This year for the season of Lent, I am stretching my limits, expanding my comfort zone and committing to doing a meditation each day. The goal is to walk the road to Calvary with Jesus. To learn about Him more, see His example of how to live this earthly life and empty ourselves out a bit so He can fill us even more. Each day I will select a prayer, a mystery, a passage, a thought surrounding Jesus’ life, His friends, His mother – that will help us get to know him better. I’d be honored if you’d come along with me on this journey.

Episode 5 – Feasting & Fasting – My Unexpected Journey With Intermittent Fasting It’s been more than 9 months since I’ve done a podcast – but maybe this journey will explain why. In November of 2020, after years of yo-yo dieting and self-loathing, I hit rock bottom when my quarantine feasting had led me to […]
A mother knows when her arms need to be filled. When there is a seat at the table yet to have a soul in its place. The road to building a family isn’t always easy. On this episode, I get personal – telling you a little of our story of adoption. It wasn’t easy, actually […]
I started the Virtually Faithful Facebook Group a little over two years ago – I had moved to a new community, was living in the middle of the country (cows are my neighbors), I suddenly lost my Dad and my uncle and I felt completely wracked with grief and the need for connection – for […]
I don’t really like confrontation. I am a person who needs time to think through and gather my thoughts before responding. I’m not typically quick on my feet to come back with an appropriate answer or quip or pun. When I was managing people in the business world, I liked to have my thoughts bullet-pointed […]
My Facebook memory today is from seven years ago. It is only three words; three words that transport me back to a very specific time, place and rush of emotion. It was January 2011. We had been planning for the arrival of our twin babies we were adopting from a birth mom in Florida. We […]
Today, Dad would have celebrated 83 years walking this earth. But instead, he is whole and perfect and celebrating with the love of his life in a place of happiness that is beyond all comprehension to us left here with the memories of his warm smile, his never-ending quips of knowledge and a love that […]
I have the honor of helping my Dad die. Now that I read that sentence, I realize it may seem like I am talking about assisted suicide or something of that nature. I assure you, I am most definitely not. My Dad (and I) believes that God is the only one who knows the day, […]
I am moving. I am not the first person on the planet to move, nor do I have the biggest move of all moves to make. My beautiful friend has moved several times and with 7+ children in tow. My sister moved her whole life from Japan and packed her every earthly belonging into a […]
As the first few days of the new year pass in the cold and ice and fog , here I sit. Just thinking. Wondering. What did I do this past year? And maybe I should make a resolution or two? I’m a bit fearful of making promises for myself this year for some reason. With a […]
