While the notion of living out our days at the beach sounds like a dream, the reality is we are busy, hardworking people just trying to tackle life’s daily challenges and find the inspiration to really create the life we want. Whether it is faith-based inspiration or just real like talk about life with two teenagers, I hope that you can find content that is relatable, motivational or just a quick little break from everyday life.
I can’t believe it is already back to school time! It came up quickly this year since our summer was shortened to adjust our school year in our district. So ready or not, here we go!
