If your world is filled with darkness, it's time to be the light.
I want you to think back to the last time you spent time researching something. Was it flights to visit your family? Maybe you were looking for a new hair salon. Are you thinking back to college and that huge capstone paper you wrote? I am a self-proclaimed lifelong learner, which means I lean into …

My theory is, the more yourself you are, the more you love yourself, the more the universe will love you, too. As a child, I was taught that God, our creator, would love me no matter what. I was taught that as a fact, but it didn’t feel like much. I didn’t know I needed …
My meditation practice, like many aspects of my life, is a work in progress. I’m not as consistent as I would like to be, but still my practice has come a long way. When I started meditating just a few years ago, I overthought how I would sit and what I would think about. I …
I want to empower you with tools for your own journey of self-discovery, acceptance, and love. I’m going to call these sections “Warrior Wednesdays,” because being a Warrior is all about knowing, trusting, and accepting yourself in every way. By knowing yourself, you can live authentically even when the world pushes you in unexpected ways. …

I have been told it seems like I have my life totally together. I’m here to clear that up. I see what you see: I’m 26, newly married, with two sweet dogs and a beautiful little home. I have a great job and space to practice my hobbies. What could be better? Here’s what you …
Note from the author: I almost didn't share this, out of concern for those who would feel triggered, and also because I was protecting myself. Sharing my own suicidal thoughts, worries and emotions comes with the burden of worrying everyone around me, but a very wise friend reminded me that way of thinking is exactly …
When it comes to faith, there are far more uncertainties than strongholds, but there is something I know to be true.
Each month I like to provide my readers a list of inspiration for writing. This isn't meant to be a checklist, or even a daily challenge. Take from these what you will. If you want to write every day, there's a small thought for each one in the month. If you'd rather pick and choose, …
