Thankful Thursday // 09

Our local community is struggling. Sadness, rejection, hate and discrimination took center stage … again. Another week of asking ourselves “Why?” I’m extremely thankful that during these moments of darkness, even the tiniest, thinnest rays of hope and change start to shine through – even if it’s just for a moment. Even if the glimpse is fleeting, only to return another place and another time. I’m thankful. It’s through these seemingly insignificant glimpses of hope that prove to us that...

Another week winds down…and it was a little stressful. It just seems like the perfect storm begins every time we start to feel the weight of a little bit of stress. It builds and builds and builds and builds. Holy moly! Let me catch my breath. GEEZ.

I hope you are enjoying the summer breezes, family vacations, outside dining, fair food, lake cruising, sunbathing and everything in between. This week, I’m sharing my favorite summer moments from around...

Thankful Thursday // 05

Well, we were slapped with an awesome break from the heat, hitting in the 50’s at night and 70’s – mid-80’s during the day. Lovely. {Although, it’s very possible that some of my gal pals were less than thrilled with the chilly morning temps. They’re crazy. :)} I wish this weather wouldn’t end so quickly but, alas, it is summer so I guess we will see our sweating temps again soon. This week, I’m sharing things that really captured my...
