This location is right off of Constitution Avenue but still feels calm and peaceful. It has walking paths, a wonderful view of the Washington Monument, willow trees and the lovely pond. It’s the […]

This December brought a whole new light to the Advent season for me. A new baby. A promised son. A long expectant wait for his arrival. So many parallels to the birth of Christ and sweet ways it because more real for me as a new mother. The way that hope and weariness, peace and […]
