Just one…
Just one flower can start a garden,
Just one tree can turn into a forest,
Just one match can light a fire,
Just one bed can give rest,
Just one kind word can change someones day,
Just one friend can make you believe in yourself,
Just one teacher or coach can make a lifelong impact,
Just one doctor can save a life,
Just one photographer can capture priceless memories,
Just one builder can create a home,
Just one cook can feed the hungry,
Just one hair stylist can work magic,
Just one person to stand up for a child,
Just one idea can inspire a group,
Just one group can do great things when they don't care who gets the credit
Just one life is all we have...

This weekend sports did what sports has always done…. In a time when people find it hard to come together and often struggle to see anything positive, a small town boys basketball team became more; they became a light in the darkness. They showed us that standing together is possible, even when the world tries to keep us apart.
What is a bucket friend, you may be wondering? A bucket friend is someone you confide in, share things with, let it all out, and just empty the bucket of emotions you are carrying around. They are the friend who just listens, the one who doesn't try to fix anything, doesn't give advice unless asked, and often just remind you that you aren't as crazy as you may feel.
Our coaches are some of the most important and influential people we know in our journey as young adults, and I want to thank mine for the impact they made on my life and continue to make with the life lesson they instilled along the way. Thank you Coach
The man upstairs knew that your kids and friends would need the perspective, life, and love that only you can offer. You are the most imperfect perfect mom and friend that those around you need in their life to help them grow.
It’s where I was born and raised and it’s the place I always knew I would return to,It’s my heart and it’s so good to finally be home….
Nobody likes to think about their mortality but in the past couple years, things have happened that I never thought I would see in my lifetime. A virus that shook us to our core and changed the way we live, way we think, and the way we look at the future. Everywhere I turned there was some form of heartache or illness that was plaguing people I know, young and old. Lives taken entirely too soon.
How many times in your life has someone said to you, to someone else, or you have even said to yourself, "You just have to move on."
“Do you wish you had your daughter earlier”? The never ending question the older in life Mom has to deal with.
We once formed communities because we knew we needed each other. Then, technology came along, and with the click of a button, we tried to replace those connections with convenience. The pandemic showed us that because we can literally have everything delivered to our doorstep, we still need each other and need to be connected to our communities.
We need those people who “get” us and those who can give us a firm shoulder to lean on when life is swirling around us. Our children need these communities to help them thrive and know they have a support system behind them. Small town, big city, or whatever community you claim as your own, we need each other, and our community needs us.
