Slow Down
Hello friend, this month’s gentle invitation is simply this: slow down. I’m sharing why slowing down enough to notice this season of life has become one of my most meaningful forms of self-care. I hope you’ll take a quiet moment and join me for this gentle reminder that we don’t have to rush to live…

Travel Light
Hi friend, Took me years, but I’ve learned to ask myself one question over and over: Is this actually mine, or have I been carrying something God never asked me to carry? That question has changed me. I’ve realized that sometimes the most faithful thing we can do isn’t carry more. It’s trust God more.…

Home Base
Hey friends, This month’s post is live on the blog, and I’m sharing a reflection below called Home Base. It’s a gentle reminder I needed myself this month, about the importance of feeling grounded when life feels full, fast, or topsy-turvy. I hope it meets you right where you are and gives you a small…

Silver Lining
Hi friend, my latest blog post is called Silver Lining. It’s a gentle reflection for times when looking for the good feels hard or forced. I’m learning that a silver lining isn’t about rushing past the pain, but noticing where God is still at work. If this speaks to where you are, I hope you’ll…

Sometimes
Hey friend, honest moment: Lately I’ve had my fair share of “sometimes moments,” moments of doubt, weariness, and quiet hope. Moments when faith feels fragile and grace feels necessary. That’s the heart behind my latest blog post, Sometimes. And I want to share it with you.

And Yet
Whew, friend … this year has been doing the MOST. But you know what? God’s goodness keeps showing up right in the middle of the hard stuff. In my latest post, I’m sharing why those little words “and yet” matter so much. (Spoiler alert: Because they remind us there’s still beauty and blessings worth holding…

Blankie
Many moons ago, a work colleague nicknamed me “Blankie.” As she put it, my easygoing and gentle nature with others felt like a warm, cozy blanket wrapped around those I encountered. Over the years, I’ve come to recognize that I inherited that trait from my mother. Mom’s sweet spirit immediately put everyone at ease. Strangers…

Twice the Kleenex
I knew it would happen. I just didn’t know how incredibly bittersweet it would be. “It” = riding another wave of change as our two oldest kiddos launch new chapters of their lives. When our daughter and older son were tiny tots with chubby cheeks in car seats, Joel and I would sometimes reflect, “They’re…

Less Is More
Last year did a number on me, y’all. More hate between Red and Blue. Deep hurt as a 92 percent Black woman who voted for the common good (because we’re completely – not selectively – honest about the country we love, too). Knowing that so many folks voted for rich people who are clearly self-serving,…
