When did we forget to find magic in the simple things? When did we decide that "growing up" meant letting go of the wonder of the past? As children we would look at everything with wide eyes, taking in everything even though we didn't understand it all yet. Now we're older, and somehow we forgot … Continue reading Wonder
No Time for Caution
hey. it's been a little while, hasn't it? do you have some time to chat? At times, no matter what I put down on this page... nothing that shows up feels like the right thing to say. So I wait, sometimes too long, for just the right words. But sometimes life is too short for … Continue reading No Time for Caution
Tether
Battles are being fought all around us. But have we sight enough to truly see? The people we pass on our daily run, the friends we tag on Instagram, those we love most in the world, and the people we'll never know; we're all broken, hurting people that long to be whole. I thought this … Continue reading Tether
It’s Okay
Friday, March 13. That's the day that COVID-19 and self-isolation became real for me. Before then, obviously I had known about the damage it had been doing around the globe... but it wasn't here. Until it was. Suddenly, the schedule was changed. Everything cancelled. Plans I had built for myself, turned upside down. All it … Continue reading It’s Okay

And y’know, I do the same sometimes. It’s just a natural human struggle. But it's a … Continue reading Turn From Fear

Where maybe we could go back and fix our mistakes, set things right. Maybe we would see the … Continue reading Time
What Linus (and his blanket) can teach us
"That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown." Linus is wise beyond his years. And yet, as many times as I've seen "A Charlie Brown Christmas", it's easy to overlook one of the most beautiful lessons that it carries. In the end of the movie, when everyone does the little Christmas tree up, Linus goes … Continue reading What Linus (and his blanket) can teach us
Foxcroft: Broken Compass
"You have to get out of here, tonight. If you don't, I don't know when the next chance you'll have is." Taro declared, the cover of darkness concealing their whereabouts. "Merrick can't be trusted, he's up to something here and I'm trying to figure out what it is, but I need you two to get … Continue reading Foxcroft: Broken Compass
Anthem
If every action we ever did spoke for itself, what kind of song would they be singing about us? As we really start to get into this new year, I've been thinking a lot about who we are. Who do we want to be known as? What do we want to be remembered for? Maybe … Continue reading Anthem
A New Day
A new year is upon us already, it would seem. There are regrets, there are precious memories that we wouldn't trade for anything. Sometimes, things don’t turn out the way we hoped they would. But that doesn’t mean we can’t change them. We have the chance right here, right now, to say goodbye to the … Continue reading A New Day
