What Happened To You Is Not Who You Are
Hello friends! September is a lovely month for so many reasons. One of those reasons is the month my sister was born! I have been learning more about trusting the process, and acceptance as I walk alongside Stacy through significant health challenges. Her move here to Arizona to live with me has been such a blessing. We haven’t been roommates…
Is “Keeping No Record Of Wrongs” Keeping You Stuck?
Hello, friends! Fall has already been in the air here in Michigan and I am not ready to let go of summer. I am, however, ready to let go of lawn care. I am making a mental note to myself to start early in treating my lawn with weed prevention next spring and, more importantly, not to miss any of…
The Trauma Bond Behind “But I Still Love Him”
Morning friend, I spent all day Saturday in the emergency room. Still not sure exactly what’s wrong, but it’s probably a torn ligament in my knee. It’s amazing to me how our body immediately lets us know that something is wrong. A little tear, but it won’t let me ignore it. Pain forces us to pay attention. Whether physical, emotional,…
When Survival Takes Over: Breaking the Freeze Response in a Marriage Marked by Anger and Fear
Hello friend, I hope this summer has given you at least a few real moments of joy, sunshine, and some actual peace. I love those early-morning rays that hit me and somehow make me want to get up with a little more energy and a smile.

What Kind of Air Are You Breathing?
As I write this from Minnesota, we are experiencing some of the worst air quality in the world.

I’ve been noticing how different it feels,…
When Doing the “Right” Thing Leaves You Feeling Confused and Inadequate
Hello Friends! This summer has brought more than just stifling heat to West Michigan. For several days, the smoke from far-off wildfires drifted into my area. The sky looked hazy, the sun struggled to shine through, and the air quality index deemed the conditions hazardous. For several days, people were urged to stay indoors. What should have been life-giving had…
Am I Crazy, or Is He Controlling?
It’s been an unusual season here at LV & Co. We’re a small team and there’s been a lot of life happening for everyone. We’re all glad to be part of this ministry, and we all have ups and downs. Thank you for your prayers, we’re always grateful for them. I normally support quietly in the background, making sure these…
When Your Husband Seems ‘Godly’ And You Can’t Find the Words to Say What is Actually Happening
Hello friends! As we step into Summer, we are offering one of my favorite group coaching opportunities of the year. It’s a drop in group coaching format and we are taking a magnified look at the ways in which People Pleasing sneaks into our lives. I’d like you to consider joining us for this wonderful growth opportunity. You can learn…
