Breaking the Cycle
High-5
On Friday, October 29, 2021, I was witness to one of the greatest moments, one of those proud momma moments, seeing my child achieve. We are early into the season of girls’ high school hockey here in Alaska. The way it’s set up, two schools come together to form one varsity team. The number of …
Everything You Need is Inside of You
There is a story behind the quoted words. We are all on our own journey in life, not knowing what is to come. This day, my family and I went on a 9 mile roundtrip hike on Labor Day. Leading up to our adventure, doubt settled in my mind after words spoken by someone else. …

I See You From the Inside Out
“You’re acting like a 2-year-old!” Have you ever been told this sometime during your life? I have, but I don’t remember being told this as a child, rather as an adult. You see, there is a child in us all. A part of us longing for connection, someone to see us, hear our soul speak, …
Truth or Dare?
Truth: Have you ever been faced with a decision knowing good from bad and made the wrong choice? Have you ever felt guilty, regretful, remorseful over poor decision making? Have you ever said negative things about yourself? Have you ever complained about the things going wrong in your life? Have you ever felt like a …
Power to Choose
One might think spending time with salmon fishing with family sounds like a pretty amazing way to spend the day, right? What’s not to love? Lush green vegetation, wildflowers, mountains, water rippling, fresh air, nearly having the river to ourselves. I have been quite fortunate to call Alaska home for nearly 26 years now and …

What Are Your Thoughts?

A Father’s Day to Remember
(Above is a picture of my oldest daughter with my dad in 1996.) Like many of you, I am without my dad on Father’s Day. Circumstances may vary, however the loss of someone you love never fully heals over time. What does happen, is we learn, grow and come to understand ourselves in new ways. …

Ticket to Freedom
On Tuesday, January 7th, 2020, I purchased my ticket to freedom. After a heartfelt conversation with my potential Christian Women’s Life Coach, Mukkove and thoughtful reflections throughout the day, well into the evening, there was no doubt this is where God was leading me. This is exactly where he needed me to be. I listened …

You are Worthy of Receiving Good Things in Life: He Knows How Precious & Priceless You Are
When doubt settles in from events of our past, it’s easy to get caught up in the things we did wrong. From the way we made people feel, words that were said, actions that can never be taken back, letting go of such things can be difficult to do. In my own life, I have …

A Reflection on Brene Brown: “BRAVING”
My Christian Women’s Life Coach, Mukkove Johnson, shared a Brene Brown YouTube video with me last week. I spoke briefly of her in my last blog entry from yesterday, and I have since taken the time to listen in even more closely and take note on everything she had to say. Brene had done a …
My Best Friend…The One I Can Trust
What is it, Lord, you want me to see? What is it Lord, you want me to do? Who is it Lord, that you want me to meet? Will this person, this place, this thing and/or idea, bring discomfort? Peace? To help me understand? To help me realize? To help me appreciate? To help me …
With God, I Can Do Anything!
Today was a busy and productive day. I felt as if I was running off of high-octane fuel. I love it when my energy, enthusiasm and motivation is high. At times, a little overly active, but that helped me to get an incredible amount of tedious work done that doesn’t happen during a regular school …
The Gift of Friendship

Messages From My Old Self…A Time For Reflection
(Originally written 6/2010) It was a brisk morning with a cold wind blowing from the north along the river’s edge. This morning would be the start of another beautiful day and a perfect time for a run. As I started out the door, and onto the driveway, I felt an immediate rush of cold air …

Many Days in Life…
Every day so different. Start each one anew. There is something I keep reminding myself I need to do. How am I to move forward and move on when I allow negative thoughts and memories, the feelings, the emotions of the past, to keep resurfacing? I must get a handle on this (is what I …
There’s Nothing Love Can’t Do
People will one day wake up and say, Who is she? Why haven’t we heard of her name before? Her writing, so raw, so pure, inner beauty—flawless and unique. How did she come to be? How can I learn more about her? Never have I met or known anyone quite like her. Her thinking, so …
