My phone is dead, my teething seven month old is sleeping in my lap, my right arm is going numb and I can’t reach the netflix remote or any of the many books I am currently “reading”. What good am I serving? I laugh, but parts of me also want to cry. What am I […]
Until there’s not. “Time is for dying in a thousand ways, so why be afraid of dying when a kind of dying could come all the time? Live every day like you’re terminal. Because you are. Live every day like your soul’s eternal. Because it is.” (Ann Voskamp, The Broken Way) We spend so much of our […]
Let’s see how quickly I can get these thoughts to “paper” while Jeff is making my favorite…pizza. Marriage. How many words flood my mind when I hear the word? Oh so so so many. What words flood yours? My husband married a difficult woman. I’m no walk in the park. I’m more of a scramble […]

I’m not one to express politically unless I’m sitting down with you for coffee or we’re pulling out the wine, but may I share one thing that my toddler has me thinking about with everything going on? My Will has a will. And it’s fierce. To be known, to be seen, to be heard, to […]
One of the most freeing times in my life was when I jumped into a night time lake. Bare to the bones. Just as I was. I remember feeling guilty for doing it and also, absolutely brave. I admired these women for the freedom they had in themselves. For their boldness, the acceptance of their […]
Kind people are my kinda people If you go to a playground with your children and you see my flock walking up, it’s likely you’ll at least meet my oldest boy. He’s in the habit of saying hello and wondering, with all of his might, who you are. He’s also in the habit of thinking everything is his, he’s […]
Every morning I place my bare feet firm on the ground and fight for the day God will tether my home to His, for good. Even with my broken wings. ———————————————— I had a really good talk with my dad yesterday, he picked me up like I was his little girl again — as in […]
