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!

The school supplies are stacked in a neat little pile—fresh pencils, crisp folders, and that brand-new pack of crayons still untouched. His outfits are washed, ironed, and hanging like little promises of the year to come. Where we live, we’re one week away from the first day, and I can already feel the shift. My […]

A Legacy of Love: The Hall Family’s Multi-Generational Session on the Emerald Coast
