  • What I Do

    Might be easier to ask what I don't do.

    No Instruction Manual

    Trying to not be the reason they need therapy! My life is so full because of my cubs. Full of laundry that is! Jk, there is a lot of laundry though.

    Play Outside

    Staying Out After Curfew

    I only discovered the great outdoors after moving North despite growing up in the South. Camping, hiking, kayaking, I enjoy it all. You won't catch me out in snow!

    Don't Mind Getting Dirty

    Normally don't advertise what good I attempt to do, but it plays a big part in my life. Anything from reading to the kiddos to beautifying a neglected park, I'm always willing to help.

  • Who Am I?

    This has always been a tough question for me. Typically the response involves titles I hold or things I do, but it should go deeper. What if all of those titles and things were taken away? So instead of  just Dog Lover (aw, wook at 'em!), more broadly - I am a Reflection of Love.

    Love of Him, Self, & You

    Day by day attempts to make my outward appearance reflect my inward love for God. I don't always get it right though. The good news is, He always does. I reflect self love by replenishing my spirit and saying no to things that don't bring value. Others should see the reflection of love in an encounter with me. It's by far the hardest one of all...still growing.

    7 Wonders

    A World Tour

    I've had the pleasure of seeing four of the seven "modern" wonders of the world: the Roman Colosseum, the Great Wall of China, Petra Jordan, and Chichen Itza in Mexico. Can you guess the rest? No Google peeking!

    More to Come

    No Place Like Home

    There's still so much to see here in the U.S. My favorites are Chicago in the Summer, New York in the Fall, California in the "Winter", and there's always time for the ATL. We'll see if I can sit still long enough to collect some dust.
