If there was one thing for certain growing up it was that our family would ALWAYS have something to do. There was no such thing as “sleeping in.” School was all week, cleaning was on Saturday, church on Sunday. Somewhere in there were family functions and more church services to attend. It’s safe to say the foundation of my life was a whole lot of ripping and running as my father says, “We can’t let grass grow under our feet!” I carried out this way of living through much of my adulthood. It left me feeling very anxious, tired and completely drained coming face to face with burnout on several occasions.

I literally can not believe we have been dealing with this pandemic for a year now. I felt it was only right to share my year with you, here we go!

March 12th 2020, was the last day I wore a full face of make-up, commute to work, or be in a office. A week or two into working from home, I set up my home office by the way it has changed so much since March. My life turned into scheduled out grocery store runs talk about a new way of life.

If you are like me, you may or may not be familiar with the story of Moses. His life story lends to one full of disappointment, hurt and rejection. After an order was made by the Egyptian ruler Pharaoh to kill all Hebrew boys. Moses’ mother hid him and sent him down the Nile river. Being seen, adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter, Moses lived a royal life. Years later Moses escapes has an encounter with an angel of God who speaks to him to demand the Israelites to be released from slavery.

For a long time I didn’t know how important peace was in my life. Over the past couple of years it has been a struggle to keep peace as a priority in my life. When I moved to Dallas a few years ago I realized that peace is priceless. There is no price tag for peace.
