WELCOME TO THE BLOG

If your school taught you how to dry your shoes quickly and quietly, your school was on a different level than mine. lol

This is one of those life skills that's so simple, you're never taught.

Maybe it's a life hack, but either way, knowing how to dry your shoes quickly (and quietly) is something we all need to know at some point or another.

This video tells you:

• what you need,
• how to position your shoes, and
• how to make sure they get dry on both sides.

Vanity has never been a good motivator for me to 'get in shape' or eat healthier, but I recently saw two friends doing 75 Hard, and one them mentioned the discipline and mental toughness she was experiencing.

That piqued my curiosity. So I reached out to her and she sent me the podcast episode explaining what exactly 75 Hard is. 

Before I tell you why I decided to do it, I'll tell you what's required: 

For 75 days:

• read 10 pages of a self-improvement book
• work out...

When I learned how easy it was to clean out a candle jar, I was shocked. I'm all about re-purposing functional items, so this made my day.

If that's you, too, try this method. It's honestly the easiest way I've found to clean and re-use burned out candle containers.

I've tried different approaches in the past, but once I did this - bingo. It wasn't messy, it was super simple, and it actually made my jar super clean.

I feel it. Have you heard that quote: “The man who chases two rabbits catches neither.”?

That’s my life right now. I have 3 inventions in mind, I have my blog, my YouTube channel, 2 different businesses I want to start with sub-businesses for each, and I’m taking a course that’s teaching me the ins-and-outs of the various social media platforms. And I still have my online job.

These things are wonderful in that they give me hope and reason to push...

The newest Pure Flix film, Unplanned, came out over the weekend – and it’s doubled their expected outcome. They’ve had some marketing set-backs and social media hurdles, yet they’ve still prevailed – #BecauseGod.

The creators of Unplanned, Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon, were prompted by God to make this film, so you can bet God’s gonna see it through. It got an A+ CinemaScore rating which only happens to like 2 films per year.

I feel...

Fear. Dan Peña says he doesn’t have any. How do you get to that point?

Fear is an ugly thing, a limiting thing. I know our brains are wired to protect ourselves and therefore “fear” comes alive to stop us from doing the thing that might harm us, but it really is a ball and chain.

But there’s freedom when you push past it. Do you believe that?

Most things we’re afraid of aren’t as bad as we think they are… or will be.

A couple of...

I haven’t talked about it much, but there’s something churning inside my brain – and I know it’s God’s idea inside of me.

Last year, my mind started whirring over a specific topic.

In the middle of the night, I was woken up at 4am with my mind racing. All these ideas kept coming, so I wrote them in my notes app. Then, a name came for it. And I love it.

I started planning this event aimed at youth and it effortlessly poured out of me. Then,...

My older brother just opened his first gym, and it wasn’t something he planned on doing.

He lives in a small Texas town that has no gym other than the school, and they weren’t allowed to work out there, so he built a small shed in his backyard and stocked it with the equipment he’d been using in his master bedroom. 

After the shed was built, some of his friends would come over and use it, and being that it was really the only place to work out in the...

I was a big time follower in elementary, junior high, and early high school. I did what my friends were doing, I didn’t want to sit alone in the cafeteria, I didn’t want to be left out of things, so I always followed. I didn’t want to be by myself feeling awkward.

At a certain point in high school, my brain switched and life got sooo much better.

I don’t recall the details, but I know that there was something I really wanted to do. It was...

My husband and I have stopped “cutting the ends off the ham”, and it’s totally been worth it.

If you don’t know the ham story, here it is (edited for simplicity):

A man’s wife sent him to the store for a ham. After he bought it, she asked him why he didn’t have the butcher cut off the end of the ham. The man asked his wife why she wanted the end cut off. She replied that her mother had always done it that way and that was reason enough for...
