And I think going to Arkansas was the catalyst for all these NEW and BIG feelings I’m … [Read more...] about Your One Wild and Precious Life

Drive-by Blogging

Your Three Words
My trip to West Palm Beach, Florida was wonderful. I can’t tell you how good it felt to take off my shoes and feel the sand against my winterized Missouri toes. A couple days were rainy but I could feel the balm of humidity on my skin. But a couple days were gorgeous and we … [Read more...] about Your Three Words
