What does CeraVe’ Daily Moisturizing Lotion and a 3-Pack of Chapstick Moisturizer, have in common?
Two things my teen appreciates me for!
We took the time to go shopping together as she was really excited about getting gifts for us and using the money she had earned.
This year has been an especially challenging one for us all. The need to adjust our focus and mindset and literally see the world through a new lens!
Distance learning our lives have become. Getting caught up and lost in a distortion of reality rather than being social, face-to-face with family, friends and other people. How quickly the perception in our lives can change, be taken for granted at times.

A beautiful day in the life
A mom and her teen
Hello and welcome,
I am so glad we have crossed paths!
It’s no accident you are here!
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, notice and read.
As a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher (and so much more), I see the world through my lens. From the way I was raised, to every experience, moment, and circumstance in life, has shaped the way I think and see the world.
For several years now, I have been walking more closely with God, getting to know Him, how He speaks to me and through me. He has given me the ability to write, a way to express how I am feeling and what I am going through. This has been a beautiful, crazy kind of journey where much healing is taking place. A time where I need to offer myself up some grace and appreciate the hard work, dedication, and commitment to creating a better version of myself.
I am learning how to work through and release old trauma, healing, shedding old layers of myself, accepting and embracing my true and authentic self. Getting to know the new me has been quite foreign, especially when the old wants to cling to what is familiar, old habits and mindsets.
Writing has been my saving grace (and photography is right up there too). An outlet, a way to release, a way to pause, reflect and see there is more than what my mind is leading me to believe. God’s word, His voice is there. When I keep Him first, above all things, I’ve realized things work out for my greater good, my higher purpose.
I hope you enjoy and find words of wisdom you can relate to!
