At home watching The Virgin of Juarez, and this is one of those movies that stays heavy on your heart. Some movies are not just meant to entertain — they are meant to disturb your spirit, open your eyes, and make you remember the women whose stories were ignored. The Virgin of Juarez is a pow

I don’t think people always realize how messy healing can actually look. Not the pretty version. Not the peaceful “everything changed overnight” version. Not the version where you wake up one day and suddenly everything feels light. I mean the real version. The crying in the car version.

Heading to church with a grateful heart, thankful for the week God carried us through and hopeful for the week He is already preparing ahead. There is something so beautiful about starting the day by giving thanks, praying together, and walking beside someone who loves God and isn’t afraid to put H

As you get older, you begin to want less drama in your life. You learn to keep certain problems close to your chest, because you understand that many storms are only temporary. Over time, you learn to move through them quietly, without creating more worry, speculation, or noise around you. Yo

Through the years, I’ve learned that growth isn’t just about changing how you look — it’s about healing, gaining confidence, finding your voice, and becoming softer without becoming weak. I’m proud of the young woman I was, but I truly love the woman I’ve become.

Today I’m thinking of my beautiful Mom in Heaven. 🌷 The hardest thing in life to bear is wanting your mom and knowing she is not there. So forgive me, Lord, if I still weep for a mom I love and long to keep. The sorrow I feel, I can’t explain; the ache in my heart will always remain. This

I was a woman who walked through hell and somehow made it out with a flower still blooming in my chest. It was not easy. There were days I didn’t know how I would keep going, days when the storm felt bigger than me, and the unknown felt frightening. But I kept moving. I kept breathing. I kept ch

Today is for color, culture, laughter, and light. Celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a grateful heart, a bright spirit, and a little extra sparkle. May this day remind us to honor strength, joy, heritage, and every beautiful reason we have to smile. 🌼 #CincoDeMayo #CelebrateWithJoy #ColorAndCul

One thing that has become clearer to me as I’ve gotten older is that people are not truly beautiful because of how they look or how perfectly they speak. To me, true beauty is found in how a person loves, how they care, and how they treat others. It is not something we wear. It is not somethi

My beautiful Lluvia de Oro tree is finally showing off her golden flowers. Pete has been taking such good care of it, and it’s growing and blooming so beautifully. Every little yellow cluster feels like sunshine falling from the branches. It’s called Lluvia de Oro, which means “Rain of Gold,” be

4 years have passed without hearing your footsteps... 4 years have passed without smelling your scent... 4 years have passed without looking into your eyes... 4 years have passed without being able to kiss you or hug you or tell you that I love you... 4 years have passed since I've spoken t

Tomorrow makes four years since God called you home, and my heart still doesn’t know how to accept a world without you in it. Some days I still feel like I’m waiting to wake up from a dream, waiting to hear your voice, waiting to feel the comfort only you could give. Losing you changed me in way

Make today garbage day for your life. Round up all your worries, anger, disappointments, jealousies, resentments, and regrets. Throw them in your mental garbage can, roll it out to the street, and be done with them once and for all. Smile while life carries away the junk you no longer need. Let

Slowly, I am learning that hardships and struggles will always be a part of life. We cannot completely escape them. But in those difficult moments, we have to keep praying and keep speaking life over our situation. When we focus only on the doom and gloom, negativity can begin to take root and s

Watching My Best Friend’s Wedding again tonight, and it still reminds me why it’s one of my all-time favorite movies. It has everything — love, heartbreak, friendship, chaos, humor, longing, and the kind of unforgettable moments that stay with you long after the movie ends. It’s more than just a lo

Every year, watching The Ten Commandments reminds me that God’s voice doesn’t fade with time—it echoes through generations. These commandments weren’t just rules…they were a call to live with purpose, to love deeply, and to walk in truth even when it’s hard. Tonight I’m watching it on ABC, and i

When I truly sit and think about what happened on this day thousands of years ago, my first reaction is feeling sick to my stomach. Even people who don’t believe Jesus is our Savior would agree that what He went through on this day—the day He was crucified—was nothing short of horrific. I thi
