A New Opportunity
I started blogging in 2006 out of loneliness. My family moved from Houston to a small town in New Mexico and one night I was completely overwhelmed by the fact that we actually moved! It was a good thing, but a little shocking because it happened in such a short...
Happy Half Year!
January 1, 2017…I had such big plans. I was going to embrace my One Word, "change," and really make a difference in my life. By the summer I would have lost at least 20 pounds, been going to the gym regularly, having a daily prayer life and been employed full-time. ...
Going for it
Calling. It's a word that people associate with being called into ministry. We are all called to different things. Teaching, speaking, writing, counseling, parenting…there are so many things. I don't think we are called to only one thing in life. I've had two,...
Happy Birthday
There are some days in your life that stay with you. You relive them as if they just happened. June 23, 1996 is a day that stays with me. It was the day my firstborn came into the world. Throughout the night, I kept getting up to go to the bathroom. And when Joe and I...

Spontaneous?
One word that definitely does not describe me is "spontaneous." I like to have a plan. Even on vacations I like to have a plan. But sometimes being spontaneous is exactly what needs to happen. This evening I messaged a friend to check in with her. I wrote to her,...
Hindsight
Whenever I have the chance to say my brother's name, either aloud or on paper, I say it, "Ronaldo Julian Campos was born on May 23, 1962. He lived for five days and suffered a bleed in his brain. He had hemophilia.I still wonder how it is that I feel...
He is always with me
Doing the next right thing is hard. Alcoholics use the mantra when they want nothing more than to take a drink that leads to another and another. An overeater will use it when they want that one cookie that leads to the entire bag. And when you suffer from...
