I am Raising Warrior Moms

Yesterday I was there to witness the birth of my grandson, Holland Maitland Jessop.  My daughter, his mom, is a warrior!  Her labors and deliveries are much faster than mine ever were.  She really "labored" all day in what experts call pre-labor.  It is a labor that is uncomfortable, makes you super tired, and moves… Continue reading I am Raising Warrior Moms

Look Beyond What You See

I have been living and breathing the story of Lion King over the past few months.  I had the honor of directing Lion King Jr at a local school.  I cherished the opportunity to bring to life one of my favorite stories... a story full of symbolism and meaning... a story that strengthens my faith.… Continue reading Look Beyond What You See
