School house rocked

Two significant things happened today. I watched my daughter’s Kindergarten graduation, complete with songs, a P.E. showcase (which was a dance), and a slide show of a cap and gown picture of every last Kindergartner advancing to first grade in the school. Luckily, this is a small town. I opened up the two boxes that have been sitting in my …

Hurry up and slow down

I’m a ‘yes’ man. Well, I’m clearly a woman, but you get where I’m going with this. I say yes to everything and to everyone. And I used to think that was a good thing! I don’t mind being busy, or having a lot on my plate. I feel, probably like most of you, that it makes me important. When …

What’s the point?

Last night was my monthly women’s huddle. I have the great pleasure of leading a small group of Impact Women who are bound and determined to change their life! No small responsibility, I assure you, but I am learning just as much as they are on this path to self discovery and self mastery. And recently, God has put such …

Mind your mind

So recently, I’ve added another conundrum to my medical history. If you know me, you know that when I go to fill out a simple medical history form at the doctors, I’m going to have to do some explaining to someone. I’m 34 years old and I’ve undergone several of the most random surgeries. And these surgeries sometimes beg questions. …

Don’t miss the roses

It’s only February 18th and I have had the great pleasure of spending time already this year- 2018- in Maui, in Nevada, in California and of course, at home in Tennessee. I love to travel, but to some of you, this might sound terrible! I get it. Travel can be exhausting. But I feel so blessed to be able to …

Civil War

Be honest, you totally clicked on this because it’s Valentine’s day and you thought I was being clever with my title and referring to a ‘civil war’ in my relationship. Sorry to disappoint! Today I’m writing about the actual Civil War. But I’m glad you’re here! As I mentioned in my blog, Shalom Family, while my mom and Papa Scott …

Got Health?

You know, it’s almost New Years and just like every single year since the beginning of time, people are making plans to change. To do things differently. Yep. Me too. But here is the deal… Something has been sitting on me the last day or so, and really for months if I’m being honest, and so I figured I’d put …

More on Mary…

Oh, I’m not done with Christmas, Readers! Not yet! Not even close! I wish I would have thought to do a 12 blogs of Christmas, because there is just that much, but hey- there is always next year! So for today, I want to head back to our dear friend Mary (as in Jesus’ mom). Mary didn’t have a last …

Mary, did you know?

I hate that song. I’m sorry if it’s your favorite Christmas song, but I’m definitely not a fan. Is it new? I think I heard it for the first time last year, and now there are covers of it! Are there really multiple recordings of this terrible ballad? I can’t get into it because although it’s catchy, I’ll admit it, …

Mom of the year

Do you ever just feel like you’re winning at life? Me neither!!!! Readers, I have to break it down for you tonight because I am a mom. For those of you who are moms, can I just get an AMEN? I know I don’t even have to write any further… you already get me. But just for fun… I am …
