I’m learning that It is okay to waver, to stand on the shore of uncertainty and doubt. To let the water wash up over and over again, the rythym of have echoing the beat of your heart. It is okay to feel the weight of the moment, the fear of letting go of what is… Continue reading Here’s to 25

Last week was rough. I had been feeling more sick than usual and pretty discouraged with not having answers. I was trying some dietary changes that initially seemed they would help narrow down the answers, or at least leave me feeling better. Yet I felt worse. I spent a few nights allowing it to get… Continue reading And Still We Hope

I got flipped off the other day. Which I am sure is something that does not sounds terribly monumental, but it isn’t something that happens to me often. And believe it or not, I have never flipped anybody off. It was 1:30 in the morning and my dad and I had just sprinted across the… Continue reading Choosing kindness

Praise often times precedes the miracle. I remember repeating these words to myself a few weeks ago when I was sitting at a point of desperation and frustration.

Choosing to lock people in their prison cells, their… Continue reading Refusing to be Silent

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

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

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
