It's a chilly yet sunny day here. The leaves are changing and we are definitely entering fall. Fall is probably my favorite season. I love the crisp yet warm days.

My new oasis… in progress
I first have to say that I'm awe of nature and how God works. I told you my word for the year is patience and he is showing me more and more how my lack of patience hinders my progress. Being a novice at all things outdoors related, my patience is truly being tested. Until… Continue reading My new oasis… in progress
Make It A Great Day
If you call my work phone and get my voicemail you'll always hear the end greeting, "Make it a great day". It has been the signature on my voicemail at every company I've worked for.

Finding Purpose
After 5 1/2 years, two breaks, and a near nervous breakdown I have finally finished grad school. Honestly many days I wanted to give up. I literally had to take off last year because I could not cope with anything aside from work and only because it is my source of income. Now that it's… Continue reading Finding Purpose
