While financial accuracy and compliance remain core expectations, many organizations now rely on CFOs for broader guidance. Finance leaders are increasingly involved in planning, operational discussions, and long-term decision-making. This shift reflects a growing recognition that financial insight plays a central role in organizational stability.

Building My Life Back After Trauma
Trauma doesn’t just hurt you. It changes you. It disrupts your sense of safety, your confidence, your decision-making, and often the way you see yourself. For a long time, I wasn’t just trying to “feel better.” I was trying to figure out who I was after everything that happened.

Making Time for God: Daily Prayer in a Busy Life
Life is busy. Work, family, errands, and responsibilities often fill every corner of the day, leaving little space for reflection or prayer. Yet daily prayer is one of the most powerful tools a Catholic has for staying grounded, cultivating patience, and experiencing God’s presence in every moment. Finding ways to integrate prayer into a busy life is not about creating a rigid schedule; it is about building habits that allow moments of connection, however brief, to become transformative.

Understanding the Sacraments and Why They Matter
The Catholic Church teaches that the sacraments are more than rituals or traditions. They are encounters with God, tangible ways to experience His grace and presence in our lives. Each sacrament has a unique purpose, a moment where faith becomes visible, and life meets the sacred. Understanding why the sacraments matter is an invitation to see how God works in both ordinary and extraordinary ways.

How Dog Proof Products Made Daily Life With My Dog Easier
When I first brought my dog home, I thought love, walks, and training would cover everything. I was wrong. Love was there. Training helped. But my home was not ready. Trash cans tipped over. Cushions looked tired too fast. Floors told stories I did not want guests to read.

The Trouble with /My/ Time
Today is supposed to be my fresh start to a new week, but I am still reeling with the realization that my private property means absolutely nothing to my children's father, that my parenting time and my personal plans are irrelevant enough to him to risk our child going without the prescription drink he needs - just because said adult's schedule is the sole valuable one?, and that there is likely nothing I can do to stop this behavior from simply continuing.

Running a business in Florida means operating in one of the most dynamic—and complex—risk environments in the country. Between climate exposure, legal requirements, contractual obligations, and industry-specific risks, insurance is not just a formality.

Motherhood After Loss
If you’d asked me 10 years ago how many children I thought I’d have I would of told you zero. At that point in life I was almost convinced I couldn’t have children. It wouldn’t be long and I’d be proven wrong. February 2016 my now husband and I found out we were pregnant with our first daughter. Due to my medical history I was terrified. Pregnancy went well and baby girl was happy and healthy. We had a few road bumps with her gaining weight but we overcame that obstacle! My husband and I thought it would be several years before we had another child if we ever had another child and then in June of 2018 we were once again surprised! We were pregnant with a baby boy. January 21, 2019 we welcomed our son. He had the most beautiful blond curls! He was always so happy and such a sweet boy. If you’d asked my husband and I we would of said we were done having kids. We had a beautiful girl and boy. What more did we need.

What Is Your Favorite Bible Verse?
Sometimes a few words from the Bible can change the way we see the world and guide the way we live our lives. One of my favorite verses comes from Isaiah 61:3. It says, “I will give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes of despair, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.” These words have carried a lot of meaning for me over the years. They have been more than inspiration. They have been a guide for how I try to show up in the lives of the people I care about.

Learning to Surrender Control to God
Surrender is one of the most misunderstood ideas in the Christian life. For many people, the word itself triggers resistance. It sounds passive, frightening, or even irresponsible. We are taught to plan carefully, protect ourselves, and stay in control. Faith, however, introduces a different way of living, one that asks us to loosen our grip and trust Someone beyond ourselves.
