Winter is (hopefully) on its way out here in Minnesota even though there is still a foot of snow on the ground and it is mid-April.

I was promised constellations and blessings beyond measure. But I had to leave what I was taught in order to receive. God didn't just heal my body after you were born, but began healing generations.

In January, I shared that I combined my love for planning and saving money by creating 15 Chinook Book Dates we could try throughout the year.

Only a few weeks ago, I was talking with my sister-in-law Abby about writing and reading. I made the discovery that I have never really tried my hand at writing fiction, but I loved to read fiction. I also love to read non-fiction. And when I wrote, it was much easier to write about something... Continue Reading →
After Ben studied in Nashville during the fall of 2011, he and some of his friends began an online group called The Weekly Circle. It was a place to encourage and motivate one another in their song writing with a weekly theme and deadline. Ben has "revamped" the group this past week to include song-writers... Continue Reading →
