To the Women I Love…
I sat on the couch opposite my therapist staring at my wringing hands. “Two weeks ago made ten years since my mother died. Next week will make a year since my mother-in-law died. Some days I don’t feel that I’ve fully processed that,” I said. My eyes lifted to find her smiling brightly at me,…

Seasons Change: For Me vs. With Me
“The biggest mistake I have made in my life is letting people stay in my life far longer than they deserved.” | Seasons Change: For Me vs. With Me | I saw that quote on Facebook. In typical Chris fashion, I took a moment to find the relevance in it, and I want to invite…

Heart Check: What’s Wrong With My Heart?
My loves, I was torn between two different subject matters today. One of which was going to be very inspirational… You know, the kind that makes you feel so empowered the you believe you can conquer the world. I was sold on that blog until life happened a little bit, and I was once again…
