This morning I woke and decided to dive into my devotional…today was on Matthew 18: 3-5. It was all about children and their dependency, their confident trust in someone being above them (parents, grandparents, guardians, teachers…I think about Uvalde…and those children. Just legit prayer for the school, community and families.

I'm back!! Humans it has been a long time for me getting back. I ventured out to try something new… and I failed miserably so far. I'll still be trying overtime when things possibly slow down. I instead went back to what I knew and loved…so here we are. I'm turning 35 in a few days and I'm really wanting to remember that I'm loved. Loved by ME and by God…this episode is smooth and filled with uplifting news. Tune in! Oh, and come see Dot at GroundFloor Theatre!! We close May 28th. You've got a lil time…tickets are going tho

Hey humans! You still there? You still hanging on? I have decided to try something new. This episode was recorded at the end of February with hopes of editing quickly and putting up something new for the year! I then, looked at my finished project and thought..."who you rushing this for?" This new endeavor is such a work in progress and I am finding such joy in trying something new and maybe surrendering to my "callings"....not video editing...maybe not yet but it's fun!! I'm stoked to see where this goes. For now, that about SUMS it up! With Summaries with CHOC! Follow me @sumswithchoc on IG --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/michelle-ct-alexander/support

In this episode I simply ramble about what summer has been like for me trying to keep a “sound mind.” I talk about an event that happened this week but how I'm trying to take a more “sound” approach. I also talk about the GOOD/BAD TINGZ that have happened this year but mainly this summer. I'm sort of ready for new levels but also know that I need to embrace the latency of things sometimes. Either way, I've been doing CBT sessions and have really learned about the importance of completion, and embracing imperfections. Come along for the riiiiiide!!
