GRATITUDE | Part VIII ~ The Core Value Series

FAITH | Part IV – The Core Value Series
Yes it’s true, life can be messy. Sometimes beautiful and magical, other times intense and even downright terrible. But faith is one quality that if understood and embraced, can bring you a whole lot of peace and a whole lot of joy no matter what the season. It’s the ultimate path to surrender. So what…

Why I Broke Down at the Baby Expo | the Plight of Mama & Baby
I was shaken to the core on Friday. An experience that ripped my heart out of my chest. But as sad as it was, it was also like a lightning bolt of love, a catalyst for change – and it reminded me that I am part of something bigger than myself, bigger than my own…
