A friend invited me to celebrate Colton’s fourth angelversary — four years ago, Colton Alderson died due to complications from Cystic Fibrosis. Everyone was to wear blue to honor Colton. People with Cystic Fibrosis have constant mucus buildup that causes chronic life-threatening respiratory distress. Usually, I bypass the countless invites, but for some reason, I accepted […]
My next project is one that would not have existed if I did not walk the bike. Back in September, I was faced with a tough choice — delay my dream or take a leap. I found out what walking by faith and now by sight meant. I knew what it meant … but […]
A hug is the best cure of all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4cOkQWVQ-o xoxo [themify_author_box avatar=”yes” style=”pink” ]

I had not seen Ms. Kendra the weekend before she died because I went out of town. The last couple of times I saw her, I sensed she was not well and I desperately wanted to do something special for her. She was very regretful of the fact that, like her children, her grandchildren […]
I love Super Soul Sunday. I often joke that I go to the Church of Oprah every Sunday. I like Super Soul Sunday because Oprah shares her access to some awesome spiritual leaders sharing God in a manner that goes beyond scripture quoting. There is nothing like listening to another human being applying spirituality […]
For years I knew my calling but I resisted it. I had great reasons for not following my destiny: I was not confident I had unresolved issues I did not like being in the limelight — I enjoyed small intimate groups I was not emotionally ready I had kids to take care of I […]
To Rob, Tristan, Jordan, Casey and Alexandra, What a year it has been. Our family continues to amaze me—not because of the achievements, but because of the work each of you continues to do that makes us the family that everyone sees. Only we know the work that goes into being a family that […]
