God is God and I Am Not

As I sit here on the deck of a cabin at the Wind River Ranch in Estes Park, Colorado, looking out at the view, I can’t help but to ponder life. The ranch is at an elevation of 9000 feet above sea level, so the air is thin, crisp and clean. So thin, even at… Continue Reading

5 Books Every Woman Should Read

I love to read. There is just nothing better than curling up with a good book and a mug of hot tea, with no plans ahead of you. It’s been so fun going through the book production process, because it’s given me a glimpse of what authors go through in order to deliver the books… Continue Reading

The First Glimpse Of Our Book

The time is finally here- what we’ve all been waiting for.

3 Things We’ll Do As Empty-Nesters

For the past 25 years, our focus has been on our children. Raising them has taken the large majority of our time–between being room parents at their schools, helping their classroom enjoy holiday events and parties and chaperoning many field trips, being Team Parents for their athletic organizations and planning cook-outs, meals and other team… Continue Reading

How I Knew David Was The One

First dates can tell you a lot about a person. They can be scary, full of bent up nerves. They can be comfortable, full of chatty conversations.

Ditch The Tights & Catch Your Flight: The Day I Learned I’m Not Wonder Woman

Have you ever wished you were a super hero? From the time we were young kids, we hoped we could fly at supersonic speed, hide behind our invisibility cloak, stretch our arms to infinity, or save the universe from destruction.
