I talk about sex a lot. In public, none the less. And I love it. As the demand for this particular talk has grown, and as I’ve bravely shared my own messy story, the regularity with which I get asked awkward questions has grown too. I love that part too. It has afforded me the opportunity to wrap my arms… Read More
I had become an expert secret keeper. I’d been swept up so fast, and so young, in a whirlwind of self-destructive behavior that the only way to keep breathing was to keep pretending everything was alright. And so I built walls of deception and lies in a desperate effort to keep the world from seeing the real me. The sad,… Read More

No problemmo, my friend, because now you can LISTEN to it! <—-{insert wild applause here} Yes, that’s right… My brave little book, XES : Why Church Girls Tend To Get It Backwards…And How To Get It Right… Read More
In the same way we don’t tend to take dieting advice from someone who’s clearly overweight, or business pointers from a company that’s just filed for bankruptcy, we don’t tend to put much stock into marital advice from someone who’s no longer married. It makes sense, right? Well, not always. My mom forwarded this to me last week and it… Read More
My hubby and I just returned late Sunday night from an incredible week away in celebration of our 10th anniversary…and while I won’t bore you with jealousy-evoking details of swimming with turtles, gloriously unnecessary naps, and the fact that I only gained 5 pounds after devouring enough food to feed a small country – chased by at least one dessert… Read More
Tomorrow we will have officially been married for 87,360 hours. Also known as the less-enormous-sounding ‘10 years’ {insert wild applause here}. A whole decade, people. I know, right? Ten full years for wee punks like us. Who knew? No, we weren’t 14. We were 22 The past ten years have been the most beautiful, most excruciating, most awe-inspiring, most intense,… Read More
This post is alternately entitled: “You’re Being A Punk…But I Still Love You”. A sweet friend of mine texted me a couple of months ago with a plea that read something like this…”please write a post on loving our husbands when they’re being unlovable. I need it and know a few women who could really use the encouragement right now”,… Read More
…whom my heart adores! 9 years ago today, I stood before you in white – adorned with miniscule pearls, an annoyingly poufy veil, and a tan so dark it appeared my head couldn’t possibly belong to the same body – excited beyond belief to become Mrs. McMillan. And the sound of those two words together…”Joy”, followed by a sing-songy “McMillan”…still… Read More
It occurred to me, while sending my hubby a desperate “pray for me…and while you’re at it, pray harder for your children” text earlier this week, that our little loin-fruit are going to require an exorbitant amount of therapy as they age. Compliments of their mother. I have no idea what the state of your relationship with your hormones is,… Read More
Okay, ladies…fasten your seatbelts, and keep your hands and feet in the vehicle at all times. I’m getting wild all up in here. I’m about to show you…”the smolder”. On camera. Oh yes. I did. Be still my beating heart! {swoon} That is all. Good night.
