Encouraging and equipping women over 60 to live their best life!
I want to make something very clear right up front: I am not a Grinch. I promise. I love Christmas. I really do. The lights, the memories, the meaning—all of it. It’s all so rich and happy making. But after more than 30 years of doing all the things, I have officially joined what I lovingly…

Do you ponder the question what happens when you die? Today, I am diving into answering this question. If you are a regular reader of my posts, or a listener to my podcast, you know I have been doing a series on Mindset Shifts from a Christian perspective. With Easter in mind, I wanted to…
