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’s an unexplainable gift from God that can be pushed to any limit and will still be standing at the end because of its unconditional nature. The love between Brandon and Stephanie is so undeniable! They really […]

There are all kinds of roadblocks, twists and turns that we all have endured, are enduring right now and will endure. […]

MS. MELANIE| COVERGIRL BEAUTY | PORT WARWICK WINTER PORTRAITS | SACHEL SAMONE PHOTOGRAPHY

I have been dreaming of shooting someone in the snow since the first time I visited Alaska! Sure it’s cold (like…disrespectfully cold), but I didn’t care!! Shooting in the snow is so….MAGICAL!
