My First “Hater”

The size of your impact in the world is in direct proportion to the size of the fear you push through while you’re here. And making an impact comes at a price.

Chuck Norris and Motherhood

Handle everything with a disposition open to chance or change…because children are improv artists and laughing is the only way to keep your sanity!

Trust in Jesus

God speaks through amazon fulfillment errors and national anthem gigs.

Anchor Hold

“I made it through bootcamp, I can make it through this” has become my mantra in tough times. I use the strength I gained from that experience as an anchor.

I Couldn’t Keep Up

There will always be a metric to measure success and find ourselves not good enough. Here’s to simply being ourselves instead!

Because of who you are

My worth and value does not lie in what I do but in who I am.

Bootcamp wasn’t this hard…

At least with bootcamp there was a definite end in sight.

A Priest walks into a Harpist…

Sounds like the start of an awesome joke, right?

Even better, it’s a true story…


I was alone, driving a borrowed van, headed to retrieve my harp from school where everyone was already gone for spring break.

The place would be deserted.

This meant for the first time ever I would be faced with loading this massive harp all by myself.

Time to pray! ​ “Ok God, let’s review:

~ I’ve never loaded the harp alone.

~ It weighs 96 pounds.

~ It is the most expensive thing I own.

The way I see it, we’ve got two options:

1. Help me do it on my own or

2. Provide someone who will help me load it…

(preferably a responsible adult).”

I got to the school, covered the harp, strapped it into its custom dolly, and started walking through the building, all without seeing another soul.

Just as I was nearing the door, a man came walking through the building and asked if he could hold the door for me. I accepted and then asked if he could walk me out to the van and help load it in. He graciously agreed and we accomplished the task without incident.

As I was thanking him, I realized he was one of the priests on campus! I smile now just thinking about how God answered my prayer for a responsible adult with a priest! 

So glad I was specific, and so glad that God cares about EVERYTHING in our lives!

I created this meditation “My Hope is Built” with voice and harp is a great musical reminder of this!
