I had a blog planned for today about standing firm, but I believe this has to come first. This conversation has to be had here. This is our race to run. This requires endurance. This demands us to pause long enough to realize white privilege is real, and black lives do matter. On #BlackoutTuesday my … Continue reading Before Standing Firm

Binding Up The Broken Hearted
It's time for another #guestblog, and it's an honor to bring you this one from Sherilyn Sweeney. We met the Sweeney family when we moved to Sequim, WA in the summer of 2014. My time with Sherilyn was short and sweet, but I am forever grateful for her friendship. I have such fond memories of … Continue reading Binding Up The Broken Hearted

I believe as humans we long to be understood. … Continue reading He Understands

I am forced to establish new rhythms rather abruptly; I had gotten used to my quiet, productive moments during the … Continue reading Beloved, Be Loved
Triangles (Try Another Angle)
My counselor recently shared an interesting insight with me. She said there are three sides to every story. Yours, theirs, and what actually happened. We filter so much through our own experiences that we often get a little skewed on reality. I'd take it a step further and say there's your side, my side, and … Continue reading Triangles (Try Another Angle)
