Yep. It’s done. I did it. I didn’t cheat once. Not a lick, not a taste, not a sip of off-limits food. I’ve never felt so accomplished. Honestly, college, jobs, motherhood, races, triathlons, yoga certification, career, speaking to groups, starting a business, writing, teaching, studying, learning, blogging, growing, parenting…who cares about any of it…the

A Mother’s Prayer
She woke up today with a heavy heart. Anxiety pierced her chest. Slushing through the breakfast routine she wondered why. Fell asleep reading a book about minors being stolen and trafficked. Could wreak havoc on even the most hopeful mind. Studying, learning, praying, demanding some sort of safe haven for these sweet souls bought

Limitations as Invitations
In our Holy Yoga training the other day, we learned this: “Limitations in our lives equate to freedom”. We were talking about physical limitations relating to yoga but honestly, that statement just blew me away. The Truth is that when we accept our limits and need to lean into God’s strength and power, we are transformed.

Unwritten
Those of you who know me can look at this picture and you can feel how excited I am. Two songs come to mind right now. 1) Blank Space by Taylor Swift… “I’ve got a blank space baby…and I’ll write your name.” (This is pretty much always on my mind since I can’t stop singing

Community
I want to be in community. Yes. I’ve been wounded. Yes. I’ve been hurt. Yes. I’m angry. Yes. I’m afraid. Yes. I’m lonely. Yes. I want to be in community. Yes. Jesus is the yes man here. Hearing us. Listening. Affirming. We don’t have to deny what has happened to do a new thing. We

Today my yoga teacher said this…”Let what you love and what you do be the same thing”. In other words, Do what you love. I have to admit, I don’t always do what I love because I don’t love laundry and I do a lot of that. However, when I am practicing Holy Yoga, I

Usher or Bouncer?
I read somewhere on the internet (I just cringed as I wrote that – I really can’t remember where I read it – sad but true – so much good stuff and I’m always reading!) a great question. Here it is. Are you an Usher or a Bouncer? I love this. Especially as it applies to

There but for the grace of God, go I
Friends, we need to talk. I was slapped into reality this morning when my friend called to tell me what happened to her son. He was hit by a car yesterday on his way to school. He’s okay. Praise God. The really weird and crazy thing is that her other son was hit by a

Share Your Prayer
I have spent a lot of time over the years praying for my kids. I don’t think there is any little corner of their lives that I have not covered in prayer. That is, until something else comes up. My kids are getting older and as they do, my prayers become different. All the usuals
