Last year, for the first time, I joined my church on a 21 day fast. I chose to do a Daniel Fast – which means essentially keeping a vegan diet and eating no processed foods. It was a great time of prayer and really allowed me to reset and focus on drawing closer to God. You […]
Goals for a New Year
Happy New Year! I love celebrations and New Year’s is no different! I don’t really do New Year’s Resolutions but I do believe in goal setting. Here are some of my 2014 goals: Put God first.

Day 1 of the Fast

Between finishing up my old job, preparing to start my new one, embracing a couple days as a “lady who lunches” and travelling to Virginia Beach, I’ve been oh so busy (go ahead and insert sarcasm here!) Virginia Beach was absolutely wonderful. I went for the […]

Perspective
Recently, I was walking down P Street NW, near the Logan Circle Whole Foods and was reminded of a few years back, before I lived in the District, when I accidentally stumbled upon the Whole Foods while driving once. The neighborhood was so foreign to me then and now it looks completely different. The actual […]
