STILL LOLO review

Sometimes you enter a day and you just dont feel like your self, or someone tells you that you are not acting like yourself. The book Still Lolo by Lauren Scruggs and family is about the journey of a young lady who in one fun instance her whole life changed.

Lauren was a normal run of the mill student who was working super hard to have her dreams come true. Like many people, when things are going well you sometimes drift from your beliefs and dont keep them as centerfold. Lauren had realized she was drifting found her way back and then it hit her.
Lauren was visiting a friend during the Christmas season and her whole life changed.

This book covers the highs and lows of the journey Lauren has taken over the past year which includes a visit to a hospital, learning things she already knew, coming to know that she will never be the same but can still be amazing, and family. I would highly recommend this book to athletes, dreamers, Christians that think they are the only ones that push away when things get hard, and someone who wants to know that lessons are learned when things get tough.

*** I am reviewing this book for Tyndale House Publishers and was provided with a free copy of the book****

Book can be found on Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, Lifeway Christian stores and so many more.

LIFE: Camp

I have had an awful lot of un published blogs lately. These blogs come from deep routed feelings that have surfaced this year due to one thing or another. Maybe some day these blogs will be unearthed but for today, this blog needed to be written while it was still raw. I have very vague memories of third or forth grade summer camp at Alto Frio, where I met Nana Pudding ( a christian puppet) and went pogging for the first time in a river. Summer after sixth grade, I got in church vans and headed to Louisiana for the first time to attend Student Life Camp, then proceeded to go to Angelo State University and Glorieta New Mexico a few times. I spent time serving during spring breaks at Riverbend Retreat Center which lead to an internship over the summer. The week that "Curtis" and I first really got to know each other, we were at Glorieta for Centrifuge camp. Camp is a special place for me. Camp is a happy place for me. In 2018, I was able to experience camp through new eyes

LIFE: Processing the Unknown

In the 90's, television and books portrayed the family with 2.5 children and a house with a two car garage where dad worked outside of the home and mom had dinner ready in the evenings. The show would continue with grandma and grandpa popping in for a visit or a trip to their house. My 90's family did not have this imagery- and that's okay. I grew up with divorced parents, and the parents I lived with full time both were from countries other than the US- meaning aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents all still lived in their respective native land. This meant that I did not necessarily have the same visitation schedule as families who all live in the same city, state, or country. I know from pictures that the first time that my Nana ( my dads mom) Sheila, from England, came to visit was the spring after I was born. I have pictures of myself in a stroller with my Nana below the Tower of Americas. The next time I would get the opportunity to be with my grandmother was arou

REVIEW: You Can Do This by Tricia Lott Williford

Tricia and her book baby {necessary information} I received this book from the author as a part of the launch team for free. The opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone and not those of the author or publisher. {review: You Can Do This } Tricia is a clear and concise writer detailing some hurtful and raw points in her life. Through every chapter there is a reflection assignment to help you work through the tough spots in your life and find the confidence in Him to work through them. She sprinkles quotes from strong famous people, as well as strong Biblical truths. In chapter 5 she reminds you that the comment section does not have the right to get you down. On page 62, Tricias therapist reminds us that, " Everybody has a chapter of their life they don't read out loud." She introduced me to 6 word stories- which I am very excited to give a try. In chapter 9 she introduces us to her second love story. "No for now isn't no forever"!!!! Every cha
