White Picket Fence

White. Picket. Fence. What is the first thought that comes to mind? Perhaps that it’s a symbol of the “American Dream.” What is your “white picket fence?” Is it a house on a hill with lines of laundry drying in the sunshine? Is it a Manhattan apartment with Wall Street always on your mind? For me, it’s a journey. My “white picket fence” has been a lifetime of seemingly small decisions, yet each one created a picket surrounding my life. Deciding not to give in to peer pressure during my teen years, moving out on my own, working at a Children’s Hospital, marrying a man who is everything I could have hoped for, having children and being a woman of character are just a few decisions that have made me who I am and my life what it is. Sure, challenges come and stress happens, but it’s the everyday choice you make on how to handle it that makes a difference.


So here I am with a new adventure on the horizon…Sicily, Italy! I’m picking up my fence and taking it on the road! We will navigate through twists and turns with wide eyes and open minds. There is no doubt that excitement will be around every corner! Join me as I continue hammering pickets as wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend, doing my best to live with integrity and demonstrating love. Experiencing life lessons, God’s abounding grace, and life lived abundantly everyday in the journey of the Traveling White Picket Fence.
