Eric and I are were sitting across each other at the table, gazing into each other’s eyes and completing the statement, “How do I love thee, let me count thy ways....” Nah, who does that? That is like romance on steroids. A bit over the top for me. Actually, we decided to visit a Mexican… Continue reading A Well Check-Up for My Marriage?

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Freedom. What comes to mind when hear or see the word "Freedom?" This week, this word has never hit me so hard on my head. You see, I've been a slave. I have had a stronghold. Oh, I could blame it on my 7-ness on the Enneagram Personality Test or the four letters that I… Continue reading Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

This Is How We Fight Our Battles
I had the privilege of attending a women’s conference a couple weeks ago and the worship band sang a song, “Surrounded,” and some of the lyrics went like this, “This is how I fight my battles, this is how I fight my battles...It may look like I’m surrounded but I’m surrounded by you.” I’ve been… Continue reading This Is How We Fight Our Battles

Take Your Marriage From “Good to Great”
Marriage is a tricky gig. It takes work. Some days are good and all you can do is smile. Some days not-so-good, when it takes everything in you to smile.

Quit Hanging Out at Sin Saloon
I was standing at the nurse's station and some of the nurses and other staff members, mostly women, were simply talking about this, that, or the other. The conversation then turned to a rather inappropriate nature.
