  • Keep Going, Softly

    Keep Going, Softly

    This past week has been a tough one. I didn’t post my usual blog. I haven’t been as present online. Truthfully? I’ve been tired. Run down. Discouraged, even. But here’s what I’m learning: tired doesn’t mean finished. I want to create, I want to show up, and I want to keep building this space. But…

  • When Gossip Tries to Sabotage You: Remember Who You Are

    It’s wild how the enemy moves sometimes. He doesn’t always show up in big, obvious ways. More often, he slips in quietly — through whispers, gossip, and twisted words. He plants seeds of doubt just when you’re stepping into a new season, a new opportunity, or a new level in your life. Recently, I was…

    When Butterflies Lead You Home

    They say the butterfly effect is when something small — like the flap of a butterfly’s wing — sets off a chain of events that can shift everything. But as I sat talking with my husband this past Sunday, I realized it’s more than just chance. For me, it’s been God’s hand in the details,…

    I don’t usually remember my dreams. But this one—I can’t forget. It wasn’t just a dream; it felt like an experience. A message. It started on an ordinary day. I was at home with my husband. I stared out the window at the sky, and that’s when I saw them: two stars, tiny but impossibly…

  • Destroying Procrastination: A Lesson in Choosing What Matters Most

    Sometimes, the words we need to hear come from the most unexpected places. For me, it was a coworker’s honesty and a group chat message from my boss that completely changed how I look at my time, my passions, and even myself. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of procrastination—knowing what you love…

  • Embracing New Beginnings: Turning 30 and New Year’s Eve

    There’s something magical about New Year’s Eve. It’s the promise of a clean slate, a chance to reset and start fresh. For me, this New Year’s Eve feels extra special-it’s not just the beginning of a new year, but the start of so many new chapters. I’ve just entered my thirties, my period has coincidentally…
