I'm on a mission
to savor the art
of everyday life.
I don't think we have to go far to find beauty and delight. I'm convinced they're all around us, tucked into the mundane pockets of daily life. A great outfit, a frothy cappuccino, a storybook sunset—this all art. And we get to participate in it. If I've learned anything in my 26 years, it's that life is hard. But God is good.

Being a writer was never a question. It just was. I started a fashion blog at thirteen called A Rose and Her Clothes and have hosted multiple blogs since. But expressing that creativity consistently didn't last.

I've been writing since I could hold a pen.
MY STORY
MY STORY
I spent many years defeated and depressed, convinced my life and creative dreams would start "someday" when I didn't feel stuck or sick. I felt like the creative world was passing me by—and honestly, all of the world.
I spent many years defeated and depressed, convinced my life and creative dreams would start "someday" when I didn't feel stuck or sick. I felt like the creative world was passing me by—and honestly, all of the world.
When I was 15, I started experiencing mysterious autoimmune symptoms.
Life is hard. But God is good. And there is goodness, beauty, and delight all around to enjoy if I'm willing to acknowledge them. Mundane moments are the best blank canvas. And I don't have to wait to feel better to start acting on my goals and dreams.

Things finally changed when I started believing deep in my bones that:
I've experienced a breakthrough in my creativity, in my faith, in my healing, and in my health. I've learned that hope isn't optional—it's essential. So now I like for it everywhere.

So I did. And now?
— In a great outfit
— in a delicious meal
— in my marriage
— in my prayers
— in my morning coffee
Sometimes a frothy cappuccino, a smile from a stranger, or the right song at the right time are glimmers of light in the dark or hope in the hard. If one of my essays, videos, or posts brings you a swell of encouragement or inspiration, I've done my job. Join me in this journey—I'd love to have you follow along.
