Just walk into any store this month and most likely the first display we see is love themed. Love is in the air. February is the month of love. Valentine’s Day. What a loaded holiday. It can simultaneously bring joy and misery all in one. For some, Valentine’s Day is a reminder of how exceedingly loved they are.…
To best serve this community I recently posed the following question to a very engaged and loyal member: What topics would you find encouraging for me to address on my blog?

I have been blessed to have had such people in my life, especially during difficult seasons. Two such mentors, Walt & Jane Miller, will always hold a very special place…
Have you ever been restricted to one page? A letter. A resume. We type everything out and it spills onto a second page. So, we edit. Eliminate. But we just can’t seem to squeeze everything we want onto one page. So we adjust the margins. We shrink and squeeze them until we can successfully cram…
In April I met with a local news station to share my story of Sexual Assault for Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). It might not make sense to everyone, but I jump at every opportunity to share my story. Why? Because our stories matter. Our voices matter. They need to be heard. Only one person…
