When I was invited to be a guest blogger for one of my oldest and dearest friends, my initial reaction was joy and excitement that she’d invited me into such a sacred space. And just as those emotions settled, they were replaced with self-doubt. All the questions–you know, the ones only we ask ourselves–flooded my […]
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.” — John 12:24 KJV. We are in a festive time of year — with Thanksgiving and Christmas past and the New Year rapidly approaching. As we […]
Do you ever catch yourself day dreaming? Not just about finding the love of your life, or winning the lottery, or the day that you’ll be done paying all your student loans.

In earlier years, I liked to call myself a “free bird,” a “free spirit,” or even a “rebel.” I’d do things on my own time, letting some things go undone under the guise of ‘I don’t want to be […]
It was week 8 of being home with our newborn and I felt a kind of “autopilot” gear kick in. I was fully functioning in the day-to-day tasks, but if I’m honest—I was in a daze. Wake up, feed baby, change diaper, pump, wash bottles, eat, go here, go there, wash this, wash that, repeat. […]
