I was awarded the Sunshine award by the Confused Bawarchis. How cool?!  They wanted me to answer the following questions, I hope you enjoy.

  1. If you could have just about anything to eat in one day without having to feel guilty, what are the top 5 things that you would eat? I could live off of cheese, bread and grapes. I’ll add in Mac-N-Cheese and Meatballs, too!
  2. What is your favorite post that you’ve written? It’s a tie. I really enjoyed writing “My Bad Church Experience” because I got such amazing feedback from it and I really think it has helped someone out there.  “Let the Cards Fall” was fun because I really got to flex my writing muscle.  I haven’t written a story around a metaphor since I left journalism a year ago.
  3. Chocolate or chili? I’m more of a savory person than sweet…EXCEPT when it comes to chocolate!
  4. If you were to go on any reality TV show, what would it be? The Amazing Race.  I love to travel.
  5. Other than blogging what do you do in your free time? My husband and I love to hike.  There’s lots of hiking here in Vegas.
  6. Pink or Black? Definitely Pink!
  7. What was the last thing you googled? Blogging tips
  8. How would you like it if you had no phone and the internet for a day? I actually don’t check my phone or internet when on vacation…but on a normal day, I think I’d go a little stir crazy. 
  9. What is your opinion on selfless? I don’t understand them!  Have you seen the selfie fails?  If not, go check them out NOW.
  10. Where are you taking your next holiday?  We are waiting to see where we get stationed next.  If we don’t get stationed on the West Coast, probably San Francisco and Napa.

A big thanks again to the Confused Bawarchis!

The Gift of the Unexpected​

What if the unexpected is the beginning of becoming your truest self?

Jillian Benfield was living life in the spotlight as a TV journalist, but after receiving a life-altering diagnosis for her unborn son, she realized no camera-ready outfit could dress up her grief. Overcoming this unexpected circumstance wasn’t an option. She would have to undergo it instead. In doing so, she discovered who she was and who God wanted her to become.

In this riveting story filled with grit and grace, Jillian helps you break down the false constructs you’ve built around God and your identity. You won’t avoid your pain, but you’ll learn to feel it, in a healing way. And you’ll discover how your internal transformation leads to external purpose.

No matter what you’re going through, you’re invited to open this gift: The Gift of the Unexpected
