🌍💛 God Sees You — My Journey to Namabasa, Uganda

Over ten days in Uganda, I worshipped with courageous women, held the hands of widows, danced with schoolchildren, and finally got to meet my sponsored child, Allivin. The people of Namabasa welcomed us with open hearts—and I left with mine forever changed.

🎥 I’ve created a short video to capture a small part of what I saw and felt. You’ll hear the drums, see the joy, and maybe even sense the Spirit of God at work in this beautiful village.

📝 I also wrote a blog to go deeper. I’d love for you to watch the video, read the story, and let God speak to your heart. God sees you too.

🌸 Happy National Siblings Day! 🌸

Growing up with three sisters meant never having to look far for a friend, a cheerleader, or someone to borrow clothes from (with or without permission 😉). Our childhood was full of laughter, whispered secrets, late-night talks, and the kind of memories that only sisters can make.

But what’s even more special? Growing older with the same beautiful women. Life has taken us down different paths, but our bond has only grown stronger. Through every season—joys, heartaches, milestones, and ordinary days—we’ve had each other. What a blessing it is to walk through this life with sisters who know your history and love you just the same.

Here’s to sisterhood—past, present, and all the adventures still to come. 💕

Retirement: A Season of Repurposing

Retirement isn't the end- it's a new beginning. In my first week of retirement, I found joy in repurposing thrift store treasures, turning what others discarded into something beautiful and useful. It reminded me of how God works in our lives, renewing and repurposing us for His glory, no matter our age or past.

Just like an old table can find new life, so can we. You're never too old, too broken, or too worn to be used for a greater purpose.
Discover how repurposing treasures taught me about faith, renewal, and finding purpose in this new season of life. Click the link to read more and to see a video I made of my repurposed treasures!

✨ After 35 years in procurement, I’m officially closing this chapter and stepping into a new adventure! ✨

Retirement is often seen as the end of the road, but for me, it’s the beginning of something exciting and filled with possibility. I’m thrilled to dive back into my passions—writing, blogging, and launching a new season of my podcast. This is a reminder that it’s never too late to pursue the dreams you’ve tucked away for another day.

As I look ahead, I’m trusting in God’s plan and eagerly anticipating what’s next. Life is full of seasons, and this one feels especially vibrant and full of promise. To anyone wondering if it’s too late to start something new: it’s not. Your next chapter might just be your best one yet.

Here’s to growth, faith, and embracing the unknown with open arms. Let’s go! 🙌

“Gentle Yoga For Beginners” was gentle and I loved it. This is me arriving at class, determined to try new things this year. 🤗

I read this in a yoga book that “you are only as young as your spine is flexible.” I tried yoga once years ago and it was anything but a peaceful zen experience. 😫

Today was very different. Which is good. I’m signed up for a 6 week class.😍

What should be next on my try something new journey?? 🤔

Yesterday I went to the Savannah College of Art & Design’s Museum of Art and saw the incredible exhibit from Christian Siriano! He is the best designer ever to rise up from Project Runway! I am a super fan and this did not disappoint.

The exhibit is called “People Are People” and Christian’s purpose was to show the next generation of designers that every person in every shape & size wants to look beautiful.

Honestly, it took my breath away. Staring at the beauty I just kept thinking THIS is his dream come true from all of his hard work, dedication, and unfailing commitment to his dream.

We all can do this! By THIS I mean whatever our dream is. Wonder if Christian will be a guest on my podcast? Season 2 is coming soon!🎤♥️💛💚💙💜

Helmet head update! I am pleased to announce that this crazy thing works! I noticed new hair growing along my hairline. My hair dresser confirmed I have new baby hair growing all over my head. It’s about an inch long now. 🙌🏻 I still have 3 weeks to go before you’re supposed to see the full impact. So far this thing gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from this girl!

What am I doing? No, this is not my Halloween costume. This is my last attempt to restore my hair loss, at the recommendation of my hair dresser. She shared amazing stories from other clients who have used this. iRestore laser hair growth system is what it's called and it looks rediculous. I shall refer to it as my Storm Trooper helmet. If this sucker works, I will call it my best friend! 25 minutes every other day for 16 weeks and we shall see. I took a picture of my thinness in the back so I can compare. I'll share the before & after with you in 16 weeks.

All of the products I've been using have not helped at all, in fact it's continued to get worse. Time to bring out the big guns... the Storm Trooper guns!

Stay tuned and may the force be with me!

This week is the season one finale!

We are closing out this first season with something a little different.  I’ve invited back a recent guest that many of you know, Dan Wade, also my husband!  

Today we are doing a bit of a twist on a reinvention and today’s show is HOW to reinvent.  We are talking about relationships and your marriage.  This is how to reinvent your relationship.  If you’re in a good marriage, this is reinforcement. If you are looking for a relationship, this is an excellent foundation to help you when you find that special someone. 

Dan and I have been married for 21 years, happily married I may add.  But both of us have been married before and I think that we’ve learned a lot about our- selves, about relationships, and about marriage.  

So, today we are going to talk together about getting a strong marriage and how to keep your marriage strong.

Yesterday Dan competed in the South Carolina Powerlifting competition. He totaled 1,466 pounds in the three events of squat, bench press & dead lift. I was exhausted watching him! His dedication and hard work is an inspiration to behold. It wasn't a perfect day and I watched Dan pull it out in spite of the ups & downs. It's all about the journey and the relationships you make along the way. Dan's coach, Danny, is a Gift from God for this journey!

We wore special sweatshirts that our niece got for us. The back says "Wade" and the front says, "By His Grace and For His Glory"... And that sums up Dan's quest perfectly!

Today’s guest is a special guest because this guest is my very own husband and best friend – Dan Wade. 

Dan was a senior executive at a major financial institution helping wealthy people become wealthier.  He was extremely successful but his life was unfulfilled and he knew something was missing.  

How does a financial advisor and power lifter end up living a life of service all for the glory of God? It starts when God wakes you up in the middle of the night to have a conversation with you, that’s how.  Dan shares his journey of reinvention with his career, his power lifting and most of all with his heart.

Spoiler alert- I cry at the end... there’s no crying in podcasting! ❤️
