Stories About The Adventures of Life, Love and Other Creative Leaps of Faith
This winter I am living in the snow belt of Northeast Ohio, experiencing way colder temperatures than I have in the last 16 years in Los Angeles. The winter here brings grey skies, crisp wind, and beautiful, peaceful snow. Since December 1, we have had 2 massive snow storms that have brought a foot or […]
Fall is probably my most favorite time of year. The weather gets a little cooler, my palate shifts from fresh berries and summer fruits to hearty squashes and pumpkins, and the holiday season is just around the corner. There is so much anticipation for ending the year with fun, family gatherings and expectation for what’s […]
Ever since I was a young girl, I have always loved organization and order in my life. Everything I have ever owned has had its own place. My room always stayed clean, with my clothes always put away, all my school books and personal items in their place and organized. Having a clean, organized place […]
I was about 5 years old when I started taking piano lessons. I remember my grandmother, affectionately called MawMaw, would drive me to Mrs. McClure’s house, where I would have my lessons in her front parlor. MawMaw would wait in the car, usually, and would always ask me how the lesson went. Mrs. McClure was […]
I am sure you have been there. You feel like you’ve gained a few pounds (hello, Quarantine 15) and want to fit back into your skinny jeans.

I often hear people talk about how God spoke to them, told them to do this or that, and they either did what He said or didn’t. It wasn’t until I did a Bible study called Experiencing God that I even knew how God spoke or that He was speaking to me. For some people, […]
I love movies, especially movies that are inspiring and challenge my perspective of the world. One of my favorite movies of all times is Dead Poets Society, starring Robin Williams and Ethan Hawke. At the end of the movie, the young men in Professor Keating’s class climb on their desks and proclaim, “O Captain! My […]
Pizza…very good pizza is my husband’s favorite food. I admit, I love a good pizza…thin crust, preferably cooked in a wood-fired Italian pizza oven, authentic and delicious. We travelled to Southern Italy in the Fall of 2018 and pretty much ate pizza everyday. I mean, when in Rome…and Reggio di Calabria, Salerno, and Naples, this […]
I don’t know about you, but whenever I am having a rough day, am feeling slightly under the weather, or have a craving for something but I am unsure what, I usually go for comfort food. For some, that may mean a meal that they ate growing up, something that reminds them of better times, […]
Anyone who knows me well knows that I love to cook and that I cook (and eat, breathe, and live for) vegetarian/vegan meals. When I first moved from my parents house, after battling frequent illnesses like strep throat, upper respiratory infections, and digestive issues, I made a significant change in my diet. I stopped eating […]
