If you want a little more about me: I live in western NY, am a Bills fan, and have a small family of 3 (4 if you count our pup). I love vacation & I love being home. I love Christmas & I love summertime. I am an avid cookie baker & eater. I’ve recently branched out to lemon meringue pies & it’s working out, but chocolate chip cookies will forever and always be my first food love. I’d be in the sunshine every day if I could & I’ve never had a Pepsi or a Coca Cola in my life. [insert sunglasses emoji here]. Can’t wait to meet you!
Bottom line:
Daily struggles can swallow us up, no matter the season. On the daily, we’re filled with questions and wonderings and frustrations and we just want to know — is there any good here?
I’m gonna say - YES!
Amidst the struggles, we can find goodness & light in…
Our personality struggles.
Our work.
Our faith.
Our parenting.
Our marriage.
Our physical, mental & spiritual health.
Our politics.
Our community.
