When I work with individuals and families, I talk a lot about attachment. It’s the foundation for how we navigate life. Everybody’s goal should be to achieve earned secure attachment—the capacity to give care, receive care, negotiate needs, and be ok with autonomous self. Personally, I’ve been working very hard on this for a veryContinue reading “Earned secure”

A Moment in Time
Do you find yourself in the same place week after week with your child? “I’m tired of the way they make me feel like I’m a ___.” (Fill in the blank.) The struggle is not with your child; it’s with you. Hard words—but nobody can make you feel anything. What you’re hearing is an echo—anContinue reading “A Moment in Time”
Intimacy with Him
“I see your blushing cheeks opened like the halves of a pomegranate shown through your veil of tender meekness. When I look at you, I see your inner strength so stately and strong you are secure as David’s fortress your virtues and grace to cause 1000 famous soldiers to surrender to your beauty. Your pureContinue reading “Intimacy with Him”
There is a season for everything under the sun.
I’d love to tell you about a family. There is a lot of extended family involved, but in this case, it’s a grandma raising her grandson. It’s a hard story. When I met them, Grandma was preparing to have her grandson come live with her full-time. I began teaching her TBRI® before he moved in.Continue reading “There is a season for everything under the sun.”
Oil of Joy
There was a season in my life when everything felt unbearably hard. The world I thought I knew was crumbling—truths I had clung to proved false, and all I could see was emptiness. Beauty seemed lost to me. I was drowning in pain, unable to move beyond what I was facing. One day, someone prayedContinue reading “Oil of Joy”
The Fruit
Jesus, in Luke 22:17–18, shares with His disciples that His time with them is drawing to a close, saying He will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes. This statement points to a future fulfillment and underscores the significance of the moment. The “fruit of the vine” symbolizesContinue reading “The Fruit”
The Longing
There is a place of learning, a quiet walk in the Spirit, where unconditional love—love only He can give—becomes the air you breathe. In that sacred stillness, questions rise: What does it mean to be truly known? What does intimacy with Him, my creator, look like? It is more than words, more than ritual. ItContinue reading “The Longing”
Healing Families
To some, this may seem insignificant, but for this mama, it was deeply meaningful. She wondered why her nonverbal autistic son would get out of the bathtub just to check where she was, then return to the water. Up until this point, she had never left him alone—she always stayed with him while he bathed.Continue reading “Healing Families”
Running the Race
My longtime mentor and teacher, Sandy with Sight Ministries at the Vineyard in Grafton, explained to me that the human experience is an event with spectators, where you are the only person on the field. There is nobody with you and nobody against you—it’s just you. Every person you cross paths with in your lifeContinue reading “Running the Race”
A cup of cold water
Jesus came to bring “The Way.” He walked through every step that we will walk through as humans. He loved, He laughed, He cried—and in the end, He followed the Father’s heart for humanity. Jesus came because The Way of love needed to be laid. There is so much in time and history that weContinue reading “A cup of cold water”
