    Swing 44: My Hank Aaron Year Begins

    I’ve always known there was something about 44. Not just the number. The weight. The meaning. The symmetry of it all. Twenty-two doubled. Two fours standing side by side. Forty with something extra. A woman with history, now adding power. This year, I’m not just turning 44. I’m swinging 44 with faith, intention, and legacy…

    From 43 to 44:

    The Windup and the Pitch Chapter 43 didn’t play fair—but God stayed faithful. This chapter asked me to release what was familiar before I could fully see what was next. It stretched my faith, challenged my plans, and required me to keep moving even when the path looked nothing like the one I had carefully…

    Time is precious

    Time is something we can never get back, which is why we should value it and be intentional about how we use it. The older I get, the more I understand the true value of my time. We all have responsibilities. We work, run businesses, care for our families, and do what is necessary to…

    Let me share my journey…

    Being a mom to these two amazing creatures has stretched me beyond limits I didn’t even know I had. Motherhood has also forced me to make difficult decisions—decisions that, at the time, I made because of them. More and more every day, I see that those choices have helped all of us become happier.
