I was always known to be the type of woman who gets things done. There was no hurdle I couldn’t jump over. You know what they say about women who can make a dollar out of fifteen cents? Well, that was, and at times, still is me! I was creative with paying bills, buying gifts […]
You Matter
I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I’m not sorry for what I said. Sound familiar? Most relationships that experience arguments, misunderstandings, or disagreements, typically start out small. Then somehow, they turn into huge arguments because often times we listen to respond, but not to understand. We learned this early on in our marriage […]

How many would like to receive a two night stay in a hotel that includes breakfast, dinner, and a massage for 2? We would, in fact, we did and what happened when we checked in was…let’s just say embarrassing! For one of our anniversary gifts, one of our dear friends wanted to bless us with […]
