To my beloved husband, and very best friend Eric Wharton Author Icon
You are my greatest treasure and I love you. *Heart*


I am happily married and my life has been abundantly blessed with a wonderful loving family. My blog is about the tapestry of two lives that God has permanently woven together by His love and our journey through our many trials, triumphs, and the God-size miracles we have witnessed throughout our daily lives with our strong faith in Christ.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about what defines us as individuals, what our God given talents are, and this made me wonder who I am, and how others perceive me.

My self-definition could be many unlimited things because I am completely different from anyone else. It’s all in our own diversity. Physically I may appear to be like others, but inside I am not the same.

Am I defined by being a 47-year old white American woman? Does being a happily married woman, a daughter, a mother, a grandmother, a sister and a friend define me. I don’t believe material possessions have anything to do with who I am. I am not defined by a title from an employer or by initials behind my name from my education, or from my passion for reading or my DNA. Do my dreams and aspirations play a role in the person I will become?

I feel that my roots, my experiences, religious beliefs, decisions and mistakes I’ve made all enhance the woman I am today. Every day I face new choices, challenges, and this in turn keeps me constantly changing. I am thankful I am not the same person I was three months ago, and I am sure I will not be the same person in the months to come.

I think my self-definition has more to do with my personal beliefs, the way I treat people, and how I’m treated, and my reactions to others. I hope I never stop this constant journey of exploring the woman I am, while learning, and growing to becoming a strong confident individual and be all that I can be.

I think it’s what I choose to believe about myself, my character, and what God wants me to achieve in life that matters the most.

"It’s not who you are underneath, but what you do that defines you."
