We live in a fast-paced, do-it-yourself, put on your big girl pants kind of world. We rush, and we hustle, and we hurry, and we search for meaning as we run from one thing to the next. As humans, we crave connection, to know that we’re not alone and that someone out there cares for [...]
This past December, I participated in a campaign known as Dressember, which is a worldwide movement to not only raise awareness about human trafficking but to also raise funds to support organizations currently working on the front lines. Dressember is centered around a style challenge where you wear a dress or tie every day of [...]
Next Step Ministries is an organization working in Calgary, AB, to help women exit sexual exploitation and rediscover what they’ve buried deep within themselves. They also hold an extraordinary place in my heart because I got the immense privilege to be a live-in at one of their houses for the tail end of 2017. The [...]
