"This is the message we have heard from Him and proclaim to you, taht God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all." - 1 John 1:5 Light means everything as it actually is out in the open without shame. Nothing dark or scary or hidden exists in the light. God doesn't do … Continue reading Light

Actual Living, Breathing Bachelors
Lately I've been seeing friends sharing on social media* that they are feeling frustrated with how little they have accomplished in their lives or are struggling to build the life they want. This is probably because I turned 30 just a couple months ago. We're all turning 30 and taking a bit look around and … Continue reading Actual Living, Breathing Bachelors
“Someone is wrong and it could be me.”
This time of year is perfect for intentional thinking, pausing, and assessing. Self-awareness has been one of the best gifts life experience (and YouthWorks job training) has given me. It is immensely valuable to be able to sit down, look inside myself and my life, name what I’m crazy about and what is driving me … Continue reading “Someone is wrong and it could be me.”
We are lovely and loved
I'm supposed to be on my way out of the house right now to run various errands, but I've been watching the new season of Queer Eye all morning and I have to write some things down. If you haven't watched Queer Eye, the overarching message of the show is, "you are lovely and you … Continue reading We are lovely and loved
Here’s the thing about asking for help
In addition to learning how to say no and learning how to stop apologizing for things that aren’t my responsibility, I realized this week that I am in the midst of learning how to ask for help. I’m not talking about asking for help doing things I don’t know how to do. I learned that … Continue reading Here’s the thing about asking for help

Netflix Comedy Specials
Recently, within the last year or so, I've gotten pretty into watching the comedy specials available on Netflix. They're a great way to mix up The Alienest and How to Get Away with Murder type stuff I like to watch. (But seriously, did you watch The Alienest?! It's Criminal Minds in 1896 and it's awesome. … Continue reading Netflix Comedy Specials
Intentional Love
One of my favorite words is "intentional." In fact, it looks like it is my unintentional (hah!) word of the year for 2018. Intentionality is the key to so many good things. Being intentional is the key to being successful, to developing and maintaining good habits, to growing healthy relationships, to becoming a better version … Continue reading Intentional Love
Sorry Not Sorry
In December my family came to visit for Christmas. It was amazing. But it got off to a rocky start. The cabin they had rented had recently gone under some renovations, and the renovations weren't finished. It turned out okay in the end, but for the first 24 hours or so I fought the urge … Continue reading Sorry Not Sorry
Three Reasons Why I Want a Husband
#1. He won’t leave. In this ex-pat life I lead, people are constantly coming and going. Generally I take this as it comes - encouraging newbies, celebrating new beginnings, calling out growth, and then sending people off to whatever is next. But sometimes that Facebook status or that blog post announcing that yet another individual … Continue reading Three Reasons Why I Want a Husband
