I wrote this over a month ago. It took me this long to feel ready to post it. A month later and my house barely remembers his visit.
I like to believe that in a few more months like this…my life will feel just as wiped clean of his memory.
A week ago he walked into my house and with his words, attempted to tear it all down. Brick by brick, the words flew and the foundation … » Read More

My spiritual beliefs are pretty simple. Jesus is Lord. And it impacts every single thing that I do, big or small…simple or complicated. You know how at the end of The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy turns to the Scarecrow and says: “I think I’ll miss you most of all”? Well, I think my walk with Jesus impacts my love life most of all.
God has saved me from toxic, damaging relationships. He has protected me from … » Read More

It’s been almost exactly a year since I posted my last #30DayBloggingChallenge blog. I actually wrote this a year ago and wasn’t brave enough to post it. Since I wrote this blog, I have actually had this final conversation of closure with this person, who many of you will recognize from my latest book I’ve Never Been to Vegas but My Luggage Has. I’ll save that final conversation for another day…but for now, here’s what … » Read More

Because we’ve all gotten over someone JUST to have them return to our lives…
Because we’ve all had that ex that we just can’t quite get over…
Because true love has a habit of coming back…
Here’s an excerpt from my latest book I’ve Never Been to Vegas but My Luggage Has: Mishaps & Miracles on the Road to Happily Ever After:
In April of 2011, I finally at long last closed the door on my long-suffering relationship with “Mr. … » Read More

I’ve been on a bit of a “hiatus” for the past three months and I thought maybe it was time to explain myself.
Some of you may have noticed I haven’t been tweeting or blogging or posting on social media in general as much (or at all. My blog sadly hasn’t been updated since March until today and my Facebook page went largely neglected as well). Some of you might not have missed me at all. … » Read More

My new book I’ve Never Been to Vegas But My Luggage Has: Mishaps & Miracles on the Road to Happily Ever After came out on March 11th…and I can honestly say I’ve never been prouder of anything I’ve written in my life. It’s bold. It’s raw. It’s REAL. It’s my story, uncensored. And I honestly think it’s a story that all women, single or not, will find glimpses of themselves in.
The #1 message I wanted … » Read More

You know that moment right before Christmas Eve turns into Christmas morning? Or the night before you leave for vacation? Or the split second before you open a birthday gift you’ve been patiently waiting to open for weeks and though you can’t wait to see if it’s that thing you’ve been wanting for so long…a small part of you wants to hit the “pause” button and stay suspended in that moment between what could be … » Read More

“There weren’t perfect people, nor were there perfect lives or perfect relationships. There were, however, perfect moments. And this was one of them.” ~Nicole Williams
I’m a big fan of Hollywood moments. Those moments that feel so special and so magical, however fleeting they may be, you can think of nothing else to compare them to but a movie. I think because I’m such a fan of these moments, I often attract them into my life … » Read More

The Question
Dear Daniel & Mandy: I’ve been talking to this guy for just a week now. I’m in my early 20′s and he’s almost 30. Things have been going well and we enjoy each other’s company. Recently he let me know that he’s divorced. The divorce was finalized a couple of years ago. Basically he got married in his early 20′s and realized it was a mistake (the divorce was his choice). We didn’t get … » Read More

Life doesn’t always look the way we want it to look. In Mandy’s upcoming book, Turn Toward the Sun: Releasing What If and Embracing What Is, you’ll find encouragement to live in the moment, sit with your experiences, and trust God with the unknown.
