I feel truly blessed to live just outside of Annapolis and have access to such an amazing Breast Center at Anne Arundel Medical Center. When I reflect on those days of going through treatment 7 years ago, I can’t help but be so proud of what we have for Breast Cancer care just minutes down […]
Friday Introductions: Wendy
Since Pinked Perspective would never function with just me, I feel the need to start introducing you to some key players behind this ministry of supporting those facing a breast cancer diagnosis. Today I am introducing you to my friend, Wendy! Many of the sweetest moments of Pinked Perspective at our Think Pink Events over […]
October Reflections from the Trail
It’s November first, it’s seventy degrees, the sun is brightly shining, and the trees are boasting that fall is actually here. Following my Thursday morning routine of Bible Study Fellowship, I can’t think of anywhere I would rather be than taking in this day with a walk on the B&A trail, the exact site of […]
Let Every Heart
There is a constant struggle I face with every advent season, and I find I am in the midst of the struggle right now. Simply stated, I am afraid I will miss it! I could blame the December birthdays in our household or the visiting of out of town family on top of the preparations […]
October Grace
If I am honest, I have mixed emotions about October. As it approaches every year, I try to brace myself for it. I brace for the struggle of it because the discouraging moments are bound to come. But in the end, I find I am bracing more for the moments that blow me away and […]
The Best is Yet to Be
On May 18th, my husband and I celebrated 14 years of marriage. This sign was given to us as a gift for our anniversary, and it now hangs in our family room next to the fireplace. It is a spot that I can see well from my “thinking chair” and lately the saying has been […]
Warrior Shana
Back in May, I enjoyed my 9th Mothers Day as a mom myself. 9! Nine! I would believe that to be complete nonsense if I didn’t have a freckled face, dimple-cheeked nine year old staring back at me everyday. The same face that looks at me like he knows infinitely more about everything in the […]
Shana’s Support Squad
To know Shana Tooley is to absolutely love her! I have loved her for the last (almost) six years since she was went above and beyond to care for the least of these, our Son as his 3’s Preschool Teacher at Asbury while his mom was dealing with diagnosis, surgery and chemotherapy for breast cancer. […]
Warrior Stef
We didn’t grow up together. We never attended the same school or church. Our kids were never in class together and never ended up on the same sports teams or in the same activities. I wish I could say we go way back, but our friendship only spans two short years. Our memories together are […]
Captivated
There was a question asked in one of my recent Bible study lessons that involved the word “captivated”. The word actually stopped me in my tracks. It was as if I was captivated by the word captivated. I desired to understand the word more fully so that I might discern if it in any way […]
I Vote for Heaven: A Tribute to Mary
Today I woke up longing for heaven. There are many days lately that I do, especially after last year’s study of the book of Revelation. The sparkling of precious stones all around…the wiping of every tear…the old order of things passing away…the One on the throne taking His rightful place. And everyone testifying to it. […]
He Knows Me
July was extraordinary. Of course, it already had some advantages being that it is summer and have I ever said how much I. LOVE. SUMMER?! Five years ago my love for summer was threatened by some hard news, the start of a rough road, and a canceled vacation. The summers since then haven’t always been easy either. […]
A Day to Grieve {A 5 Year Anniversary RePost}
One of my absolute favorite things are photos. I can be a kinda annoying about it but I have found that it is my way (sometimes my only way) of remembering a moment in time. There are so many great moments in life that I want to remember. I want to remember the joy I […]
Divine Appointment {A 5 Year Anniversary RePost}
From an article originally posted on 7/27/11…. My mammogram/sonogram was scheduled for 8:30 am and I left the house with plenty of time to get to AAMC. Blake would be leaving the house shortly after me for work so my mom was coming to watch the kids. But of course when living in Arnold and […]
Reminders From The Ceiling Tiles
Lately I have been reading Dr David Jeremiah and looking up at a few of these again. These two things take me back to a very unsettling time. Dr David Jeremiah’s book When Your World Falls Apart (along with Jesus Calling) is what I ran to in the desperate days when I first learned of […]
