I’ve decided to finally start writing my memoir! I already have bits and pieces of it, and it’s time to put it all together and really follow my dream of being a published author. I realized that if I had a goal for a book proposal of 50,000 words and was able to write at […]
It’s Our Christian Duty to LOVE!
So…whew, what a couple of days! When I first got that text from my best friend Brooke telling me to check the news about Sullivan, I had no idea that it would turn into what it’s become. Right now, the Facebook page “Support the Sullivan High School Prom for All Students” has nearly 25,000 Likes. […]
Think of the Different Perspectives – Send Love, Not Hate!
Debbie Brewer. She’s the secretary at First Christian Church in Sullivan, Indiana. And she’s my mom. The Sullivan First Christian Church made national headlines recently due to being the meeting place of a small group of people getting together to discuss plans to host an alternative “traditional prom” where gay students will not be allowed.

Release Negative Patterns by Using Positive Affirmations!
To conclude the discussion on releasing negative behavior patterns, I want to take time today to talk about positive affirmations. So, what do I mean by positive affirmations? Positive affirmations are statements that claim certain things as if we already have them in abundance. They help create the reality you want to experience. Meaning, if […]
Stronger and Happier Than Ever
Ok, so despite my initial freak-out when not getting a teaching job, this little break I decided to take this semester is so starting to prove to be well worth the extra $10K in student loans I took out to make it happen. (Hey, it’s for my academic and spiritual growth, so it’s priceless, right??) […]
Release Negative Patterns with a Daily Meditative Practice
When releasing negative behavior patterns, it is important to consciously take the time to let the negative go and create new, positive energy. Just saying, “Yeah, I have negative self-talk” and then coming up with some sort of generic affirmation that you promise yourself you’ll repeat every single day isn’t quite enough. Releasing the negative […]
Release Negative Patterns by Expressing Gratitude!
To continue the discussion on releasing negative behavior/thought/energy patterns… So when we notice a certain negative energy/emotion/behavior creep into our consciousness, we can acknowledge and accept it and then convert it into something we want to create for ourselves – a positive emotion that we can deliberately start to feel instead of the negative emotion. […]
Releasing Negative Behavior Patterns
I’ve decided to do a little mini-series this week focusing on recognizing and releasing negative behavior patterns. I’ve been struggling with a lot myself as I move into this new routine, lifestyle, and worldview. Sometimes we have to consciously take the time to remember that we have the power to create whatever we want in […]
Yay Internets!
My Writing Desk and new Lappy 🙂 I’m so excited to finally have internet at the house! And that I have a new laptop! It will make blogging much easier since I won’t have to leave the house, can do it in my pjs, and have a computer that actually functions properly. 🙂 So yes, […]
Band Practice!
Last night we had “band practice” at our house. Our friend Morgan is a beautiful singer and songwriter, and we’ve started jamming together. She has a lot of original songs we’re working on and some other fun covers, too. We all played at an open mic last week at Firestorm (this cute little bookstore/café downtown, […]
