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!

GIVE YOURSELF GRACE | AN ENCOURAGING WORD | FROM THE DESK OF SACHEL SAMONE

I’m not a perfectionist, but I can be pretty hard on myself. The dreams, goals and expectations I have for myself are really high and when I do fall short, I can get really down and sometimes feel like I am not doing enough. Like I am not enough. But as I’ve been spending less and less time […]

As small as I am, I LOVE to eat! No seriously…I’m never without snacks…like EVER. So one of my goals for the year was to try a new recipe every month. I honestly can’t remember if I tried anything special last month, but this year, I’m going full force! Although it is one of the […]
