say no to gratitude and yes to you
Meet your delightfully rebellious heart. Say hello to Thanksgiving. While you are at it, make a wave at the end of the year and add on a big scoop of what it’s like to ride on the tails of a contentious election. Eeeek, right?!?! I mean with a combination like...
it doesn’t seem sexy…but it is!
Imagine that you and I are in a fight. In this moment, you hear about all of the ways in which you are deficient. You are reminded of all of your failures as a light shines brightly on a lot on all of your inadequacies. OMG! Don’t I just sound like the worst person in...

When I wake up in the morning, my first thought is “I can’t wait! Let’s do this!” Years ago if you would have told me that I would be jumping at the chance to get out of bed and get to work: I would have responded with a combination of amusement, intrigue, suspicion...

A little over a week ago, Danny and I returned from Europe. It is an understatement to say that our time together was expansive and magical. During the trip, I could feel so much transforming and shifting within me. I knew that I would never be the same again, and now...
Re: Choosing a Life that You Love
Greetings from a Europe-bound plane! In the nearly eight years that Daniel and I have been together, this is our first international trip together. A dear friend---someone who I met when I was eight-years-old and who went to Catechism with me---is getting married in...
