Reflections from the Path

There's so much brokenness right now. And the idea that there is beauty to be found in any of it may sound ludicrous. But I promise you, dear one, you can find beauty in dark places. In this episode, I share some words I sensed God whispering to my heart just a few months after my husband died. I hope they're a bright spot in your day!

Since autumn is a season of change, it's perfect timing for "turning a new leaf!" In this podcast, I talk about reading an article at 3:30 am and how it inspired me to forge ahead towards the life I want. I broach the subject of writing our "personal manifesto," or life plan, to steady us when stress tries to knock us off course. Hope you can join me!

Today seemed to be filled with the possibility of becoming anxious. Before it got out of hand I took a gorgeous autumn walk and spent the time focusing on beautiful memories of my sister. A year ago I was booking tickets to be with her after not seeing her for five years. Although I lost her in January, I am incredibly grateful for the precious memories made during that trip. Instead of focusing on what we can't change, let's get outside while we can and choose something to be grateful for!

Today is officially fall and I can't wait to walk in the glory of all that marvelous color! This episode is about finding the rhythms that can 

I woke up at four this morning with a running dialogue in my head that was anything but complimentary. In this episode, I share how I chose to get out of bed and write down the negative "chatter." Then I brought it all to the Lord, asking for His perspective. It helped so much! If you struggle with negative self-talk, this one is for you:)

This is a "true confessions" episode! We all get a little sidetracked sometimes, especially when difficult things happen. This is for everyone who is needing some encouragement to try again.

This episode is the second part of walking alongside my sister during the last days of her life on this earth. Although it was incredibly difficult, there was also beauty to behold. Listen in as I share how God restored our relationship and allowed me to help usher my beautiful sister, Wanda, into the arms of Jesus. Truly a priceless privilege.

In this episode I share the importance of not procrastinating relationships. My sister was estranged from my family for several years. Three years ago Wanda was diagnosed with breast cancer that metastasized. Making a phone call seven years ago allowed God to bring restoration and healing to our relationship before it was too late. Tomorrow I will post part 2.

I have a long history of procrastination. At one point I thought it was just how I was wired. However, more and more I'm starting to recognize that procrastination only leads to overwhelm. In this episode, I share how I'm learning to whittle away at the things I've been avoiding for far too long.

I am no stranger to anxiety. In fact, up until eleven years ago, I suffered from panic attacks. In today's episode, I share how I recently dealt with a situation that brought me close to the edge of panic and what happened to bring me back to a place of peace.

Today I rejoice with those who are celebrating their dads. But I hurt for all whose hearts ache at the lack of a father. To those who sense a void, a sadness, a loss. I hope my words bring some measure of comfort, and that they encourage you to look to your Heavenly Father for all that you need. His arms are open wide!

I felt very conflicted today-dealing with some hard news for a family member. This episode talks about how to turn to God with everything that weighs us down.

Living in the Moment

Today I witnessed friends rehearsing their wedding vows and suddenly I was overwhelmed. It's been two years since I lost my husband. This episode is about walking for therapy-drawing near to God when your heart hurts.

Walking down the path of life health and peace
