The Other Conversation Christians Should Be Having About Fifty Shades
I talk about sex a lot. In public, none the less. And I love it. As the demand for this particular talk has grown, and as I’ve bravely shared my own messy story, the regularity with which I get asked awkward questions has grown too. I love that part too. It has afforded me the […]
Tees That Touch Lives
Ever since designing shirts for Union28 several years ago, I’ve wanted to create more. I love the idea of fashion with a mission. I haven’t stopped thinking about it. But the burden of having to order the correct sizes in colors that actually sell, not to mention the upfront cost of purchasing stock – enough […]
Good News For The Weary Woman
It happens every time I tell the story. I’m right there. In the muck, in the shame. In the hopelessness. I can feel the grip of self-loathing tighten around my throat. My heartbeat quickens as the fear of exposure whispers; You are such a mess. You are worthless. You’re finished. It’s just for a second. […]

Homeschool, private or public? After breast or bottle, home or work, to vaccinate or not…this is the big, looming question. For some it’s a no-brainer.

I also wildly heart the United States. Mostly Michigan (because […]
Redeemed : A Story of Broken Made Beautiful
I had become an expert secret keeper. I’d been swept up so fast, and so young, in a whirlwind of self-destructive behavior that the only way to keep breathing was to keep pretending everything was alright. And so I built walls of deception and lies in a desperate effort to keep the world from seeing […]
I Simply Cannot Live Without… {My Favorite Things}
Forget whiskers on kittens and bright copper kettles! Give me a hot cup of tea and some chia seed pudding any day of the week and you’ll have my heart! (I do love a good brown paper package tied up with string, though. Especially if it contains a can of coconut milk or a pair of Warner’s anti-muffin-top […]
Set of 4 Coffee Inspired Printables
I find that there are people you meet in life who make you want to drink. And then there are those you come across who make you want to drink coffee. Or tea. Or hot chocolate. Really any warm beverage you can sip slowly – together – will do, if it gives you a few […]
