I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend! I desperately want to morph my life into a journey that glorifies God and makes Him proud. I am not a bible scholar, a pastor, a teacher or a person who is qualified to counsel or guide.

I hope you will give me grace, as I'm sure I will make plenty of mistakes during this adventure!

We all have good and bad days and sometimes, we even have good and bad within one day. The latter is exactly how I would define my last few weeks. Of course, sitting on a Caribbean beach for eight days will do a body good and can certainly constitute as a good (actually awesome) day. […]

In case you were wondering why I didn’t post a GEM this past Tuesday – I could not find the wherewithal to put two words together because I was paralyzed by an unfounded fear due to a horrific panic attack I experienced on Sunday night and am still dealing with today. As most of you […]

Summertime is fun. It’s full of awesome outdoor activities, great sun tans, less make-up, less clothes, later bedtimes, sleeping in and a little bit of lazy! What’s not to like? For me…it’s always been just a bit stressful. Of course, kids add a new dimension with activities and entertainment, but they also get bored easily […]
