“How are you?” “How are you doing?” For some reason, when someone I’m close to asks me these questions, I sometimes stop in my tracks. My brain gets to work, trying to figure out how to respond. I’m still trying to understand why those four, sometimes three, words have such an effect on me. “Fine”…

Today, I’m thankful. Not because it’s Thanksgiving, but because I’m genuinely glad to be here, to be me, and to have lived through everything that has brought me to this moment. I’m thankful for myself. For the strength I’ve found, the courage I’ve summoned, and the wisdom I’ve gained along the way. For the times…

I recently watched a movie with my family about the biblical story of Esther, and when the scene surrounding Queen Vashti came up, a conversation started. And somehow, that conversation got me thinking about voices – not just the ones we hear when we’re in the room, but the ones that speak when we’re not.…

Have you ever taken one look at your messy house and said, “Clean? Tonight? Not me!” 😂 Well, that was me last night. I had reached my tired limit. Actually, I think I had exceeded it, and my brain just went into desperate self-care mode. So, I went to bed. Well… I tried to. For…

This is probably a cliché thought, but I don’t think anyone truly has it all together. We’re all struggling somewhere. Searching. Yearning. Wanting. Needing.

There was a time I used to talk – a lot – about not getting help around the house.I talked until I had nothing left to say. And when nothing changed, I got quiet. Not in defeat – but in reflection. I decided to try a different approach, and while at it, I would do…

I recently read a devotional that reminded me that the details in the Bible matter. One detail I had overlooked for years suddenly stood out: the woman at the well came for water at noon. I had read that story many times without paying attention to the time of day. But when it was explained,…

There’s a song by Kenny Rogers that compares life to a game of cards. Not every hand you’re dealt is a winning one—but survival depends on discernment: knowing what to hold on to, what to let go of, and when to walk away. That idea stayed with me. Because choosing yourself often feels the same.…

Choosing yourself doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks quiet. Unimpressive. Almost invisible to everyone else. It starts with noticing what drains you, and no longer dismissing it. With reclaiming small joys you once postponed. With allowing yourself to imagine a life that feels lighter…happier. Being intentional. This is where many hesitate. Because choosing yourself…
