              I think I probably tell this story once every few years but given all the drama in the election there were some things that were brought up, and again I found myself needing to share our story again.             I grew up in a small Ohio town in what is considered the heart of Ohio.   I don’t remember ever thinking about Canada much as a kid, nor realizing that the Southern border was 3 hours north of my childhood home.   I do remember my father going up there once on business and bring back money that looked fake and thinking how cool it was.             Many of you have heard the funny story of how I met my amazing super awesome husband.   It’s really a long story but to make it short: I was dating a different man in college at OSU, he decided to move to Pittsburgh t...

Hello Awesome People,   On today's Real Solutions I interviewed Milam Byers with Food For The Hungry.  I learned about this awesome organization when 'Third Day' came into town for a concert and I ended up volunteering to help them. Third Day tours with Food For The Hungry.  I was put on the Food For The Hungry team to help them get their children sponsored.  I started talking with the guy in charge of that part of the event and found out he was Jared Byers who was the drummer for Audio Adrenaline for a lot of years and has also been in some other well-known bands.  Milam is Jared's brother who works with Food For The Hungry directly and also has a lot of known music years behind him.   This is an amazing organization.  I feel like it was a divine appointment that I was able to meet them all.  Watch the interview and get involved.  The unique thing about 'Food For The Hungry' is that they believe in bringing life to the communities t...

              I want to share something that’s been on my heart lately and perhaps on the eve of America’s most historical election it seems like an odd time to share it, but I feel like I need to. Ronald Reagan once said, “ Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”             Twenty years ago, give or take a few, when I was in high school/college.   It was a different world.   Sure the older folks complained about us whipper snappers, but innocence didn’t seem lost.   I remember when Ellen came out of the closet she was shunned and put off the air.   I remember I saw a drug deal once in high school.   In college (Ohio State University) I took a Human Sexuality class because it fulfilled ...

Hello :-) Today for Real Solutions I reaired the election episode with Pastor JC Church.  If you haven't seen it then please check it out here.  https://youtu.be/XsHoB-nEQy4 Yesterday our Pastors shared this message from Mike Pence in our church  https://youtu.be/oUkdvxqCKtg  I think many needed to hear this. For the many who have said to me they just aren't sure they can vote for Trump but know they can't vote for Hillary. . .I wanted to share that video.  I don't believe either canidate is perfect, but I do believe Trump is surrounding himself with people I can get behind.  Pence is a precious man of God who has stood up for righteousness within our government at many times.   If you are an American please make sure if you haven't early voted that you vote tomorrow.  If you are not an American then please pray for our country.  America is standing at a crossroads. Remember God has awesome plans for your life.  So yo...
