• Adventuring into Raw Beauty

    Some of our most memorable moments are captured when we get the privilege of experiencing unfiltered beauty. We stand mesmerized at the stunning rawness.

  • Limerence and Longing

    I didn’t know the word limerence for most of my life.But I knew the feeling.

  • a Gag Order on Grief

    “Grief is not asking for solutions—it is asking for room.” Grief doesn’t just wound the one who carries it. It unsettles everyone who comes near.

  • When Safety is Elusive

    Loving a dismissive-avoidant is like trying to hold water in your hands. No matter how gently you cup it, no matter how carefully you try to contain it, it slips through your fingers. The harder you try to hold on, the faster it runs away. You can see it, you can feel it, you can

  • For years, we sensed something was off. She was bright and creative, but also increasingly distant—eccentric in ways that were hard to explain.

    This year did not unfold the way I would have chosen. It was a year marked by heartache and loss, by challenges that felt unrelenting, by fear that crept in quietly and grief that arrived without asking permission.

    There are moments in life that feel too sacred for words—holy ground moments where heaven leans close and the veil seems thin. I am living in one of those moments now as I walk beside my dear friend, Cherie, who is in the final stages of ALS. The world would say she is dying. But

  • There are experiences in life that carve themselves quietly into the soul. Loving someone who keeps their heart far away is one of them. It is not the kind of pain that startles you; it is the kind that settles in slowly, like a fog that refuses to lift. And over time, it shapes the

  • With the volume Turned Up

    Being a person with big feelings is both a gift and a weight. It means living life with the volume turned all the way up—where emotions are vibrant, convictions run deep, and connection feels like oxygen. For me, feeling isn’t something that happens to me.It’s something that happens through me. I feel deeply. My emotions

  • When I miss the Mark

    There are days when my heart longs to stand out in this world — not for recognition or applause, but as an image bearer of Christ. I want my words, actions, and demeanor to reflect His grace, His kindness, and His steadfast love. I want people to catch a glimpse of Jesus when they cross

  • I’ve learned that when someone refuses to face their pain — when they bury it, deny it, or guard it like it’s something sacred — it doesn’t disappear. It just finds quieter ways to speak.
