While this is our First Monday Labor Day edition, admitting it’s September is not easy. Summer came and went much too fast. So fast that we are going to try to hold onto summer all the way into October if we can. That may or may not be a hint at what to expect with […]
Last Monday of Summer…Are You Kitting Me?
Yes we are a few Monday’s late with our First Monday…Are You Kitting Me update. Honestly, I have been a little busy holding onto summer with all I’ve got and hoping to enjoy more moments like the one in the background photo above. That was one short summer, can I get an “Amen”. I guess […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me (April 2022)
Happy April! We are looking forward to Passion Week next week. Not sure about anyone else but March was an absolute blur. It was exciting in that March 10th marked my last day of taking hormone therapy, Tamoxifen after being on it for ten years. It is definitely a milestone on my journey. It hasn’t felt […]
Third Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (November Thankfulness)
With the flip of the calendar to November and already to the 3rd Monday of November, I realize how hard it has been to catch up since our event. I always find that October brings me incredible energy and purpose, and this October of 2021 was no different! It was really fun to try something different this year with our Family […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (Labor Day 2021 Edition)
I arrived back home to the states from my extended stay in Aruba on August 4th. Although there was much disappointment around missing out on a special 10 year anniversary dinner with my toes in the sand and a snorkel cruise in that amazing blue water on our last two scheduled days, I am able […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (May 2021)
“Because God delights in us entering into the fray of this world, to bring light, beauty, and truth and to stand strongly and boldly for His purposes, He sends us trials and training to prepare us for the platform He would have us stand on.” ~Sally Clarkson I was reminded several different times this week […]
First Monday…Are you Kitting Me? (November Thankfulness)
It is always hard to flip the calendar to November. I do find that October brings me incredible energy and purpose. We are confident that the victories that we experience in October are out of our hands. That is why we knew that in facing this very different October, we could trust that the support for this ministry would be ever-present. Instead […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me (October is Here Edition!
October 2020 is here! And that means…we are one month closer to saying goodbye to this unforgettable year. It also means we get to take some time to celebrate the Pink Warriors who power through their illness so bravely. Global pandemic or not, you can’t mask a warrior’s courage. We all know this an October […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (September Edition)
September often feels like a new year. Kids are going back to school, summer comes to an end and work schedules become more regulated. September 2020 seems to be the beginning of our “new normal”. In the spring we found COVID-19 scary, confusing and thought to be short-term; in the summer we tolerated restrictions on […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (COVID-19 edition #2)
May Day Has Come, Now it’s the First May Monday! May Day means creative basket arrangements of flowers in my beloved hometown of Annapolis, MD. May Day means Lei Day in my husband’s hometown in Hawaii. Flowers in any form are enough to bring some joy to this quarantine season. This is also about the time that I start […]
First Monday…Are you Kitting Me? (November Thankfulness)
As we flip the calendar to another November, my heart aches a little bit. It is in October that this girl finds incredible energy and purpose. That does not mean it is without struggle. But in all faithfulness, The Lord continues to meet me in the struggle and whispers “Finish the Fight”. Whether it is […]
First Monday…Are you Kitting me? (and Happy Labor Day!)
This past week, I celebrated my 42nd Birthday. I should be so excited to celebrate another year of life and health, but lately birthday’s have become tricky for me. I don’t love to feel (and look) older, I hate for summer to slip away, I worry that Fall means another start to running so fast […]

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 […]
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 […]
