This year marked a quiet but significant turning point for our family. After spending nearly a decade in the MLM and network marketing world, I stepped away.

ForContinue reading “Leaving MLM and Choosing a Simpler, More Peaceful Path”

There is something special about Sundays at the end of the year. They feel quieter. More reflective. Like an invitation to pause before stepping into what’s next.

My Word for 2026: Abide
There is something sacred about looking back before stepping forward. When I started praying about my word for 2026, I did not hear anything loud or flashy. No big declarations.

Creating Meaningful Family Rhythms During Christmas
Christmas has a way of magnifying everything. The joy feels brighter, but the pressure can feel heavier too. As moms, we often carry the weight of making the season magical, meaningful, and memorable all at once. This year, I’m learning that meaningful doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from slowing down. Family rhythms aren’tContinue reading “Creating Meaningful Family Rhythms During Christmas”
Christmas Reflections: Gratitude in the Midst of It All
This Christmas could have looked so different. That thought has been sitting heavy and holy in my heart as we move through this season.

None of it feelsContinue reading “Christmas Reflections: Gratitude in the Midst of It All”
Learning to Wait with God in a Busy Season
Advent invites us into a posture that doesn’t come naturally to most of us: waiting. Not rushing.Not fixing.Not striving.Just waiting with expectation and trust.

A brake line wentContinue reading “Learning to Wait with God in a Busy Season”
Calming Your Nervous System Naturally During the Holidays
The holiday season is beautiful, but it can quietly overwhelm our nervous systems.
