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…
New Year, Same You
The new year always rings in with the crackle of fireworks, the clinking of glasses, and the deepening dread you have to start your new diet tomorrow. People have been making (and breaking) new years resolutions since the ancient Babylonians, which is a long time for humanity to be obsessed with the need to change…
You Are Not A Blank Page
Do you know how scary a blank page can be? It stares back at you wide-eyed and waiting. A blank page is an endless opportunity for creation. You could draw on it, write on it, fold it, cut it, twist it, and the list goes on and on, with each option branching out into more…
Be Still (Part 2)
In part one of this two-part blog post, we saw how the Lord provided for the people of Israel and how King Hezekiah knew God’s character and trusted that He would come through for them. I love that part so much because it reminds me that when it feels like the world is falling apart…
Be Still (Part 1)
One of the hardest things for me to do is to stop and be still. My mind is constantly running through conversations, scenarios, and things that I need to do. Even my house is very rarely still. There’s always music or a show on in the background, animals running around, and just the general chaos…
Are We There Yet?
If you’ve ever watched any show or movie that’s centred around a family, there will inevitably be a road trip somewhere in the story. As the journey progresses and mishaps ensue, one of the children will undoubtedly say, “Are we there yet?” Maybe if you’ve ever travelled somewhere with small children, you’ve experienced this firsthand,…
White-Knuckled Ride
Anyone who works with horses can tell you that it's never dull. Every day is a new adventure, and every horse is different from the last. Some horses will head out on the trail without a second thought, excited to get away from the barn and see new things. Others are more hesitant, unsure of…
