To start, I will tell you something about me. I am married to an amazing man. He is not my first husband. I had to learn some hard lessons before I was ready for someone who loves me the way he does. We have two kids who are growing up too fast. I always want to be a better mom, even when I think I’m doing a pretty good job. In my work, I am a professional whose job is very demanding. I am a Christian who believes that Jesus died for my sins but who also struggles with my faith. My house is always a mess, I am way too busy, and I am searching for happiness and peace, time to live.

This is a page born out of my frustration with this season in life and the hope that by doing something different – something outside of what I know – that I will create the life I am seeking. I want more joy and less stress. More faith and less fear. More rest and less business. More time with my family, more time for friends, more time for the things that are truly important. In order to reach my goals, I must grow.

This is a space for both failure and success. It is a space to be honest with myself and with you. It is a space to explore new ideas, try new things, and be accountable to myself and to you.

My hope is that something in my journey will inspire you, will help you, or will give you hope. If nothing else, I hope that the act of investing in this journal will help me find my path and maybe it will help you do the same.
