It’s that time! Time to start fresh and do great things! Holiday binging on Christmas cookies and rum ham is officially unacceptable. It’s time to kickstart the productivity. I must admit, I love the challenge and possibilities that come with New Year’s resolutions. The problem is, by February we’ve forgotten and are back to our…

(Un)Distractifying: Making Room for What Matters Most
A new beginning. 2016 lays stretched out before us, blank as the first page in a new composition book, waiting for us to fill it in one experience, one adventure at a time. My deepest desire for this next year is to experience God’s presence, love, power and provision in a profound way, and to…
Drastic Measures
I’m going to have to do something extremely difficult in the next few days. I need to think long-term, and that means taking action now so that I can be in a better place a year from now. Friends, Family, guy in Singapore, you heard it here first: I’m getting rid of Netflix. Here’s why….

In my dream life I am in shape, successful, financially stable, and living in a beachfront bungalow in Nicaragua with man that drives me crazy (in the good way). My actual life is the fourth grade Opposite Day of my dream life. This is because knowing what you should do isn’t the same as doing…
Dang it, Proper Pie
Daniel and I have broken up. I celebrated the close of my 21-Day Daniel Fast at James River Winery with Ash Cap. It was delightful sipping a sweet red blend on a porch swing overlooking Route 1. There was live music and a surprising amount of children. I am free! So, before I head straight…
Living the Reality!
I have decided to quit my job tomorrow. After reading Jon Acuff’s book “Quitter”, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s now or never. I need to jump in with both feet or I will never leave the shore. Actually, contrary to the book’s name, “Quitter” is a wonderful how-to manual on how to get…
