Freedom 

Many times experiencing freedom in life is as simple as letting ourselves just be. When I watch my daughter I see this come to life. She lives, breathes, plays and has fun in freedom. Yesterday, at the water park she wasnt afraid to jump, splash or even face plant in the pool. My nerves were…

Work break.

As a wife, mother of 3 small children, homeschooler and ministry leader it can be tough to find the time to put focus on my business and my dreams.
