Popular belief suggests that one is the loneliest number. I wholeheartedly disagree. I enjoy my alone time and don't ever feel lonely in my company. 😉 I generally portray a positive picture, and for the most part I am coping well and enjoying life, but there are some situations that I find tougher to navigate.… Continue reading One isn’t the Loneliest Number

My husband Cory and I were driving home from church a few weeks ago. It was warm out, so Cory opened the windows. Apparently, my resulting windblown hair was a bit too windblown. We stopped at a light, Cory turned to me wide-eyed, and without hesitation, remarked, "Whoa, you look just like the guy from… Continue reading Sometimes Laughter Really is the Best Medicine

I have had a very difficult time sleeping in bed without a lot of pain, and so spend most nights in the… Continue reading Mackenzie, BC

About a month and a half ago I embarked, along with friends and family, on a dedicated 40 day journey of prayer for healing.  While I can't claim a spontaneous remission, I do have one miracle to report, and as my photo suggests it involves coffee. Prior to my illness, I can honestly say that… Continue reading A “40 Days” Miracle
