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!

I feel like it’s been FOREVER since I’ve blogged, but this was put on my heart to share, so here it goes: Ethan and I laugh a lot. Yes, we are very happy, but don’t get it twisted: there are times where Ethan and I don’t see eye to eye. There are times where he […]
