Hey sis, you better walk into that room like God sent you.
Not timid. Not questioning. Not shrinking back.

You’re not there by accident… you’re there on assignment.

God didn’t anoint you to hide, He anointed you to stand.
To speak. To carry His presence into places that need light.

Stop second-guessing what Heaven already confirmed.

When you walk in, walk with authority.
When you speak, speak with conviction.
When you show up, show up as a daughter who knows who sent her.

Because you’re not just entering a room… you’re shifting atmospheres.

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because He has anointed me…” Luke 4:18

and

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear,
but of power, love, and a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7

Sis, you don’t need permission. You already have His presence.

Congratulations! U.S. Coast Guard Boatswain's Mate 3rd Class Logan Boyd was named the 2025 USO Coast Guardsman of the Year for his actions in Destin, Florida. On July 19, 2024, Boyd and his crew at Coast Guard Station Destin responded to a report of a drowning victim at Norriego Point Public Beach Access. Upon arrival, they found a family member holding an unresponsive 11-month-old infant girl who had been discovered face down in the water.

Boyd immediately took over CPR on the shore while gathering information from the family and bystanders. He continued performing life-saving efforts aboard the Coast Guard boat and at the station. With support from his crew and training, these actions helped successfully resuscitate the child. The infant and parents were then transferred to emergency medical services via medical transport helicopter.

Originally from Sunbury, Ohio, Boyd credits his team for the positive outcome. “I am extremely grateful we were there to help,” he said. His dedication reflects the everyday readiness of Coast Guard members serving their communities.

This April, I’m riding with purpose.

As a Semi-Finalist for Ms. Veteran America 2026, I’m hosting Pedal with a Purpose—a virtual 10K cycling event supporting Final Salute Inc., which helps end homelessness for women veterans and their children.

This is more than miles—it’s movement.
Every ride honors a woman who served and now deserves stability, dignity, and a place to call home.

Ride anywhere, anytime—indoors, outdoors, solo, or with a group. Just ride with intention.

If you can’t ride, you can still make an impact: donate, share, and help amplify this mission.

Let’s make this visible. Let’s show women veterans they are not alone.
Together, we turn awareness into action.

U.S. Coast Guard — my people out there being heroic! God bless them!

My Veteran Golfers Association family,
It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of our dear friend and Team U.S. Coast Guard Captain, Brice Hedin. As many of you know, he suffered a stroke this past summer, followed by several health complications that ultimately led to his passing.

His daughter, Echo, shared that his phone will remain active for a while longer for anyone who would like to reach out and offer condolences to the family.

She is also planning a celebration of life in Alabama this summer and will share details once arrangements are finalized.

Please join me in lifting his family in prayer during this incredibly difficult time. Brice will be deeply missed, and his impact on all of us will not be forgotten.

Fair winds and following seas, our Coast Guard brother. God bless you. 🫡🇺🇸

He is Risen!
