Is there something you look at that helps your perspective? I love the reminder of the globe on my desk. At times my world can see small and suffocating. When I look at a globe I’m reminded of so many things. I think of places I’ve traveled. Memories I’ve made. People I’ve met. I think of my friends in Rwanda and how very different their daily lives are from ours. I think of their smiles and joy from the littlest of things. I think of my family in Pittsburgh, Ohio, Virginia,

Don't you wish you could always walk through fields of flowers? 🌼I know I do!! The ocean was all around us and so was this spectacular display of flowers. Almost four years ago our family from Pittsburgh was visiting this place in Malibu for the first time. And this is what they got. The cliffs haven't been this way since then thanks to the drought. But we're so grateful our family got to experience this beauty. Have you been to a place with epic flowers all around you? Wo

“Jesse I will play Twilight Imperium with you guys if you do yoga with me and Caleb.” This is one of my favorite deals I’ve made with Jesse and the whole night was fun and hilarious. Caleb would tell me stories where they would make deals as kids that if Jesse played soccer with Caleb, then Caleb would build Legos with Jesse. I learn from the best hanging out with Jesse and Caleb. Love this pic we took of my brother-in-law. It didn’t take long for me to feel like a real si

What gives you goosebumps? I get goosebumps a lot when something moves me and I get them when I look at this picture. I loved being here with my husband and the colors are just WOW to me. 😍We had such a fun little adventure walking along that trail and I collected pine cones for some Christmas creations I will hopefully be making soon. What about you? Love to hear from you! #goosebumps #God39screation #bigbear #adventure

What songs bring back amazing memories for you? “She had a BBQ stain on her white t-shirt, she was killin me in the mini- skirt” My husband and I were singing the song as he took the picture of me. There’s something about being in an old truck with land all around you that bring you all the country feels. I think back my senior year of high school with some of my best friends from Pittsburgh. The memories of country concerts singing our lungs out to “Mud on the tires”, havi

Hey you! Yes you, the one scrolling on your phone, can I ask you a question please? How is your heart today? I ask this question to my friends and I ask it to you. Your heart matters! It’s easy to forget how very important the condition of our heart is. When we share deep things of our hearts with others we might not always get the love and care we desire. We might have others invalidate the way we feel, not listen, or give us unsolicited advice. For me in these times, I hav

Where is your hometown and do you still live there? Over 6 years ago I drove across the country from Pittsburgh, PA to Pasadena, CA to get my Masters. Since then I’ve had so many wonderful experiences living in Southern California. The best part, I met the man of my dreams here, which has kept me here as long as it has.
