A couple of years ago, I decided to take a risk and create a new life. After all, who doesn’t dream of a fresh start? I won’t lie, it was bumpy in the early days. I tend to not learn lessons the easy way (or the first time). It was scary. Who blows up their …
Anyone who reads my posts knows how important intent is for me and for how I live my life. Over the last two years, as my world grew in ways I never could have imagined, I have become practically evangelical about the power of intentional action and thought. It is at the center of every …
In only a few short weeks, our homes have transformed from living spaces into classrooms, gyms, offices, and even sanctuaries. The reality of navigating daily life during a global pandemic means we are being tasked with fulfilling our many roles from the confines of the same four walls that were formerly reserved for restoring and …
