Sep 18 Only Gentleness Today

Life, Faith

Today I’m fixing my eyes on the goodness that surrounds me. Today I’m seeking beauty and kindness. Today I’ll count my many, many blessings. Today I’m going to smile and breathe and feel the sun on my face. Today I’ll pray and remember Jesus is right by my side.

Motherhood, Faith, Life

Aug 10 I'm CORONA-tired

Saying ‘I’m tired’ is like saying ‘I’m chilly’ when I’m buried up to my neck in a snowbank wearing my bathing suit while my little black toes begin breaking off one by one.

Aug 4 I Really Let Myself Go

I let go of other people’s expectations. I let go of comparison and striving. I let go of proving and performing. I let go of the constant need to be ‘perfect.’

Jul 7 This Summer is Different

It’s simple. And slow. Slow enough for riding bikes to the park. Slow enough for catching roly polies. And snails. Slow enough for evenings around our firepit roasting smores.
