Welcome! This is the sixth post in my 2019 guest blogging series. Bailee Beauchamp, the author of this piece, is a boss corporate lady, fantastic (energetic) dancer, and one of my best friends. Ha, no but for real, Bailee is incredibly compassionate, self-aware, and her spirit is contagious. I'm so thankful for her vulnerability in […]
Welcome! This is the fourth post in my 2019 guest blogging series. Misti, the author of this piece, is one of my best friends. Even though we are long-distance BFFs because she lives in Asia, I'd say we've actually gotten closer since her move because we can relate to each other in a whole new […]
This is the first post in my 2019 guest blogging series. Katey Yurko, Editor-in-Chief of violetfog.com is one of my dear friends and one of the most genuine people I know. She writes on all things skincare and gut health, as well as love stories and emotional advice. In this piece, she writes about her […]
This article took me so long to write. Not because I didn't have the subject matter, but because I was terrified to share my stretch marks. Our world is becoming increasingly pressured for perfection and the pretense is breaking us. This post is about the real and raw effects of vanity, being reminded of how […]
Sunday Thoughts: When you’re young, your parents and teachers guide you in the ways to live life. They teach you to say please and thank you. They teach you to walk once the light turns red. They teach you to have respect, integrity, and honesty. When you’re young, you learn a lot of things to […]
Sunday thoughts: If you believe in Jesus and in heaven you also have to believe in the devil and in hell. A few weeks ago our pastor spoke to us about how one of the Devils biggest weapons is deception. He and his demons love to lie to us about ourselves, God, and reality. Through […]
One question I often get from you guys is: “Why/When/How did you become a Christian?” TBH, it was a long journey and I won’t share it all with you now, but I’ll share one special moment of realization with you. It starts with nature. Do you believe every brilliant flower, stunning mountain range, and powerful […]
I often talk about how my trust is in God and that with Him I do not fear. But, if I’m honest, I don’t always live that way. I’ve wasted days twiddling my thumbs, shuffling my feet, and letting anxiety take too much time/energy. The patterns of my past effectively said: “I know you say […]
Somehow, here we are at December 31st. So it's time for 2017 New Years Eve Reflections. In a nutshell, 2017 was productive. I’ve had time to [create] priceless memories living in London, [cultivate] my passions through writing & photography on my blog, [treasure] a deeper love & respect with/for my husband, [travel] to nine countries, […]
Let’s talk about loving yourself. Weeks ago I got into a car accident. Thankfully, nobody was hurt and insurance covered our car, but I was furious with myself for getting into the accident. My husband repeatedly said, ‘Accidents happen and they’re out of our control.’ Sounds reasonable right? Then why, six weeks later, was I […]
Let’s talk about envy. It’s not talked about much, but is crystal clear when someone is feeling it in his or her voice, expressions, or actions. Envy is such a poisonous feeling because it’s a mixture of love and hate. You love that “thing” or person the other person has but you also hate that […]
