Sister Party

My sisters and I have a tradition. We often get together and spend quality time doing things that we like. We truly are best friends. As our "end of the year get together", we decided to do a nail party. We had a blast for a blessed four hours. Pizza, wings, lattes and lots of music and heartfelt laughter. Hopefully we were not getting high on the acetone. Talk about a girls night out!
Me - least likely to do something crazy with my polish!
Lisa - The most likely to have a plethera of nailcare essentials.
Rose - The author and the hostess for our sister events.

I have made similar goals in the past and have yet to complete them 100%. However, my only competition is against myself, so I guess I earn the "Most Improved" award in this category.


I love non-fiction books and self-help. I read a lot from christian authors and I am an author myself. I have been told that better readers are better writers. Let's hope that is true! So with no further ado, here is my list:
1. Returning to Holiness by Gregory R. Frizzell

I started 2016 with fasting and prayer, personal repentance and what I like to call a Spiritual Retreat. I retreated away from family, social media and work to press into a time of refreshing from the Lord with this book. Needless to say....it WRECKED m whole life! The soul-searching questions were just what I needed to plunge deep into the reasons behind my actions, my motivations and my fears. E…
