When Gratitude Is Louder Than Fear
I didn’t expect this part. I expected nerves. I expected vulnerability hangovers. I expected the quiet after launch where you refresh your phone a little too often and wonder if anyone noticed. What I didn’t expect was the overwhelming kindness of messages, texts, emails, and notes that felt less like congratulations and more like thank…
Four Lives by Forty
I’ve gone back and forth about writing this post more times than I can count. Which, if you’ve read my blog for any amount of time, probably doesn’t surprise you at all. This isn’t just an announcement. It isn’t just a “hey, I wrote a book” moment. This feels more like standing in the middle…
1,749 Days, 41,976 Hours, & 2,518,560 Minutes
Today is one of those days that we have waited on for years, but also a day that has brought me much happiness and grief over the past few years. Today is the day Chris and I got married, and what would be our third wedding anniversary. However today this date takes on a new…

Beautiful Big Bend
The weekend before last I took a trip to Big Bend to go trail riding and camping, and it did not disappoint. I have had a love for the West Texas desert for over a decade, and this trip might have topped them all. I recently made the decision to sale our travel trailer and…
New Year, New Attitudes, New Me
The start of the year is always a time where I feel particularly called to declutter, reassess my goals, and start new or adjust my current routines. This new year feels like more of a new beginning of sorts than other new years that I can recall. In reflecting, surviving the past year since Chris’s…
One Year; Grief, Growth, & God’s Goodness
It is exceptionally difficult to explain what we have experienced over the past year. The past year is a paradox in that it feels like it was just yesterday that Chris went to his heavenly home, but also feels like we have lived a lifetime in this past year as we have adjusted to the…
