Surrender to Him, Find Joy, Live Fully
So sad today at the passing of Kobe Bryant.
Do people put you down? Does someone in your life dismiss your dreams? We can still choose to shine bright!
I’ve been helping my mother quite a bit lately. She’s recovering from a pretty extensive surgery in December. The world doesn’t just stop when one is forced to slow down and recover. I was reminded of this the past few days as I am battling the cold/flu that’s been so prevalent this year. Life must…
Why do we go from success to failure so quickly? Why are some days so much easier than others to accomplish the same thing? Perhaps a perspective of learning through hardship could help us still find JOY in the hard times… Here are a couple recent examples that helped me learn this very fact! We have a choice on the lens we see life through!
I started my Surrender Project early May of 2019. I did so because I was worn out trying to figure out life on my own. I was tired from obsessively trying to control my future. I was tired of chasing fulfillment in work, from loved ones, and via external pleasures. I was tired of hurting…
Almost four years ago I was left feeling empty after years of “success.” I couldn’t muster up the ability to write down any goals, only three words: Peace, Happiness and Contentment.

A lady sped up instead of letting me cross in a parking lot. I let this upset me, but why? Expectations of others to treat me like I would treat them. Why would I let someone else dim my light because they aren’t treating me as I would them? Check out my perspective on this new post: Speeding Through a Parking Lot
I’ve mentioned SHEDDING in a few posts recently. I feel like it deserves ample focus as I continue to experience different versions of the word. What am I SHEDDING though? The first thing I think of when I hear the word SHEDDING is how my dog Murphy leaves more hair around my house than is…
So we ran the Classic Tough Mudder on Saturday. Unfortunately, as many of you know, I came down with either food poisoning or the flu early Friday morning. Needless to say, I wasn’t feeling up to running nearly 10 miles coupled with 25 obstacles by Saturday morning. I debated heavily and almost decided not to…
