Recently I met with a mentor of mine. When I asked him his advice for parenting, his response surprised me. “Make sure Yes is said more than NO.” I asked him to explain what he meant. “Our children hear no too often and many times its for selfish reasons on our part: we are tired, [...]
Who YOU Really Are
By Karissa Meador Recently I was in a little vintage store in Monroe, WA. I ran across a picture of two birds, with the saying, “It takes courage to grow up and become who YOU really are.” This quote resonated with me long after I left the store. We so often let the expectations of [...]

If you don’t do regular checkups and maintenance, overtime it will become a liability. Our greatest asset is our marriage. And [...]
