Even after having your baby, your pain doesn’t go away. It’s still present lingering and it’s okay to still have moments that hurt. Wounds and scars are two different things, but they’re both reminders of the pain that was present.

After two miscarriages and now having my rainbow baby, here is how I approached healing and the steps that helped me in my journey.

Are you too busy working that you aren’t living your life?

Reflecting on the last two years of marriage.

I've been doing long distance friendships for over five years now. It's so hard, but it can be so worth it. You just have to know when to keep trying and when to let go.

I've had some weird ups and downs with friends. Sometimes I have really great friends and nearby and other times I'm pretty isolated. I'd say I'm only just now, two and half years into living in Tennessee, getting settled in with a group of women that I love, who understand me and who I feel comfortable with. I had that in Michigan in high school, but, a lot has changed since then and although distance makes the heart grow fonder, the distance is still there.

One of my favorite things about God is how much He cares about the details of our lives.

Discussing my experience with new-ageism and how it can be dangerous for Christians to mess with.

I don't quite view my health journey the way that most people do, so I want to share how I do view it. Maybe it'll inspire you to value your health journey in a slightly different way.

Growing up I remember thinking about my weight a lot. I was very self conscious and always thought I was considered overweight. That is, thanks to the BMI test we had to do at school. What a load of BS that test is.

I knew going into postpartum that caring for my body was going to be hard. I was absolutely correct. Here’s what I’ve learned and a few tips if you’re trying to take better care of your body too.

TW: I know that this topic can trigger some people, so if you can't talk about body image, weight loss or issues pertaining to health & wellness, skip this post.

Quitting isn't cute, but walking away because something is over or it's worse for you to stay mental and physically- that's not quitting. That's knowing when it's time to move on.

There's more to life than finishing everything & hitting every goal. Perseverance is a virtue, one that God talks a lot about, absolutely. But sometimes our view of goals and accomplishments differ from reality or what God wants for our lives.

How easy is it for you to dream?

Do you quickly fall into hazes where you picture the future full of possibility and exciting moments?

Do you find yourself staying in that place of hope and excitement? Or do you, like most of the world, myself included, knock yourself right out of that state and back into reality before you have time to even let it flourish?

Sharing my personal story about some of the things that have been going on lately in my life & encouraging you to share yours.

When I think of spring I see it as a season of new growth, a chance to bloom and blossom. A chance to rake out what you don't need & replace it with what you do.

I'm supposed to love this, right?

I'm supposed to jump in the middle of the night with a smile on my face, happy to meet my baby's needs.. right?

I'm supposed to forget about myself completely, as long as he's happy.. right?

I'm supposed to put away my own selfish ambitions and simply focus on him... right?
