Whenever I start to hike, roughly for the first half of it, I kind of drag ass. I know…SHOCKING for someone who loves to hike so much! I don’t know why this happens, it is just a struggle. I don’t quite “feel” like putting forth the effort that it is going to take to complete...Read More
We have these 2 sculptures in our house that we picked up in Jerome, AZ that were made by a Christian artist. The second I saw them, I fell in love with what they represented. The first one is of a man sitting a huge rock. He is blindfolded and holding a large rock in...Read More
I saw this meme a few days go and saved it, like I do to many that speak to me in one way or the other. When I read it, it made me laugh because this is something I talk about a lot. Someone’s gotta say it. Where did our “class” go? In that same...Read More
Yesterday, I woke up and looked in the mirror. I noticed some wrinkles that I could swear popped up over night and a random very long gray eyebrow hair that I am very certain was not there last night before I went to bed. It is still a mystery how a gray hair can grow...Read More

The “stuff” that matters. Love. Anyone who is married can understand that there will come a point in time when the little idiosyncrasies that you spouse has…well, will annoy you a bit. It is ok to admit it. Yesterday, while I was picking up the towel that Mike forgot on the floor and after I...Read More
2022 is certainly bringing in a lot of changes when it comes to many things, but the only thing I am going to talk about today is the astounding new mortgage limits! I am a Loan Officer, after all. The country has seen some pretty crazy price increases when it comes to housing prices as...Read More
Un-forgiveness: the bitter fruit that rots us from the inside-out. It happens when you continue to carry memories from your past into your present moment. When you continuously live in the past, those memories take up a lot of room in your heart. So much so, that one day you have no more room left...Read More
Newsflash! I LOVE to hike. All along the paths of the trails that I traverse, I am guided by cairns that show me which way to proceed. Sometimes, the path ahead of me is not always clear. I need something to show me which way to go…either I am going in the right direction, or...Read More
