Truth. Love. Joy.
Last week I wrote about being stuck-in-a-rut. I had taken a much needed 40-day break from some specific distractions, and a lot of action in my life, to reflect. “Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.” - Peter Drucker During this time of reflection, I read several

Recently my husband and I got the gift of a lifetime… …ONE whole weekend without our kids. For some of you that may not sound like much, but for us, it was a miracle. We have no family who live close in our area, so these types of weekends are few and far between. As
