Grit & Virtue | Guest Post

If you’re a spiritually-driven female entrepreneur and haven’t heard of Grit & Virtue, allow me to introduce you to your new best friend…   Being a business owner, solopreneur or creative professional – while exhilarating – can be an incredibly lonely journey.  G&V has set out to change all that. I love their vision and mission, […]

A Letter To My Babes: Philippians Style

Sweet friends, you’re in for a treat!  Allow me to introduce you to one of my favorite humans on the planet: Bethany.  I met this amazing woman several years ago through a mutual friend (our bestie below on the left), and we’ve been mutually smitten ever since. Bethany is wise, she is kind, she is hilarious, and […]

Looking Back & Moving Ahead : A Walk Down Memory Lane

Yes, believe it or not, I am still alive.  Alive and kicking, complete with jazz hands. It was over tea with a new friend a few weeks ago that I realized just long it had been.  How long since I’d started this little blog, and how long it had been since I’d actually written on […]

Pallet & Paint Projects

I’ve had this gorgeous bouquet of pallet wood sitting in my studio for months now, with little to no desire to play with it. Occasionally I walk in to find more piled up in my entranceway.  because my husband loves me, what can I say?  Is raw project material a possible 6th love language? I […]

The Studio Makeover

I know, I know.  It’s been almost 3 million years since I first teased you with pictures of dirt and concrete and paint.  Okay, maybe just 4 months.  But it feels like forever since we dug up the dirt around the building to install drainage tile and get the studio makeover rolling, and I’m sure you’ve been waiting […]

Introducing the We ROAR Project

  Oh, sweet friends…I’m just so giddy about this.  THIS! Giddy that this little dream was sparked in my heart on Tuesday – as in, two days ago – in a moment of awkward vulnerability (this seems to be a trend for me), and in the fastest, most glorious gestation period ever…it was born this […]

Sweet Spring Free Printable

Hello, hello! Today is the first official day of Spring, and I am just giddy at the sight of grass and mud and sunshine right now! My wee ones and I have taken several walks through the woods and around the lake and have come home utterly filthy, sometimes shoe-less (due to getting stuck ankle-deep […]

Even Still… [When You Can’t See God’s Hand] & Printable

I was reading in my Jesus Calling this morning about waiting, trusting and hoping, and how the three are intricately connected to each other. How they act as a strong chain, woven around the central cord of trust, connecting our hearts to God’s. And it reminded me how hard it is to rest in Him […]

Master Bathroom Makeover

You guys.  You. GUYS! My loo is LOVELY!  Absolutely stinking gorgeous. Here’s what it looked like before… It was cold, boring and dated. (Although my paint-stick mirror above the toilet is pretty fun!) We ripped up the ugly, old linoleum, pulled out the hideous green countertop (complete with oak trim and green backsplash), and took […]

Cute Valentine’s Day Gift Tags

This is, by far, the bloggiest thing I’ve posted in a long time.  A l-o-n-g time. I’m not sure whether to apologize, or to nod in silent acceptance of your gratitude. I am, of course, way behind on making these little tags – and hence, sharing this project – but there’s always Pinterest.  Simply pin […]

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.

Using ONE WORD, let us know how we can be praying Using ONE WORD, let us know how
we can be praying for you today.

He knows the details, we don't have to.

And if you pray for someone else here,
would you give them a 'thumbs-up' to
let them know you prayed for them?

/ / /

Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made
known to God. And the peace of God,
which surpasses all understanding, 
will guard your hearts and your
minds in Christ Jesus.

:: Philippians 4:6-7
You don’t get strong alone. Growth lives on the ed You don’t get strong alone.
Growth lives on the edge of discomfort.
And showing up matters more than you think.
