My last blog post was pretty emotional and deep and if you know me you know I'm RARELY like that, at least openly. But when I write, I feel like it's a safe space for those thoughts/feelings and I only share them because I know that if I feel it, there has to be at … Continue reading There is a Purpose for your Pain →

Something I've struggled with for years is learning to ignore the negative thoughts.  The thoughts that tell you you're not good enough or that you don't belong. I like to refer to that as "victim mentality". So many people have gone through a tragedy or something traumatizing in their life and many of them can … Continue reading FORGET WHERE YOU CAME FROM →

"O Lord, I will honor and praise your name, for you are my God. You do such wonderful things! You planned them long ago, and now you have accomplished them." When I read this verse I need to take a minute to fully appreciate what is being said.  It's so easy for me to get … Continue reading Answered Prayers →

12/6/18 A few days ago, I received the genetic testing results for Bear & Fox. Unfortunately, both of them tested to be carriers of PRA-PRCD. PRA-PRCD is a genetic eye disease that can start to cause blindness sometimes as young as 3 years old. Luckily, Bear & Fox are only carriers meaning they are unaffected … Continue reading UPDATE: Bear & Fox →

It's crazy how things can go from nearly perfect to completely upside down in a matter of moments.  How you can feel like your life is finally falling into place the way you feared it never would. Then in an instant, its gone. Things have changed. You no longer feel content and comfortable with your … Continue reading Finding peace in the chaos →

As most of you know, I have two Australian Cattle dogs that are pretty much my life.  I take these dogs with me everywhere.  They even come with me to work although they aren't always very helpful! They are now both around four months old and it is definitely their toddler stage! I left Bear … Continue reading UPDATE: Bear & Fox →

As I was struggling to find a topic to write about this week, a song playing on my phone caught my attention.  The song was called "Children of God" by Third Day.  This song has been one of my favorites for a long time but every time I listen to it, it hits me again.  … Continue reading Children of God →

Hey guys! I haven't wrote anything in a really long time so I should probably fill you in on what's going on.  I moved back to Minnesota right before Thanksgiving. Texas was amazing and warm but I missed my family a little too much to be that far away.  I learned so much while I … Continue reading Bear & Fox →

To those of you who knew me when I was 13-14 years old; I apologize. Although I won't go into all the details in this blog post, let's just say I was definitely a "troubled teen". I had short, choppy red hair (that I cut and colored myself 😳). I wore dark, crazy clothes. I … Continue reading A letter to everyone that dealt with the younger me →

I wasn't blessed with a sister until I was 14 years old.  Even though we didn't get to grow up our entire childhood together, I feel like I've been with her since forever. I think my relationship with her is so much stronger than usual because God knew I needed a sister and He handpicked … Continue reading 5 Reasons My Sister Is My Best Friend →
