Reflections on the age old question of how a good God can allow disease and suffering in this world. This will be part III in however many posts it takes for me to write about how God has responded to my questions over the last few years. The breaking point came in April 2017. It [...]
On Disease & Suffering, Pt. II – Life In Constant Threat
Reflections on the age old question of how a good God can allow disease and suffering in this world. This will be part II in however many posts it takes for me to write about how God has responded to my questions over the last few years. Initially, in that first year, I tried to [...]
We Need To Talk
In the current divided state of our nation and churches, it's more important than ever to have meaningful conversation. Written the weekend after the testimonies of Dr. Blasey-Ford and Kavanaugh, prior to his vote on to the Supreme Court. The past few weeks have been emotionally exhausting. Like many, my thoughts were consumed with the [...]
A Mother’s Love Is Supernatural
A mother's love = superhuman strength. When my physical strength fails, somehow that deep God-given mama love always finds a way, giving me just enough to get the job done. When I think I can't go on, my heart powers me with a supernatural strength beyond what I ever thought possible. Moms are truly special. [...]
Motherhood Is Hard
It’s ok to feel like things are hard. Just because we aren’t superhuman, it doesn’t mean moms aren’t superheroes. Motherhood. It is the most beautiful thing - but also the hardest thing. The most rewarding thing - but also the most exhausting, backbreaking thing. I started this page to help me keep perspective and stay [...]
Unconditional Love: Shifting How We Respond To Tantrums
Giving our little ones the support, space and safety to feel. Toddlers are amazing...but also exhausting. Emotions can run so high, and the simplest things can become such struggles (dinnertime anyone?). But today, I want to talk about unconditional love. I was venting recently about how our evening routine felt so chaotic and that many [...]
Looking Forward: Creating A Family Vision
In my professional life as a marketing executive, one of the most important aspects of my role is casting vision for our company, brand, and business. Without a clearly defined direction, it is inevitable for an organization get sidetracked. Defining and aligning on a clear purpose and mission enables us to effectively use our time [...]
Mother – With All My Heart
It isn't about the labels. At the end of the day, we are all just moms, doing all that we can in the best way that we can. As moms, we are more than familiar with all the labels. Working mom, stay-at-home mom. Work-at-home mom. Tiger mom. Helicopter mom. Pinterest mom. Crunchy mom. How about [...]
You Are Enough
It's less about "what" than it is about "who". We're all doing the best we can, and at the end of the day, that's enough. Breast or bottle. Co-sleeping or sleep-training. Some screen time or none at all. How to discipline your kids. Can I just confess that sometimes I feel like I have no [...]
The Power of Storytelling
Thoughts on the power of storytelling in effective communication and marketing - as told through our Spring Break experience at Disneyland. Spring break is over! It was fun, but I confess I'm glad to be back home. Against our own foresight that it would be utterly exhausting, we eagerly succumbed to the concept of the [...]
