The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club—our church family gathering for the last Sunday brunch of the year. Morning light meets grateful hearts as we come together, open to the graces waiting to be received and the blessings meant to be shared. May our time together be filled with joyful conversations, warm laughters, and thankful hearts. May our words be kind, our laughter sincere, and our fellowship, faith, and love, a quiet prayer of thanks. Nourished in body and spirit, may we carry this joy into the day ahead. Wishing you a beautiful and deeply blessed day. Happy New Year!

In a nutshell. Mood. Hump Day. Shenanigans. Not at the top of the mountain but not at the bottom either. Hanging on as always with a smile as life is for the living and no one can’t take that away from you. August as it was, thank you. A blessed and beautiful September dear ones. Make it worthy, the month of your breakthroughs. Faith is all we got; keep it alive. Much love!

A marriage of two beautiful souls. A candid, open, strong and nurturing friendship of love, respect and understanding.  A friend is quick to listen, slow to judge…
