Rest Well
I soap box a lot about the importance of honoring rest and restoration and also the fact that it will look different for everyone so I wanted to share what that looked like for me over the weekend because I found immense joy in quite simple things and instead of just saying “rest” I thought…
The Write Way
I have been told a few times: “You really put yourself out there in your writing.” And I’ve been ruminating on that the last few days because what do I write about that gives off that impression? I mean you will never find me talking about specific issues or successes I face in my marriage…
Crowd Control
I don't know about your social media feeds but mine is inundated with both memories and reflections of the fact that it is a little over a year since the world was told that it was facing a global pandemic and that the human species would be required to become ZOOM aficionados. And while I…
