The Advent season is a time like none other! Even more fortunate for me, it comes on the heels of pink October’s and the awesome time of thankful reflection that is November. As I sit in the midst of 2020’s Advent season preparing my heart, I am looking back on a whole lot of hard. […]
First Monday…Are you Kitting Me? (November Thankfulness)
It is always hard to flip the calendar to November. I do find that October brings me incredible energy and purpose. We are confident that the victories that we experience in October are out of our hands. That is why we knew that in facing this very different October, we could trust that the support for this ministry would be ever-present. Instead […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (August Edition)
This past week we celebrated nine years since diagnosis day. For fun I looked back at my photo/video library from the days surrounding those initial days of diagnosis. I posted a video on our social media from that day July 29, 2011 sitting at the dinner table watching our littles (then 3 y.o. and 18 […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (COVID-19 edition #2)
May Day Has Come, Now it’s the First May Monday! May Day means creative basket arrangements of flowers in my beloved hometown of Annapolis, MD. May Day means Lei Day in my husband’s hometown in Hawaii. Flowers in any form are enough to bring some joy to this quarantine season. This is also about the time that I start […]
Meet the Team Tuesday: Dennis
So it’s Tuesday, that day that is so wedged in the middle for the mundane that it has become known as Simply Tuesday thanks to one of my favorite authors, Emily P. Freeman. (A wonderful read by the way!) Does Tuesday look different since quarantine or does every other day just feel more like Tuesday […]
Shabbat
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:28-29 In some of the internet circles I pay attention to, it is […]
Reminders from the Ceiling Tiles (RePost)
I feel truly blessed to live just outside of Annapolis and have access to such an amazing Breast Center at Anne Arundel Medical Center. When I reflect on those days of going through treatment 7 years ago, I can’t help but be so proud of what we have for Breast Cancer care just minutes down […]
Friday Introductions: Wendy
Since Pinked Perspective would never function with just me, I feel the need to start introducing you to some key players behind this ministry of supporting those facing a breast cancer diagnosis. Today I am introducing you to my friend, Wendy! Many of the sweetest moments of Pinked Perspective at our Think Pink Events over […]
Let Every Heart
There is a constant struggle I face with every advent season, and I find I am in the midst of the struggle right now. Simply stated, I am afraid I will miss it! I could blame the December birthdays in our household or the visiting of out of town family on top of the preparations […]
October Grace
If I am honest, I have mixed emotions about October. As it approaches every year, I try to brace myself for it. I brace for the struggle of it because the discouraging moments are bound to come. But in the end, I find I am bracing more for the moments that blow me away and […]
The Best is Yet to Be
On May 18th, my husband and I celebrated 14 years of marriage. This sign was given to us as a gift for our anniversary, and it now hangs in our family room next to the fireplace. It is a spot that I can see well from my “thinking chair” and lately the saying has been […]
Warrior Shana
Back in May, I enjoyed my 9th Mothers Day as a mom myself. 9! Nine! I would believe that to be complete nonsense if I didn’t have a freckled face, dimple-cheeked nine year old staring back at me everyday. The same face that looks at me like he knows infinitely more about everything in the […]
Merry Christmas from Pinked Perspective
With every event that we planned this year whether it was Relay for Life in early summer, an unbelievable 5 year anniversary fundraiser at Neo in Annapolis in July or the 4th annual Think Pink Family Fun Walk in October, I hoped that each would have an obvious element of celebration to them. The raising […]
I Vote for Heaven: A Tribute to Mary
Today I woke up longing for heaven. There are many days lately that I do, especially after last year’s study of the book of Revelation. The sparkling of precious stones all around…the wiping of every tear…the old order of things passing away…the One on the throne taking His rightful place. And everyone testifying to it. […]
