Why it's more than a name for me, and what that means for you

It’s been nearly a week since this Advent began and I’m still trying to apply a big lesson I learned as I prepared for the last Advent season.

There’s no doubt we live in a world where there is a lot of focus on following our dreams, achieving happiness and living our best lives now.

Over the last several months, I’ve been trying to reflect on any recurring themes or messages I see in my life as I set my goals and prepared to move toward them.

I was up way later than I needed to be, trying to enjoy a little more “me-time” before any effort to keep my eyelids open felt like lifting two fifty pound dumbells.

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost four years since I left my news producing job to be a stay-at-home mom.

The song set to wake me up sounded promptly at 6am.

Each year Thanksgiving comes with a fury and I hurriedly move on with the rush of the holiday season, once again reminded to give thanks every day for the people and things that make a difference in my life.
