Before We Head into the New Year…

2017 is about over and there’s one thing we can’t bring into the new year: Our insecurities. This includes self-doubt, self-loathing and our lack of confidence.

Be Brave. Go Get Your Dreams.

By Dawn Onley The beauty of the early morning is in the sounds of the wind rippling through the trees, the hum of the space heater and the rhythmic breaths of the babies as they sleep. It’s the perfect backdrop for which I whisper thank you to my creator. God knew my silent prayers and…

Real Life Happens in the Moments

By Samantha McKenzie Real life happens in very brief, random, fleeting moments. Sometimes, if you’re not paying attention, you’ll miss it.
