I wrote this for someone near and dear to my heart as I process the grief I feel through the pain I’ve caused. As I reread it I saw faces of others and the hurt I caused them through my words and also the unforgiveness of others I’ve too held onto. All the toothpaste that […]
We’re not alone in our aloneness. I think most of us~ The vast majority of the population of the world~feel alone in our feelings. Feeling flawed and weary~ tired and frustrated. Even hopeless at times as to the betterment of it all and how and when it will all come about. When that change will […]
I forgot for a moment who I am and what I’ve done. Got swept away by fear and carried off into a forest of forgetfulness. Not remembering the journey I’ve been on and the waters I’ve crossed. Barefoot and bloody, the path at times muddy. I hit the snooze bar on those former ambitions and […]
Some things won’t let go of you~ Like the niggle and the nudge, asking you to budge. To move about with ease and grace to that which occupies and encumbers your space… For me~ this beautiful, Divine, and Holy grip of God has been the long whispered call to ministry. It’s been a slow and […]

There’s something about those full circle moments that seem to draw a beautiful bow around everything. The invisible string and thread weaving our life experience and connecting hearts through the dots. Walking backward through time as if to gather the gold dropped like tiny heaps of bread crumbs all along the way. Clues we wouldn’t […]

Who says you can’t go home… Sometimes you have to really leave home to appreciate it. Sometimes you have to let your soul wander until it discovers just how lost it is.
