January 6 Did you mark the arrival of the wise men today? I’m so grateful they came 12 days after Jesus was born so that by honoring them and their commitment to a brilliant, crazy, life-changing, world-changing vision, I get to soak in the beauty of this season a little longer. I pray they brought…
November 1. Such an emotional and significant day for me. Last year on this day I woke up to a new destiny. Just a few days before I had drawn a line in the sand and gave up sugar (again). After a farewell tour of sorts, binge-eating non-foods and giving my sugar-addicted inner sweetheart whatever…

I’ve stepped…
