My mission is to provide you with inspiration and encouragement to live everyday to it's fullest. I do this by sharing the simple things in life such as recipes to the most difficult of things such a life. We all know life is a struggle and many days a balancing act, but I am here to inspire you to do it well. Everything I write about is designed to inspire as well as encourage you to be a "better" you that you can be. Everything I share is raw and real. I do not cover up or sugar coat what I write about. This would benefit no one. My goal is for you to walk away feeling uplifted and encouraged after leaving my page. Lastly, I am here to remind you that you are… enough and beautiful… just the way you are.
Today’s encouragement is a simple one, but one I think we forget when life becomes busy.
“Seize Today
For each new day is a fresh new start.”

It is so easy to fall into the trap of…
getting up every day
going to work every day
going home every day
running errands every day
going to school every day
Then you go home you tackle the daily life chores. It is time to wash the laundry, wash the dishes, make the meals, do the homework, prepare for the next day, and go to bed. Then the cycle begins all over again the next day.
My friend, I am here to remind you today to seize the day and look for ways to break the vicious cycle of life and make it fun and enjoyable again.
Today’s challenge is to take a step back and evaluate your life. Determine where you can add some freshness to your life, especially during this Holiday Season.
If you took some time to try this, you might be amazed at how much happier you could feel. In my humble opinion, any time you find the time to seek happiness and simplicity in your life, that makes for one of the best Christmas presents ever.
It is my prayer if you do this today, you will find some holiday cheer that will make the week to come a little more pleasurable for you.
I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I have served in the United States Army, gone to college, and received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology. I married my husband when he was on active duty in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform. I have been a wife for a lot longer than when I was in the Army.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 23 years old now was born and I chose to put my career on hold to be a mom and eventually a homeschool mom.
The past 15 years have been wrought with many struggles for various reasons, but it is as a result of those struggles that this blog has come about.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say to God, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to God, then allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
Well, the years passed but the struggles never went away. I feel now is the time God wants me to begin sharing my story. It is my prayer as I share my heart that it will serve as a healing opportunity for you, my readers. Know you are not alone. There are hope and encouragement that waits.
