Healing Isn’t Linear, Part 2
I have started writing this post so many times, and I’ve had to start over multiple times. There are so many things going on in my life at the moment, and some of the most important things can’t be shared… so it’s hard to know where to start. First, I want to bring up what…

“Miracles Happen When You Move”
We recently started going to a new church. I never thought I would end up back in a Baptist church, but here we are. I have such a history with the Southern Baptist denomination, and it’s almost a little scary stepping back into one. We loved our church before, but it was so hard to…

Remembering My “Why”

I feel like I’m learning something new everyday… either about myself, about others around me, or about life in general. I guess that’s semi-normal, BUT I am a super reflective person so it’s just a constant thing for me. It can be a blessing and a curse. I am ALWAYS processing things in my brain,…

Lent, Relentless Pursuit of Jesus, and Mental Strength
Last week at our Ash Wednesday service (which is new to me since I grew up Southern Baptist- I thought only Catholic people did this!), I was thinking through this huge desire to get off of social media and spend more time relentlessly pursuing Jesus instead. I was like “this would be the perfect thing…

Now that I’m 40
First, I have to share something that makes me so, so happy and made my year: my people threw me a 40th birthday party last night. I have never felt so loved by my community. They had lavender tea cake, Asian food, amazing homemade kombucha, wildflower and succulents for decoration, a sweet book with notes…

Acceptance
This year has been one of ups and downs with my mental health. Just when I think I’m managing well, the bottom falls out (sometimes for no real reason, sometimes for good reason). Some days I feel like I am managing well, and other days I’m barely surviving. Leaving the school where we were helped…

Practical Coping Tips for Anxiety
All right, y’all. I feel like I was equipped for this time by going through all that I have, and learning how to manage life in spite of the trials. To start, I want to give a bit of context of the things that I have dealt with and gone through over the years. It…
