This blog is rooted in a desire to be authentically vulnerable, honest and encouraging. The hope is for its words and stories to remind you that, no matter what you're facing, you're not alone.
Yesterday will be one of those days I remember for the rest of my life. My day began with me waking up early (which most of you know is rare for a night owl like myself) to read some verses, journal and go for a run. It was a beautiful day outside and I enjoyed my commute... Continue Reading →
