So I was thinking about shame. I know. I know. It's a weird topic to think about. But really this is how it started. I was thinking about why we don't talk about things that we struggle with. I mean really. If you break your arm, you have to talk about it because it poses… Continue reading We don’t have to be ashamed

Paying attention
That's kind of a funny title for a blog post about anxiety. I realize that. I'm aware. But it seems like a good one today. Oh, ya...sorry did I not mention...I guess I'm writing about that again today. I mean by now you shouldn't be surprised. If you are, you should know I fully believe… Continue reading Paying attention
Safety in the journey
"You have things you need to work on, too." This was said to be in the midst of a discussion about something I felt hurt by. First, let me state that I am proud of myself for having the discussion and staying in it until the resolution. Because you see I don't normally do that… Continue reading Safety in the journey
Rollin’ with the punches
Random Wednesday check-in? Maybe that will be a new thing. I am still figuring out what I'm doing in this new season and new territory. I'm still processing through what to say publicly and what to process offline with my peeps. Y'all. My people deserve a medal. I'm not sure how many rough patches they… Continue reading Rollin’ with the punches
Label me
I heard this quote the other day and it really resonated with me. I've been convicted lately that I hear a lot of labels in my head. Most of them come from the negative committee that lives there. Some of them probably come from Satan when he's trying to disable me. I know you hear… Continue reading Label me
To just be held…and like it
Oh, friends. I sit here completely exhausted and in awe of everything that has happened and I feel compelled to write it out, to tell you of the amazing mercies of a God who gives us exactly what we need exactly when we need it. This weekend we, my people and I, embarked on Goals… Continue reading To just be held…and like it
Unbreakable
We are trying to come up with words, my people and I. Words that define us or words that describe us but maybe words that feel too big or too weighty to adequately fit. Words we want to lean into in the coming year. I can't come up with one. So in true fashion whenever… Continue reading Unbreakable
New every morning
This morning I woke up with joy. I know that sounds weird because you know what I've been walking, and it was the opposite of joy. But this morning I think I finally know what it means when Annie spoke and said, "you can never feel the fullness of joy until you feel the depths… Continue reading New every morning
It’s intentional
My life is in upheaval. Not for any weird reasons. Just because, as you know, I'm moving. I literally spent 15 minutes looking for my computer earlier. It was under a bag and some clothes. And there are boxes everywhere. It's chaos. But really my life has been in metaphorical upheaval for this whole season,… Continue reading It’s intentional
Celebrate weird
(Disclaimer: cuz there are menfolk around here. We're gonna use words like uterus and gynecology and while it doesn't get serious, if those words make you uncomfortable scroll on by. I mean we started this journey with those words many months ago so....Lol. If you're good, carry on.) A couple of weeks ago I got… Continue reading Celebrate weird
