Chaos. The stirring up of the lies that have for so long spun their webs around our hearts. Thirsty. Our hearts cry out for freedom from the fears that stifle their potential and purpose. Freedom. The love that has the power to redefine the way that we see ourselves and the world. New things are… Continue reading The Process

Stay Engaged in Love
Hovering in the wind, waiting for a reason to either land or take off in full flight. It is tempting to live a life that is half invested, letting the wind blow us to and fro. This word loves to try and cause us to love a disengaged life, one that admires love but doesn’t… Continue reading Stay Engaged in Love
Love isn’t a destination
I am writing this in honor of my sweet friend Mariya Hope who last year lost her battle to cancer, but who has forever left an imprint on my life and the life of so many other people. She is somebody who taught me about love and about living fully present and inspired me to… Continue reading Love isn’t a destination
Bloom Here & Now
In some ways we are all just prisoners, looking, hoping, seeking. Our hearts crave a purpose, something to cause life to course through it. Yet distractions kill our potential and purpose. These bars around us are what stops our hearts from beating and our souls from thriving. The chilled iron finds its way into our… Continue reading Bloom Here & Now
Hope Thrives

Lost amongst a world that so often captivates our hearts with distractions and doubt. Doubt that is fueled by the harsh voices surrounding us and from lack of visible growth. Scattered dreams, a breath… Continue reading Don’t Give Up, Love Wins
Return to Rest
Remember to breathe. To plant your feet in the sunshine, letting its warmth bring life as it begins to erase the scars that have been etched into your skin. Remember to pause. To take a moment to reflect on the battles you’ve won and to remind yourself of the strength with which your heart beats.… Continue reading Return to Rest
From Shadows to Light
We sit in the silence, the shadows in many ways a safe haven. Our eyes have grown accustomed to the space around us and our heart has learned to listen to the whispers of fear. The fears that know our name and prey on our weaknesses, growing their roots deep they create the illusion that… Continue reading From Shadows to Light
Invitation not Interruption
I will always remember that day, your curly hair as wild and unruly as your heart. A heart that was never created to carry the scars and bruises that have been left by the harsh angry hands of those around you. Hands that once held so much purpose and beauty, yet forced to be used… Continue reading Invitation not Interruption
And Still Praises Rise.
And still Praises rise. I remember taking these photos; the crunching of the leaves intermingled with Mariyas joy filled laughter. The strong beautiful rays of the sun shining down on her fragile yet brave body as we were all reminded of the beauty to be found even amidst heartache and trials. I remember the way… Continue reading And Still Praises Rise.
