Tomorrow is Gabriel’s birthday. He would be 22 years old if he was still living on this earth. Hard to believe it sometimes. I will be speaking next week at the local Pregnancy and Infant Loss…
