We Try
We try desperately to make the grime go away.With a rag, with a lie,With a mask in a play. Yet we’re still grimy. We try desperately to rid the waste from the outside in.With what is white instead of right.With clearer, hipper, and more thin.Yet we are still wasteful. We cannot...
The Gift of Today
Enjoy the gift of today. We’re stuck in the push and pull of tomorrow’s and yesterday’s. We are stuck in the what we’ve done or haven’t done to be in our current predicament, and what we need to do to get to where we want to be. But we’re missing...
You Can’t Have Transformation Without Loss
Let's be honest here. I have a yellow thumb. I am eager for transformation, but find patience in waiting on the evolution of color. Greenery has become a color of solace and a signal for life. "Locally grown" taking on a new meaning as we’ve focused inward on our own...
Reckless Love
When I was younger, I recevied 2 reckless driving tickets in the same month. And not the wrongfully distributed ones, but an accurate 20 mph over. It cost me almost $2000 out of my already broke college pocket. Yet, I would still speed at any given mindless moment. Despite cruise...

Untangle Your Web
I’m a beach girl with a side city vibe. I climb mountains, but crave high rise street vending artisan and farmers markets. I love fresh air, but can hole up in a room for hours writing and dreaming. I'm half bare foot, half heel. I’m a mom and also a...
Turn on Your Light
The darkness makes the light shine brighter...⠀ What a beautiful perspective change from the contrasting option of the dark swallowing up the light. It’s the entire purpose of a night light. Yet we allow the vast black holes of our lives to steal the inner and even outer sun that...
Stewarding A Child
My actions, my words, my choices, my story, my love; they never go unnoticed, even when I feel like a speck in the sand. She sees me and it’s a constant reminder that He sees me too. Motherhood, a gift of reflection of the heart of our Father for us....
Stomp on the Voices
If I could kill that voice - then I can create another one! The quiet words we whisper to ourselves. The ones when we’re standing in the mirror or scrolling Instagram - “I’m not enough.” The ones when they announce their pregnant AGAIN and you haven’t yet conceived after rounds...
