“I don’t have a happy life.” “Why is my life so terrible?” “Why does nobody like me?” These are all phrases and questions I hear from my daughter on a daily basis. I’m not really sure why she’s convinced her life is so bad, but it has never taken much to push her over the…

It’s amazing how life has dramatically shifted for me in the past five years. I went from being in college, having the world at my fingertips, and all the time I needed to do whatever it was I wanted–to being a wife and a mom with one glorious little portion of each afternoon designated to…
