I've been keeping journals since I was in the 3rd grade and I'm so glad to share some of my most intimate life moments with you here!  Here, you'll find inspirational and encouraging stories of me and other broken people like me. We are all jars of clay who have been afflicted in every way, but not crushed...struck down by not destroyed.  Here, you do NOT have the right to remain silent, so as you read, grab your favorite snack and drink and leave a comment...share YOUR story. I can't wait to connect with you in this beautiful safe space. 

welcome to my

journal!

It has been incredibly quiet on the blog for the past week or so and it is because…I have officially moved to Alaska!!! It was probably the quickest move known to man (I literally cleared out an apartment and moved 5,000 miles in 6 days), but it definitely feels good to finally just BE HERE! […]

CHOOSING TO STAND IN THE SUNSHINE | INTERNATIONAL DAY OF HAPPINESS

I woke up this morning in THE most cheerful mood. Sure it was raining outside and I wasn’t physically feeling 100% like myself, but the joy in my heart was undeniable. Life is hard. There are all kinds of roadblocks, twists and turns that we all have endured, are enduring right now and will endure. […]
