• Blogger Challenge: Day 5

    April 23, 2020

    Last prompt of the blogger challenge is here. Today’s prompt is something on your bucket list. I really want to go to Egypt and see the ancient pyramids. I remember the first time I learned of the ancient Egyptian culture. It’s always truly fascinated me. I mean, have you seen The Prince of Egypt? I wholeheartedly believe that they were far more advanced mentally and technologically than we are currently taught. What tools were used to move stones that were heavier than elephants? This is a question I’m asking Moses when I get to heaven. Here are some fun facts…

  • Blogger Challenge: Day 4

    April 20, 2020

    Day four of the challenge – but it’s really day seven. Life comes at you fast and time flies but I’m committed to finishing out the last two prompts. Day four’s prompt is something you miss. I miss my high school art class. When I first starting 9th grade, I considered what electives I should take. When I saw art, I thought it would be a waste of time. I assumed the class was formatted like a history art class. And while that’s not entirely boring, as a 15 year old, I didn’t think as I do now. Sophomore year…

  • Blogger Challenge: Day 3

    April 16, 2020

    Day 3 is here and I am excited about this one. The prompt is What tattoos do you have and what do they mean. I have…8 tats (so far). I got my first tattoo when I was 22/23. I thought it the pain was going to be unbearable but it’s really more annoying. Imagine a needle sticking you repeatedly in a general area. I’ll start in chronological order and post a picture if appropriate. Tattoo #1: Sola Gratia This is latin and means by grace alone. I remember sitting in history class at the Baylor University (sic em bears) when…

  • Blogger Challenge: Day 2

    April 15, 2020

    Day two of the blogger challenge is here! This prompt is someone who fascinates you and why. Hmmm… At risk of sounding too “christiany,” I’d have to admit that I’m really fascinated by Jesus. Hear me out. He was fully God AND fully man. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.  And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of…

    Blogger Challenge: Day 1

    April 14, 2020

    Yesterday began day one of the blogger challenge. But it’s not too late to join in. If you’re a blogger, writing or journal-er, this challenge is for you. Currently, we are in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and so many challenges have flooded social media. I thought it would be fun to have a blogger challenge. I must admit, there are many times that I experience writer’s block. And although I would love to use the shelter in place order to produce more content, but the “where do I start?” question halts the creative juices. So here’s to writing…

  • Faith: Believing Without Seeing

    March 30, 2020

    Today is an exciting day because…I’m launching a tee! This has been a fun and extremely unpredictable journey. Let me explain… As most of you know, I am of lover of all things captioned tees. Many of you have even encouraged me in my blogging journey to produce my own shirts. And while that seemed like a very cool idea, it was also very intimidating. Fast forward to February 2020, when life looked a lot more “normal.” I sat down with a friend and planned out this release. Ok…here it goes! I settled on March 17th. That would give me…

    7 Tips for Conquering Isolation

    March 18, 2020

    Social distancing has commenced and many are feeling a bit overwhelmed. I’m an introvert and the thought of a social quarantine puts me in an unusually happy place. Well…if I’m quarantined without the virus. But for you extroverts, you may sense a struggling future if you are not already. I read several articles this past weekend that highlighted the effects that isolation leaves on your body and brain. As much as introverts would admit, extended periods of isolation affect us all. This ultimately presents an opportunity for anxiety, depression and lack of physical activity. So what do you do to…

  • The Guppy Foot Massage

    January 22, 2020

    Have you ever tried a fish therapy foot message? I didn't even know this was a thing until my recent trip to Thailand. My husband and I were exploring around the Jungceylon Mall in Patong when we saw a tank full of fish feeding on this man's feet as he set calmly.
