I plan to devote this blog primarily to sharing my journey of keeping my life with my husband simple and fun, and focused on making as many positive memories as we possibly can! I have been very caught up, the last few years, in trying to "find" my "purpose"- and have devoted large amounts of time and money in that pursuit- and am coming back around with a strong sense that the only thing I should be doing at this time in my life is living each day WITH purpose, and enjoying the life I have.
My husband and I have been married for nearly 17 years (in April). He is a 6+ year survivor of an aggressive form of early prostate cancer. He has taken radical steps with diet and supplementation, and is LIVING proof that what you put in does make a difference! In fact, we had one doctor tell us that he was surprised to even see him still alive. We refuse to accept defeat- and we appreciate all prayers! Instead, we plan to travel and enjoy life together. Stay "posted"!
UPDATE: We are attempting to raise funds to help get George to a

I'm just out making quick visits and I wanted to come by and say Howdy! My prayers & thoughts are with you both! 
I have come by and done some reading. George will be added to my prayer list, as will you. Blessings, 
Today's Stepping Stone is Do What Matters Today. This chapter was a bit revelational to me. (duh!) I am always looking for the ONE BIG THING I'm supposed to be doing. She points out that what we are supposed to be doing is whatever it is that we are supposed to be doing each and every day- our "to-do" list! And that as we go about our daily routines and particpate in the life we are in NOW, God will begin to shape and mold, and reveal His ultimate purpose to us. This was actually a huge relief to me, because this is what I'm instinctively wanting to do, and now feel that I have "permission" to continue on this path!
One thing that she recommended was to consider your most important roles and priortize them in your mind, heart, and schedule:
Can you answer these?? I am still working on this. I'd love to hear you share!
She also cautions to take good care of OURSELVES- something women tend to always put last. She states "If you are going the distance for God, you must take care of the physical temple in which you live. Ask yourself, 'Am I exercising, eating right, getting enough rest, drinking enough water, and enjoying laughter breaks?' If not, what three things will you do to improve your self-care during the next thirty days?" I thought this was a great goal for a new year!
On this note- how many of you "out there" (girls, this is for you):
