A month ago, I was feeling spiritually depleted and headed to Twitter to crowdsource a good Bible verse or book of the Bible to read to help me reconnect with God. My friend Kristi suggested Philippians and I fell in love with chapter four.

It fit perfectly with “What I’m Reading” this week which is the 52-week devotional “Choose Joy” by Brooke Taylor.

Find little ways to be better <3 

This week I'm doing something a little different. I have an interview not a guest. Back in March I and another beat reporter for the Cleveland Monsters had a chance to sit down and chat with Blake Bolden, current scout for the LA Kings, about her goals, how she's seen hockey in Cleveland grow amongst girls, and being a role model. 

At the end of the episode, I let you al know what I'm reading this week. 

I promise this i my last episode about love this season. haha

Welcome Back Friends!!!

We are kicking Season 3 off with some deep thoughts about Embracing Choices and Healing from Breakups.

I also added a little segment where I tell you what I'm reading, listening to, or watching this week!

Enjoy my loves. 

Be Kind and Love Always
