Ideally: Changing the World. Hopefully: Sparking Awareness. Realistically: Talking to Myself.
Gosh it's easy to get knocked off track. Today is Friday, and here in Texas, it's the first normal feeling day I have personally had all week thanks to the winter weather we had starting last weekend. That's actually not true - the winter weather had very little to do with the absolute standstill we… Continue reading Processing… (alternately titled “A mini autobiography leading up to my current existential crisis”)
Ok, so I'm not a particularly huge fan of country music, but who doesn't love a little Martina? Yesterday, we witnessed the Inauguration of the 46th President of the United States and the 49th Vice President, and I am not the first to point out that the day was all about the women. I don't… Continue reading This one’s for the girls
Type furiously, select all, delete, type furiously, select all, delete, type somewhat more slowly and contemplatively, re-read, overthink, worry what the reader will think/that I haven't made my point clear, select all, delete, delete draft. These are steps I often go through with any blog post, but the ones that I have strong feelings about… Continue reading This one might make you a little uncomfortable… It did me
It’s New Year’s Day, and this year is a weird one. There are plenty of posts out there that will break down in detail what a mess 2020 was (and don’t get me wrong, it was), but this is not that post. There are also many posts talking about finding the blessings amidst the destruction… Continue reading There are no resolutions here
In the months since I resigned from my teaching position to "discover how I am meant to serve," and write a book, I have done exactly zero in the area of writing. Actually, that's not entirely true - I have journaled a bit, but nothing coherent, and definitely not anything I would want to include… Continue reading It’s Time to Just Start Writing the Damn Book Already
When first I abandoned this site, it was but a wee baby blog with a few scratch the surface posts and a handful of views. Shortly after the world went crazy in March, I put the whole thing (and most everything else in life that wasn't essential for pure survival) aside and went on full… Continue reading A Brief Recap as We Prepare to Move Forward
I have done this site a huge disservice. There are no fewer than 4 posts in draft form that will likely never see the light of day. I've recently been reflecting on what I want my site to be, and while I still want this to be a place focused on social justice and personal… Continue reading Coming Soon…
And if you feel fine, you either heavily delusional, or you are a much better adjusted person than 99% of the population - myself included. Seriously, what in the actual hell is happening? Two weeks ago, I was on Spring Break at a ski resort in Colorado with my family, hearing about this new virus… Continue reading It’s the End of the World as We Know It
Let me introduce you to my best friend, Jen Hatmaker. I've never actually met Jen, so she doesn't know we're best friends, but we have so much in common that if we ever do actually meet in person, I'm pretty sure it'll be a BFF at first sight kind of situation. I honestly cannot remember… Continue reading I’m on a Launch Team… Whatever that means
Let me just start by saying that if you didn't read that title in song, I might not be the person you need in your life. You'll figure out pretty quickly that I often reference songs, books, and movies; and if you can't get on board with that, well then I'm not sure you can… Continue reading Because I Gotta Have Faith
