I believe that the most powerful thing we can do for ourselves and for others is share our stories…
This is my blog.
It is a space where I share my thoughts and my feelings.
It is about growth, healing, and the experiences that have shaped me. I write for myself and for anyone else that might identify with the journey I’m on. A journey to become better and stronger through the struggles that might otherwise take us out.
Some posts explore themes like healing, betrayal, purpose, and transformation. While these reflections are honest, they are not meant to identify, implicate, or harm any specific individual or institution. Any resemblance to real people or events is entirely unintentional or symbolic.
I share these stories to connect—not to call out. If something resonates, I hope it helps you feel less alone. If something feels familiar, I trust you’ll read with generosity, knowing that we’re all doing our best with what we carry.

A bad situation, a bad relationship, a bad boss, etc. Sometimes it takes distance before you can look back and say… Read more

You intended to harm me…
Somehow even with everything that God has walked me through in my life, I still get scared when I’m going through something and I can’t immediately figure out the “why”. When I’ve tried on every possible “why” scenario I can think of and none of them make sense, I start to panic. When I panic… Read more

Goodbye Square Squad
So I thought it was all wrapped up in a perfect package. You have Cheap Seats and you have Square Squad. Cheap Seat people come and go, Square Squad people always stay. But nothing in life is a perfect package. What happens when your Square Squad leaves you? Read more

Shifting Expectations
When we truly put our expectations in God, when our expectation is from Him and not from people, we know that no matter how the story twists and turns, God is weaving it all together. We can trust HIM even when PEOPLE (or things, or processes) don’t do what we thought that they should. Read more
