Originally published in Her View From Home. When we first met, I was timid. You were animated. I was insecure. You were confident. I saw the gray, which brought uncertainty. You viewed everything clear-cut in black and white, which allowed you to be unwaveringly sure of us. Right from the start. If I were to... Continue Reading →
Tired of Broken New Year’s Resolutions? Try Making a Vision Board
There was a time when I would naively make big, lofty New Year’s resolutions, only to break them all just a few weeks into the new year. You know the kind: work out every day, eat super healthy, stop doing this and start doing that. The first couple weeks are usually pretty great! I’m following... Continue Reading →
Little Drummer Boy: So To Honor Him
The week after Thanksgiving and Christmas are always difficult for me. The joyful busyness of traveling to see family somehow feels so long ago. The story-telling and laughter fade into distant memories as I muster up enough strength to get back into my normal routine. I’m on autopilot as I catch up on laundry and... Continue Reading →
Embrace the Journey

Love without Limits
The intimacy of God's love astounds me. How does this Perfect God love without limits? I have always been a lover and not a fighter. I don't like conflict and would rather everyone get along and be encouraging of one another, but there is something that pulls at my thoughts and emotions which turns my... Continue Reading →
For Starters…
I am a newlywed, passionately in love with my handsome, engineer-minded husband, Daryll Devon II. I have a growing interest in the arts: dance, writing, and photography. A natural-born observer, I find all God's creation fascinating and worth the time to explore and ponder on. I'm an owner of two felines, one who is typical... Continue Reading →
