Blissfully Broken
Today, I am reminded they no longer control me. Maybe I am broken, but I am blissfully broken. The mind is a powerful thing. Will. I had it. I wanted to survive. I did. I endured. I prayed. God answered. I didn’t get to where I am today because this life was handed to me. […]

If you’re going to wear red, wear it boldly
Travel fills an yearning for the stories we hear and read about, creating lasting photographs within our memories. With Cessna, doors become runways leading me to places I never imagined.

Did you pay attention?
I can’t stress it enough how important it is to appreciate what you have while you have it. Life can change so quickly and we don’t even realize it. We get stuck in the routines and the daily grind that even the mundane is ever changing. And sometimes we miss those significant life changing moments. […]
