Hey, there, friend! Welcome to my corner of the internet!

the inevitable bit of humor

…you just may feel at home here.😊

I’m an old soul who’s young at heart…and that oxymoron just about sums up my entire existence.

I love deep, complex classics (think Jane Eyre and A Tale of Two Cities) and Jan Karon’s lighthearted tales of Mitford.

Scrambling up steep ridges in the woods and curling up with a journal and a yummy latte have equal places in my heart.

I could jam and banter with siblings and fellow twenty-somethings for hours, and yet I could say the same thing about sitting around a kitchen table with elderly friends and listening to the stories they’ve lived.

I just love life: in all of its beautiful rawness.

I think that’s why I write.

To capture the joy of living in words. To hold out the hope that shines from my Savior even in the darkest of nights. To marvel at the wonder of the daily miracles God sustains.

Isn’t He so good?

some of my favorites…
