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.…

Stay
Happy Friday friend, My latest post is for the one quietly carrying more than anyone realizes. I’m hoping these wish-filled words find you at just the right moment. And please share with others who may need a bit of encouragement, too. Wishing you all the joy your heart can hold today, xo

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…

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…

Benediction
All January long, my hubby and I reflected in agreement: “This month has felt way longer than 31 days.” Indeed, this new year has arrived with a lot of chaos, distraction, and mass grief. Each day seems to bring something that feels like a whole lot of lot. Finding the balance of being informed about…

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,…

Not an Option
A homemade ice cream shop is just a stone’s throw from our little one’s elementary school. And when he has a great week at school, we sometimes celebrate by stopping by for a yummy, sweet treat. Homemade ice cream is heavenly, with its creamy texture and bursts of flavor that melt in your mouth. And,…
