Renewal

I really don’t know where to begin this.  I must say that the last couple of months have been somewhat discouraging and heartbreaking, but they have also served as a season of change, hope, and renewal.  The time that I spent purging that which needed release from my life was immediately subjugated with something new, [...]

Happy Birthday, Biki Boo

Today, our family celebrates my niece, Elizabeth’s, 8th birthday. Elizabeth is the heart of our family. She is the little one who is extremely sentimental and has a passion for animals. She and I share this love so most of our conversations verge on sharing different animal facts with one another. [...]

Stripped

Today’s leadership team meeting was powerful. I am not sure that is even the appropriate word, but its the one that is stewing in my brain.
The Leadership Team of Cornerstone Church gathers every week. Every week is different, but our meetings tend to consist of the same components. We always celebrate wins [...]

New Kids On The Block

Well the concert was all the things I imagined and more. There were four of us that went to the concert. It was me, my sister, my cousin Michelle, and my cousin Maritza. We have loved NKOTB since we were 11. 22 years ago we formed an allegiance and a love for these 5 guys [...]

Fantastic Four

I got to play “mom” this weekend. I spent the weekend taking care of my beautiful nieces and adorable nephew while their parents were out of town. We had a blast – we always do. We played outside, we jumped off the furniture, we had tickle wars, we ate pizza and ice cream, we danced, [...]

I realize this blog post is oozing cheesyness right about now, but here’s the thing….I have loved [...]
