inspiration without the other stuff
I REACHED MY GOAL! During this incredibly difficult season we’re in, I can’t thank you enough for your support. Thank you to my donors and others who were unable to donate, but found thoughtful and creative ways to show me love. To those who asked if they can still give: ABSOLUTELY! There is still time […]
GREATER PHILADELPHIA SUICIDE WALK Good morning! This time last year, I was preparing for my first American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) Out of Darkness Walk – as a first time Team Captain!

If honest with ourselves we’d say we have had moments where we clocked out. I’ve learned over the years that the key is clocking back in. The term Mental Health has such a negative connotation and stigma associated with it, that we fail to honor our own humanity by not addressing that facet of our […]
I remember being barren for the first 4 years of my marriage. It was a difficult time. My side of the family is small but I married into a huge, supportive and loving tribe. And Lord were my prayers answered! I mean like literally almost everyone had 3 – 6 children each. Just a kabillion […]
