A woman on a mission to support other women in finding their purpose in the many seasons of life: Marriage, motherhood, career, health, and the pursuit of being the best version of themselves.
It has been about 1 year since my last writing. I’ve been quiet, waiting, listening, fighting, attempting to string together coherent words of feelings I have discovered I do not fully understand.

My husband and I recently made a big decision. When I say big I mean life changing and far outside of the original plan. Yeah that plan again… my plan, our plan. We decided that we are being led to move to another state for a job opportunity that will provide not only financial improvements …
