New Mississippi Law May Force Only Abortion Clinic to Close
I always have hated the labels “pro-life” and “pro-choice” because if you were to draw their actual meanings (with none of the politics) out on a Venn Diagram, they would overlap in the middle. While I may be pro-choice, for example, that does not necessarily mean that I would immediately opt for abortion. There are [...]

The Girl Who Lived
I still remember the visit to the hospital that should have chilled me to my core. I weighed so little that I was in danger of dying in my sleep. My pulse was weak enough that my heart could just stop when it slowed during slumber.

I have the courage to lace my shoes.
I personally don’t have the courage to run a marathon. But I have
the courage to set my alarm for 6 am. I have the courage to lace my shoes. I have the courage
to go on a 3 mile training run. And that’s how you get to the finish line, by taking it one step at
a time – literally. Harry didn’t defeat Voldemort in a day. It was a journey. And he focused on
overcoming one horcrux at a time.

We can learn so much by quietly observing and loving these thoughts and ideas of ours as they unfold. Enjoy each step, each breath, and each bite you take of this life!

Setting and Achieving Fitness Goals
If there’s something I’m truly proud of, it’s not just having finished a half marathon and proving to myself what I can do, but inspiring those around me to strive for health and fitness as well. If an out of shape asthmatic can finish a half marathon, then with the correct support and a ton of hard work, others believe they can achieve their fitness goals as well.
