The kitchen just got a little taller!


We've been in our home from just over two years now. It's been a beautiful blank canvas on which to layer those finishing touches that add our own uniqueness.  We've had fun adding lighting and furniture, family photos, wall decor, pillows and and and... Lately I've been calling this "feathering my nest". It's one of … Continue reading The kitchen just got a little taller!

Purpose.


At the last all-staff meeting held at work, the facilitator asked us to take a selfie - not posed, but as natural as possible while saying something to the person sitting next to us.  It was awkward - not gonna lie. Then, he posed a question to us.  "What is ONE word that you would … Continue reading Purpose.

What you believe about God.
