The Gospel Within You
Each of us has stories of failure, hurt, loneliness, and regret. We also have stories still to be written of triumph, grace, belonging, and letting go.

Loved As You Are
Loved As You Are You are unique. There’s only one you. Do I tell you that I love you enough? Enough so that you remember the truth of who you are on days when the world isn’t kind? I don’t love you for what you do, what kind of success you have in life, how well you...
Permission to Rest and Renew
Permission to Rest and Renew The “shoulds” rise up when we even start to think about caring for ourselves – taking time out to rest and giving our bodies, minds, and spirits a chance to be nourished and renewed. The invitation of winter is to rest – to lay fallow, to...
Moments of Quiet in the Chaos

Begin
Begin Whatever it is that would deeply delight your heart, begin it - not just because it’s a new year, but because IT IS TIME. And your spirit has been calling out to you for awhile now. The old habits will soon begin to fade. Don’t get caught up in your...
