Celebrating Veterans From the Comfort of Our Own Freedom.
I am so thankful for my Veteran Father-in-Law, Syalvester Young, and his service to our country. A HUGE THANK YOU to all veterans and those actively serving in our military. The older I get, the more emotional I get during this time of reflection as I think about...
Are You Where Your Feet Are?
"Be where your feet are." This sentence seems to be a given. Like seriously, folks....how could I be anywhere else except where my feet are? I can't be in the kitchen when my feet are in the living room. I can't be outside when my feet are inside. I can't be in...
These Shoes Were Made for (More Than) Walkin’
These shoes. Yes they are made for walking but today in a true Spirit-filled moment, I realized they were the reminder that God is walking with ME. You see, I lost my expensive insoles a couple months ago. I looked everywhere. I even prayed asking God to show me...

FOMO: The Fear of Missing Out

Hey…Hey…I Need You!
