It is so easy to be paralyzed by fear, anxiety, self-doubt, regret, and all the things we cannot control in this unstable world. How can we drown out all the noise and chaos, examine our hearts and see what we are truly thinking, feeling, and ultimately believing about our lives? And once we unearth what is there, how can we leave behind the thoughts that are keeping us from living a life of vision? I would love to have this conversation with you at my kitchen table in hopes that together, we can take another step forward into the beauty and purpose of our sacred everyday lives.

How do we wake up bravely and find a life that is full of beauty, meaning, and ultimately makes an impact on this world?

Journaling is the intersection of my creative and spiritual life, it is where all my good ideas start, it is where I come to make peace with my life. It is on the pages of my journal that I do my best praying and surrender my life over and over again to God’s plan and the vision He reveals to me one day at a time. Pull up a chair, grab a cup of tea, and let’s talk about how we can use our journals to enter into the deeper beauty of our everyday lives.

Sit down at the table with me as I wrestle to understand grief, how it lingers with us, how it changes over time, and how it can ultimately lead us into a greater appreciation and gratitude for the beauty in our lives. I offer this up as a seed of hope during this holiday season where grief can feel more real and raw than ever. Sending love and light and the hope that even in seasons of great loss, we can wake up to the miracle of this day, this moment, this breath and find the sacred in every single day.
