In Ohio and I take stock of life after a late night conversation with a best friend, my brother.

Five years ago this weekend Anne said our I do’s, how our wedding rings came together started in 1916 and many hands shaped it through the years!

Never thought I would live in Mason City, Iowa, but here we are three weeks away from relocating and I’m excited about what’s next.

How a refugee family showed me how compassion is a world-wide language and changed my life forever!

I know some trendsetters with the savior complex who have barely traveled a block away from their posh beginnings. Yet, they dole out advice as if they understand struggle on any level more profound than the shallowest puddle in the history of the world. 

An Iconic movie line sums up a big problem we all face from time to time!

As we face relocating our family, I ponder what my second home means to me, From Orwell, Ohio to Iowa City, Iowa how two places and people have shaped me!

The idea our leaders don’t from time to time have life messes everyone else does is false. I examine my mess and talk about why I still go boldly into the world everyday!
