WELCOME TO THE JOURNAL
As a young girl, I kept a journal and then when Stephen and I got married, we wrote our vows into a journal we shared as a couple. On this lil’ corner of the internet, I want to invite you into our virtual journal’s stories and musings. I hope you’ll find encouragement and inspiration along the way.

Just start.Just do the next thing. The underlined words jumped out at me from that dear old book. Actually, it isn’t an old book. But it’s that type of beloved book you keep
The lipstick is on.Coffee partially steaming, kind of. Chopin is playing his masterpieces once again in my living room. So, we’ve moved. It’s almost been a month. Today is just me saying, hi. I’m alive
