My previous word for the year was minimize. I attempted to focus on the core essentials rather than be distracted by consumerism, and to center my life around the needs of others rather than only my own. As I strived to minimize many areas of my life, I realized that there is one thing that should always be […]
This year we passed through life’s darkest shadows and felt the warmth of life’s brightest joys. Through it all, there is no one I’d rather have by my side than you – my supporter, my partner, my best friend. We make the greatest team, and I can’t wait to experience this new chapter in our lives together. Happy Anniversary!

Even the smallest decisions have a power that often goes unnoticed. In the past year, I’ve given a lot of thought to the decisions I make in my life – what I eat, what I wear, what I purchase, what I believe, what I say. After much thought, I have established three priorities by which I want […]
Last year, my word for the year was give, and I made it a priority to seek opportunities to give my time, energy, and love to others. And I realized that the more I shifted my focus to others, the less I focused on myself. For this reason, as I continue to challenge myself to […]
