A Mindful Connection
I once was a little girl full of words and wisdom for every “friend” around me. I saw the world as my place to meet new people, and everyone would be my friend. I remember one October evening when my family took me on a fall outing, the first thing my dad told me was,...
Little Gifts of an Ordinary Day
We have our moments—those special times when everything from heaven and earth meet and all is well. We have more of these little gifts than one may think, and they take place on an ordinary day, in the whispers of passing time and with the beats of our racing hearts....
The In-Betweens
Have you ever sat in a space where you didn’t think about your past or what is going to happen in your future? This space is unique; it can even give you a sense of security. I call it our in-betweens. In this space, we have the opportunity to see ourselves in a true,...

Faith in the Unknown
“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” – Psalm 73:26 Today marks two years since the end of my battle with the unknown. From 2021 to 2023, I went through hell. In November of 2021, I had an awful pain in my side,...

Never Ashamed
