Healing Doesn’t Mean Back to Normal
Good morning, beautiful 💋 One of the things I am learning about healing is that it rarely happens the way we imagine it will. We tend to think there will be a moment when everything suddenly feels normal again. A moment when the pain is gone, the scars have disappeared, and life picks up exactly…

Disappointment Didn’t Get the Final Say
Good morning, beautiful 💋 Over the past couple of weeks, I have found myself sitting with disappointment more than once. Some disappointments showed up in professional spaces.

Good morning, beautiful. ☀️ As we close out the month of May, I find myself thinking about fear. Not the big dramatic fear that makes headlines or announces itself when it walks into the room. I’m talking about the quiet fear. The fear that shows up at 2:00 in the morning when you’re alone with…

It Doesn’t Have to Feel Good to Be Working for My Good
Good Morning Beautiful, By the time you are reading this, I am either in surgery or just coming out of it, and even writing that feels surreal. There are so many emotions sitting with me right now. I feel nervous, I feel curious, I feel a little unsettled by the unknown, and at the same…

Soft Does Not Mean Silent
Hello Beautiful, This week I learned something that I did not fully understand before. Building a soft life does not mean life stops asking you to do hard things. It does not mean pain disappears. It does not mean you never have to raise your voice. Sometimes building a soft life means standing firmly in…

This Was Not the Friday I Planned and I Am Learning to Be Okay With That
Hello Beautiful, Over the last two weeks I have cried more tears than I have in the last two years, and if I am honest, I am not always sure what all of those tears were for. Sometimes they came while I was talking. Sometimes they came in silence. Sometimes they came on the drive…

Ask for the Thing
Good morning, beautiful, Every time I walk into my guest bathroom and see those whimsical candles sitting there, I smile a little and remind myself of something important. They are colorful and a little magical, sitting inside these beautiful iridescent glass containers that catch the light in a way that makes the whole room feel…
