I’m Allowed to Change My Mind

by Leave a Comment

There are opinions I once held very strongly that I don’t agree with anymore. There are things I once said I would never do that I eventually did. There are people I misunderstood, situations I judged too quickly, goals I stopped wanting, and beliefs about life that made perfect sense to me at one ... READ the POST

I don’t agree with every version of myself I’ve ever been, and I’m finally okay with that. Life teaches us things we couldn’t have known ten or twenty years ago.

My Definition of a Good Day Has Changed

by Leave a Comment

When I was younger, a good day usually meant something happened. There was somewhere to go, something to buy, someone to see, or something exciting enough to make the day feel different from all the others. A good weekend needed plans. A good vacation needed activities. A good birthday needed to ... READ the POST

The older I get, the more my definition of a “good day” has changed. I don’t need something exciting to happen anymore.

If you’ve ever heard the news that someone who always seemed happy was struggling with depression or committed suicide, you probably had the same reaction many of us do: “I had no idea.” It’s one of the most heartbreaking realities of life. The people who laugh the loudest, encourage everyone ... READ the POST

When McDonald’s Monopoly Ends and Your Freebies Run Out: Faith, Fries, Kiosk Tricks, and a Few Hard Lessons

by Leave a Comment

Today marks the official end of the McDonald’s Monopoly game (redeeming the codes and free food from the game, specifically), and honestly, I feel like we should all gather in a circle and share our best memories. Because this year’s game was an experience. A journey. A season of fries, surprises, ... READ the POST

As McDonald’s Monopoly wraps up today, I found myself thinking about the unexpected ways God provides. This little game fed so many people who were struggling, brought moments of joy, and even taught me a few lessons along the way.
