I almost stopped writing yesterday. I was ready to shut down the blog, delete Microsoft word, and close the laptop. When I started this blog, I had no plans for what it would become. I started it as a way to keep friends and family in the loop of what was happening while I was…

Coming Back Home
My soul had been weary for many months last year, and it took a while to come back to life. I didn’t force it to be productive. I didn’t push it until it bent to my will. I simply sat in the winter of my soul. I didn’t try to melt the ice, till the…
Faith in the Lion’s Den
Do you ever read the Bible and feel disconnected from it? There are so many wild stories within those pages, and they happened so long ago that it can be hard to believe they’re true. Oceans splitting apart, fire coming down from heaven, people wrestling with angels or walking on water; it sounds like something…
Inquire Again
One thing I want to learn this year is how to slow down. I want to learn to keep doing the things that make me happy. I want to learn to keep living without feeling like I have to start from scratch every 365 days. Our world has become so laser-focused on hustling to be…
22 Lessons from 2022
This past year was filled with joy, laughter, and delightful newness. It was also one of deep darkness and sadness.

I met my fiance through online dating, which some people may call cringy but I like to think of it as a modern take on the Victorian era. You get set up by a mutual friend or a relative (or the dating website), send letters (or texts) back and forth before you meet in person,…
Coming Out of the Woods
In my office at home, I have a sticky note that says, “Choose a weakness and write out your healing journey.” This was a prompt from an online writing course that I had taken a couple months ago. The thought behind it is that you can’t expect to reach the people reading your words if…
A Letter For The Hard Days
Dear Friend, I know what it feels like to be running a hundred miles a minute while craving just a moment of rest. It can be exhausting to simply pull yourself out of bed in the morning, let alone get dressed and head out the door into a world that seems to be getting more…
Heart Adjustments
Earlier this week, I went to the chiropractor for the very first time. After years of falling off horses and walking like an old lady, I decided it was finally time to do something about my very grumpy back. I had put off going because I knew that my back was really messed up, and…
Let’s Feast
At the start of every new year, we are flooded with social media posts about the best goals and resolutions to set, and how we can maintain them once the first ten days are over. I, for one, have never been a fan of new year’s resolutions because they always seem to be centred around…
