Worry Less, Love More. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Today is my half-birthday.

WE SUBMITTED OUR APPLICATION TO OUR AGENCY! Yes folks, this is really happening! Ready or not, here we are! It's really the...

Worry Less, Love More: What now?
http://www.worrylesslovemore.com/2015/06/what-now.html
Worry Less, Love More. Monday, June 22, 2015. Now that I've shared with you stories of what has led us to this point in our lives, you may be wondering where we are actually at in our journey. After planning for many years to grow a family via international adoption, it was surprising to me that the meeting we attended actually pushed our hearts away from that path. We left the meeting wondering whether international adoption was right for us - not just at that current time, but ever. There are SO MANY t...

Worry Less, Love More. Sunday, August 16, 2015. It has now been nearly three weeks since we began our fundraising journey.

While our fundraising mission has only just begun, I am so encouraged and energized by how many people have offered us their time, their pop cans, trailers, tables, clothing racks, prayers, facebook shares, and more. One neighb...
