Thinking Out Loud
Once again, Star Trek has me waxing poetic about the ordinary, or extraordinary, love we share with those in our lives, how grateful I am for the loves of my life, and how important it is to tell them you love them. Last night, my fiancé and I were watching the last episode of the… Continue reading

Do it afraid…
Something I’ve been wondering is whether there is such a thing as praying bold prayers in fear. I was praying last night to know what it means for the joy of the Lord to be my strength, but I realized I was hesitant in my request. Not because that’s not what I really want; I’ve… Continue reading

My first thought was this moment is not that moment that was, so yes, I’m going to respond differently. But the more I thought about it, the… Continue reading

Just gonna leave this here…
Promise to reflect more later, but for now, this stunning statement from the squares of the insta… after decades of starving and yearning, when love and affection has finally been bestowed upon you, how do you bear the delightful intensity of its taste? each bite overwhelms me to the bone. I did not even have… Continue reading

Sing it….but, no
The best part of learning is just loving where I’m at . . . Keep your dirt on the surface and just love where you’re at. —Allen Stone Such beauty and soul in this voice, and such truth in those words. But let’s be honest…I’m really not lovin’ where I’m at right now. To be… Continue reading
