Hello! It’s been a minute since I’ve checked in here. I found out yesterday Family Life Counseling will be moving! No worries, we’ll be less than a mile from our current space but I’ll have a WINDOW! As I walked into my office this morning I had a moment of gratitude for the past 3.5 years in this space and decided to share a few of my favorite things. This space was created with great intention to be a space of comfort, peace and healing. Some big things have happened in this office. There are a lot of things pictured here that were gifts from clients, friends or family and some I created or found along the way. Some are gifts from clients whose funerals I’ve attended and I will cherish them forever. This work isn’t easy but I am so blessed to do it. I can’t wait to see what my new space will hold for me and my clients.

Here are some FREE grief support opportunities through BJC starting in 2026. I highly recommend the spouse/partner groups, especially earlier in grief. My kids also really benefitted from the Camp Stepping Stones. If you have also lost a child I cannot say enough about how amazing the Weavings Retreat is! Please consider doing something for yourself in 2026 to help you move forward. Moving forward doesn’t mean leaving your person behind, it’s moving forward living with and for them in new ways. Of course, if you’re a widow and have not connectrd with us or attended a CREW luncheon or event, we can’t wait to meet you and support you. Grief is normal and survivable - you don’t have to walk this road alone.

When adversity turns to purpose, healing happens not only for the person facing adversity but for every life they touch afterward.

My daughter lost her father at 8 years old to undetected heart disease. She was shattered to lose the first man she ever loved, but she had made it her mission to promote heart health and CPR education. This week she is competing for Miss Missouri, and her little sister for the week, Show Me Star Elle, lost her dad recently. It has been so meaningful for Jocelyn to mentor this sweet girl and help her feel like a star!

Having a mentor and being a mentor build resilience. Please send prayers and positive energy to Jocelyn and all the young women competing today for Miss Missouri.

Thank you to The Mexico Ledger for capturing these moments from this week!

Every living thing requires proper care to thrive. I’m in my “plant mom” era. After a few tough weeks, I came home and saw this plant literally drooping the way my soul has been at times recently. I gave it a little water with plant food and the difference 12 hours later is incredible, as she is once again reaching for the sun today. Don’t lose hope. A little self care may be all that’s needed for a more perky and hopeful YOU 12 hours from now.

is deeply concerned about Trump Administration executive orders that affect migrants, including plans for mass deportations. These orders will have a devastating impact, especially on children. We are working in coalitions to take action against them.

It’s been a while…what a busy fall and holiday season it’s been! Just stopping by to remind you to make time for your self care, or should I say “elf” care? The holidays are busy and full of blessing and stressing - slow down and know that it’s ok NOT to do all the things! Happy Holidays to those who celebrate!

Also, there is hard work happening at FLC to allow more clients to utilize their insurance benefits! More to come on this as the details get squared away in the next couple of months!
