New podcast episode is out today! It’s a solo episode where I talk about how to have peace in this pandemic. It’s not necessarily easy, but it is possible!

What has helped you to have peace over the last few months?

Swipe over for a quote that has been a good reminder to me. (Not sure where it came from, saw it on a sign at Hobby Lobby.) You can also screenshot it in my stories and use it as a lock screen on your phone.

Just a reminder for your Monday. 💕

Happy Birthday, America! 🇺🇸 This year feels

Happy Birthday, America! 🇺🇸

This year feels different, surreal almost with all that is going on in the world. Our country feels divided on so many things. I pray that instead of being divided, we will be united and overcome with love for you and for our fellow citizens because we believe in you and are grateful to live in this great nation.

Despite your imperfections and parts of your history that we wish were different, I still love you and am thankful I was born here. I do not take it for granted, not for a single minute.

Having lived in three countries abroad and visited nearly 15 others, I’ve had the blessing of perspective, to see that despite its imperfections, America still stands as a symbol of freedom and opportunity in the world. People want to live here because you can become anything you want to, you can rise above your circumstances, and make a better life for your family. My family is living proof: on my dad’s side some of my ancestors came from Mexico in the 1800s. In that line, I am a fifth generation American and have seen generations of my family work hard and make a good life here.

While I lived in Israel I learned that military service is required of each citizen. In America, brave men and women serve not because they are required to, but because they believe so strongly in defending life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for our citizens. Military service is a proud part of my family’s story. I am an Army granddaughter, an Air Force daughter and niece, and a Navy sister. I honor and cherish all who serve and their families, who sacrifice and serve as well.

America, you are truly the land that I love. I will do my best to uphold the values you’ve given me, stand for liberty and truth, and pursue the opportunity you provide me. May we leave you a better place for our children and our children’s children. May we learn to disagree with love and respect. May we learn to celebrate our differences and work together well. May we come out of this challenging season in humility and with a desire to be united, not divided. May God heal our land!

I’m proud to be an American, today and always. Happy birthday, America, I love you so! ❤️🤍💙
