Even though STAR WARS has been around since before my first birthday, I didn’t know anything about it until after I turned 20. It was my first time visiting the USA and I hadn’t seen my brother in almost two years. He got a scholarship to attend college in South Carolina, so I set up …

Do you know a little film franchise called STAR WARS? Well, I’m sure you do because it’s been around as long as I’ve been alive. Yeah, you can do the math, I don’t lie about my age. It’s miraculous to be alive at any age. And speaking of miracles, I believe in them, and maybe …
Are you celebrating STAR WARS DAY? I am… and I’m doing it for a good cause! Now that I have your attention and curiosity, let me explain. I visited the Disney Creative Campus with other Disney Bloggers and we learned about Star Wars: Force for Change, a charitable initiative from Lucasfilm and Disney, harnesses the …
I’ve been telling you all about my exciting trip to Los Angeles for the AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR premiere and even though it was mostly a MARVEL event, ABC treated us to breakfast, a very special sneak preview of the Season 3 premiere of Quantico, and an intimate Q&A with new series regular Marlee Matlin and …

Words can aid us or derail us from designing a purposeful, conscious life, a life we love living. I always quote the Bible verse that teaches us that “Death and Life are in …
I once had a friend who claimed to absolutely adore everything about me…except for “my rules.” That was a deal breaker! He thought I was so strict with myself and I should “live a little.” If we weren’t compatible back then, I imagine just how different we are now, because my rules have increased, not …
“It’s fine if you don’t ever go to church again, mom, I support you.” I felt so relieved to hear my daughter say that! I had always loved going to church on Sunday, but it had become something I dreaded. At that moment, just the thought of stepping foot in the church building was depressing …
I believe our divine purpose is to strive for happiness each and every day. And with everything we deal with as moms on a daily basis, this may sound far from achievable, but I assure you it is. Now, I’m not talking about not feeling pain or ever crying, or never getting in a yucky …
