Resolutions and the Fear of Disappointment

New Years always start the same, a count down, a couple cozy in the corner, falling confetti that sticks to the tips of your hair, and a glass of champagne to toast new beginnings.  Most people look forward to the hopes of a new year and the opportunities that it will bring.  I always have … More Resolutions and the Fear of Disappointment

That Four Letter Word

It’s a four letter word that is the theme of every song, ballad, and movie; Love.  But what does love actually look like?  The dictionary alone has about 20 different definitions ranging from warm fuzzy feelings for someone to intimacy. The bible defines love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not … More That Four Letter Word

New Year…New You

Fall is by far my favorite season.  It’s … More Falling for Fall
