Just a little about me

I'm writing this blog to help me process life and the lessons that I am learning on this journey.  I am not a writer but a sporadic journaler.  In this crazy, wound-up, busy, 10-second sound bite world, my soul craves authenticity, self-reflection, connection, and meaning in life and relationships.  I am learning that writing helps me to pause, think, and reflect on all the things going on in my life.  

Now to a few things about me:

• I've been happily married to my husband, Deane for 16 years. God knew what He was doing when He made Deane for me.  

• Meyers Briggs Personality: ENFJ 

*Slight caveat:  I am an extrovert with introvert tendencies. I would describe it as the following: love people, parties, talking, etc and gain strength from being with people, but I also enjoy time alone to recharge and reflect.

• Occupation: Assessment Specialist for a school division in Virginia

• Favorites - not in any particular order:  Chocolate, the color green (all shades), black eyeliner, reading, perfume, peace that is only found in Jesus, purses, card making, prayer, 80's music, pizza

• Dislikes - not in any particular order: fish (especially Salmon), phony people, traffic (NOVA traffic is horrific), Satan and the effects of sin, anxiety and fear

My goal for this to be a place where you'll find glimpses of real life, joy, Christ centered spiritual disciplines & practices and other anecdotal things thrown in along the way.

Thank you for joining me along the way.  Please comment, I'd love to hear from you.
