I love to read, learn, change, and live life wholeheartedly for God.
I’ve known for a long time now that I’m actually part chameleon. It’s true. The chameleon is my “lame animal totem”. A lame animal totem is the humbling (yet hilarious) way Martha Beck uses to explain our worst tendencies. Feel like doing absolutely nothing, making no decisions, and eating a whole lot of whatever? That’s … More Taming the Chameleon
“You are the worst mom in the whole entire universe!” I hear this as a door slams in my face. And how do I get this amazing title? Is there something terrible I have done to my sweet, innocent child?
