25 Lessons
I know that twenty-five years isn’t a long time in the grand scheme of things, but I’ve always loved celebrating milestone moments. I’m so thankful for everything that I’ve learned and experienced in these past years; I know that I wouldn’t be the person I am today without everything that happened in them. Here’s to…
Time to Redefine
I have loved horses for as long as I can remember. My first word was probably "horse." I had horse shirts, movies, books, and a room that was saturated with every possible horse knick-knack.

Treasured Truth
When I was little, my dad helped my brother and I memorize Psalm 23. I remember piling onto my parent’s bed in the evening so that we could sit and work through the verses one at a time. I couldn’t tell you why my dad chose that particular Psalm, but I can tell you that…

The Art of Surrender
I’m a habitual planner. If there’s something that needs to be planned, I’m there. If there’s something that doesn’t need to be planned, I’m there anyway trying to sort everything into colour coordinated flow charts and file folders.
