I just wrapped up 11 spin classes in 5 days. I did 4 in one day and 3 in another. I suppose I did it for a few reasons… One of my I AM STATEMENTS READS: “I AM the good kind of crazy” and I try to live through this lens. I frequent the Scottsdale,…

GET OUT OF THE RING
I had an incident recently with someone who I “should” be close with. This isn’t the first time we’ve had unnecessary friction, quite frankly it seems to be more the norm the past few years. I won’t get into too much detail because frankly it’s not necessary to relay the point. Let’s just say it…
Spiritual or Worldly Lenses?
I recently purchased a new pair of sunglasses. I bought them for the usual reasons we buy sunglasses- I needed a new pair and liked how they fit my face. The best part about these glasses wasn’t discovered until the first time I wore them while walking outside. The particular tint of the lenses made…
Highway of Life
Societal expectations of what life should look like is a stronghold many fail to break away from. I remember speaking with my father during a trying time in my life when he mentioned what I had failed to notice, which was my nearly flawless “societal highway drive.” He explained my life from his vantage point,…

Transformational Renewing
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve of what God’s will is- His good, pleasing and perfect will.” – Romans 12:2 NIV Have you ever read Romas 12:2 and reflected on what is meant by…
Surrender Project Update
Three weeks into this journey and I’m still excited about the future. I can say as I reflect on the past few weeks one word stands out- resonate. I think the intentional focus around the project and attempting to truly surrender all areas of my life (to be best of my human ability) is helping…
