IN MY LIFE:
It’s official, my daughter is now enrolled as a first year student at UNC-Chapel Hill! We drove here on Monday, moved in on Tuesday, and attended First Year Orientation on Wednesday & Thursday. It’s been an exhausting week, but I couldn’t be more proud of my girl.
I have so many thoughts I want to share, especially for other first-time college parents, but for now let’s just say that I’ll be making a lot more trips to North Carolina for the next few years (and you know this basketball fan won’t mind that at all🙂 ).
And don’t forget: even though I’m on the road today, you can watch The Sami Cone Show at 1 PM CT from anywhere with this link.
I’m featuring a trendy new recipe from Gaylord Opryland Resort, a conversation with Annie F. Downs about her new book and my top shopping strategies for this time of year. Get all the details on the August episode here.
PRAYER FOCUS: Passion
It’s been a privilege to watch all these college students step into the next step of their futures. No matter your age, I pray you re-examine and pursue your passion today.
