Project: Declutter, Simplify & Maintain {31 Days}

“Our life is frittered away by detail… Simplify, simplify”                                                         ~ Henry Thoreau This mildly neurotic, type-A, control-freakish, list-loving organized gal has a thing for, well…organization.  I love it!  Cleaning house, especially without little loin-fruit under foot, is wildly therapeutic to me. With the right music, the right tools {gotta love Mrs. Meyer’s cleaners} , […]

Marzipan {Recipe & Welcome! Printable}

I’m all about packaging. It isn’t usually evident by the way I look most days – especially after being brutalized by Jillian Michaels for 20 minutes – but the desire is there.  Buried somewhere beneath sweat, old yoga pants, flushed cheeks and Amazon-woman hair. Personal presentation aside, I’m drawn to details, to beauty, to color, […]

Lambs, Calves & Kids…oh my!

Despite the chill and whippy wind, our littles had a glorious morn with friends and baby animals.  And a wagon ride.  And, lest we forget the food, pizza.  What’s not to love? We trekked out to a little family-owned petting farm where we got to lay eyes on the most darling 4 day old lambs […]

The Smolder

Okay, ladies…fasten your seatbelts, and keep your hands and feet in the vehicle at all times.  I’m getting wild all up in here. I’m about to show you…”the smolder”.  On camera.  Oh yes.  I did. Be still my beating heart! {swoon} That is all.  Good night.

Love, Marriage

Psoriases, Puke & Pretty Girls {and Other Bedtime Stories}

Mercy, it’s been a wild week.  Wild and fabulous. Dish: My hubby and I recorded a little video interview of ourselves for something ridiculously cool that we’re applying for.  It was fun.  And awkward.  And sweet.  I’d tell you about it, but then I’d have to kill you. Deadly: I poisoned my entire family the […]

Do Not Worry

“Do not worry about your life. Do not worry about what you are going to eat and drink. Do not worry about what you are going to wear. Is not life more important than food? Is not the body more important than clothes?  Look at the birds in the sky. They do not plant seeds. […]

The Naughty Cookies {viewer discretion advised}

The cookies you are about to see are not intended for your grandma’s consumption.  Nor are they intended for your 5 year old’s lunch box.  Any resemblance to actual curves or derrières or bosoms, living or dead, is by no way coincidental. These sugar-infused representations of actual body parts were crafted “purely” for the purpose […]

Cupcake Face

We recently met “new” neighbors who moved into this town at roughly the same time as we did.  Turns out…we adore them and are tickled pink to have such a fabulous family living just down the road from us!   The fact that the lovely mama makes killer cupcakes could further solidify our relationship. {knuckle […]

The enemy may wound. But he doesn't get to write t The enemy may wound.
But he doesn't get to write the ending.

Morgan's story includes abuse, betrayal, fear, and years of healing.

Yet today she spends her life loving vulnerable children, opening her home to foster kids, and building a family rooted in grace.

What could have broken her became
the very place God planted compassion.
That's redemption.
Not erasing the wound.
Not pretending it didn't happen.

But allowing God to grow something beautiful from what was meant to destroy.

Some stories are painful to tell. And some stories Some stories are painful to tell.
And some stories need to be told anyway.

This week on Oh, Good Grief, I'm joined by the lovely Morgan Brailley, a survivor, foster mama, adoptive mom, and living testimony to God's redemptive love.

Morgan shares her journey through abuse, trauma, healing, foster care, and the unexpected ways God can bring beauty from the deepest wounds.

This conversation is honest.
Tender. Hard.
And full of hope.

Because trauma may shape us,
but it does not get the final word.

🎙️ Episode 027 | When the Silence Breaks
  A Story of Abuse, Survival, and Redemptive Love

#OhGoodGriefPodcast #TraumaHealing #RedemptionStory
Grace and truth were never enemies in the life of Grace and truth
were never enemies in the life of Jesus.

He told the woman caught in adultery:
“Neither do I condemn you…
go and leave your life of sin.”

Mercy.
And honesty.
Together.

This week’s episode is about the rocks we carry—the anger, bitterness, judgment, and wounds we keep rehearsing long after the moment has passed.

Because sometimes the thing crushing our soul…
is the stone we refuse to put down.

Some wounds don’t leave us angry because they were Some wounds don’t leave us angry
because they were the worst thing that happened to us.
Sometimes they stay because they were the moment someone
stood close enough to see our pain… and still did nothing.

This week on the podcast, I’m talking about the rocks we carry—judgment, resentment, bitterness, offense—and the quiet ways they shape our souls over time.

This episode is deeply personal. Tender. Honest.

“Healing isn’t pretending it didn’t hurt. It’s ref “Healing isn’t pretending it didn’t hurt.
It’s refusing to let the wound become your identity.”

This week on the podcast, Dr. Ansonya Burke and I talk about forgiveness, leadership, emotional healing, and the sacred process of becoming whole after hard seasons.

There’s so much wisdom in this one.
Especially for the people quietly carrying more than anyone knows.

Some stories don’t end the way we expected. Some r Some stories don’t end the way we expected.
Some relationships fracture.
Some seasons unravel us completely.

But grace still has a way of writing beautiful endings.

In this deeply honest conversation, my dear friend Dr. Ansonya Burke shares about healing, forgiveness, wholeness, and learning how to release what no longer belongs in your hands.

This episode is tender, wise, and full of the kind of truth that only comes from walking through fire and finding God faithful in it.
