Every morning, I drop Harper off at her elementary school and about an hour and a half later, I drop Bentley off at his preschool. When I drop each of them off at school, I have the exact same routine. I get them out of the car and I take a moment to remind them … Continue reading Remember Who You Are
Finding Your Voice
Channelling My Inner Athlete
Last week, I spent some time thinking about the 16 year old athlete version of me from long ago. She seems to be the truest version of me before I was introduced to deep pain or experiencing wounds. I learned something from that girl. When it came to anything athletic, she used to say, “I … Continue reading Channelling My Inner Athlete
In Living Color
Last week I wrote about what it looks and feels like to live our life in faded color, and how it can be easy to offer the world a safe, edited version of ourselves. You’re not alone if you’ve spent much of your life trying to be like someone else, being afraid and living in … Continue reading In Living Color
In Faded Color
Last week I shared about an invitation we’ve been offered to lean into who God’s made us to be and do what He’s created us to do. Sounds easy right? My personal experience has proven otherwise. As I continued thinking this week on this “leaning” idea, I realized it requires one thing of me I … Continue reading In Faded Color

Things like risk, fear, shame, confusion or other challenges can muffle our ability to listen to our soul or pay attention to the unique longings and passions God put inside of us. As I’ve spent the past … Continue reading What Were You Made to Do?
An Invitation to Practice Self-love
A couple weeks ago I had a bit of a wake up moment at the DMV, as I sat for hours waiting for my number to be called. Not exactly where I expected to have a moment of transformation... Truth be told, I’ve been trying to make my way through Brene Brown’s book, Daring Greatly, … Continue reading An Invitation to Practice Self-love
Tenderly FOR Me
What I am learning from this past year of processing my story and healing some wounds is that if I allow fear to be the chief in charge, it will ALWAYS keep me huddling in the corner. It will keep my spirit bound up, hostage and absolutely quiet. Fear keeps my gaze looking at all the … Continue reading Tenderly FOR Me
Healing Silence
“In an age of acceleration, nothing can be more exhilarating than going slow. And in an age of distraction, nothing is so luxurious as paying attention. And in an age of constant movement, nothing is so urgent as sitting still.” - Pico Iyer Here we are. Headed into the holiday season. And after a … Continue reading Healing Silence
On Finding My Voice
I’ve mentioned a handful of times in my writing that I’ve been invited on a journey to find my own voice. Of course this means I’m practicing finding my writer’s voice, but really what I’m doing is finding my soul’s voice. Many factors have contributed to my not knowing what my soul’s voice sounds like. … Continue reading On Finding My Voice
