Wings to fly

Every woman needs a “Hype Girl”! Someone that doesn’t compete with you. Someone that supports you. Someone that is genuinely excited when you win! Someone that sings your praises to others even when you are not around. We all NEED this type of person in our lives. Are you your own Hype Girl? Are you someone else’s Hype Girl? It doesn’t take much to support someone, sing their praises, compliment them or let them know they are awesome! Try it! I dare you! Be a Hype Girl!

Do you ever wonder if you are where you are supposed to be? Do you question whether or not your life should have been different from what it is right now? Maybe you should have had different parents or different circumstances. However, I want you to know that you are exactly where you need to be. If you are going through a trial, once it’s over, you will have grown far more than you ever thought possible. If you are hurting, you will find healing and be able to use those painful moments to help someone else. If you are feeling lonely, have faith that God will bring the right people into your life to fill the voids. Trust the process. Trust the plan – His plan for your life. You have come to the right place for encouragement, and I know exactly where you are. If you need help talking through those or any other issues, please reach out to me.

Learn to laugh, even in the storms of life. Laughter is medicine for the soul and can be a great cure for those depression filled days. I have often said, “I had to laugh to keep from crying.” Some days that was true. But what I found in that was a shift in my mindset from focusing not on my circumstances, but on what good can come out of even the most difficult times. Sometimes all it takes is a shift in our mindset to be able to weather storms we are in.

Ride the waves of uncertainty and change. The only thing certain in life is that there will be changes. Changes in something as simple as the weather and as drastic as divorce, death, or job loss. If we can learn to “ride the waves” during those uncertain times, we can grow from those moments when the tides rise over our heads. Use the moments when the low tides come in to catch your breath. Take each wave as it comes to you and go with it. Don’t let it engulf you or push you to the floor of the ocean. Rise above your circumstances and ride the waves!

It’s been a while.

I hadn’t planned to step away for so long, but as life often reminds us, sometimes we need to go quiet for a while to truly listen—both to the world around us and the one within. I’ve missed this space, and I’ve missed you.

The past months have been a mix of introspection, stillness, and yes—writing. Not the kind of writing that ends up neatly formatted in a blog post, but the raw, messy, soul-deep kind that slowly becomes a book. Or maybe more than one….

There’s something sacred about stepping away from the noise, away from constant updates and quick captions, to create something that asks more of me. Something that requires time, heart, and a lot of patience. Writing a book is less like building a house and more like growing a garden—you plant seeds, wait, prune, water, doubt, replant—and eventually, you begin to see what it’s becoming.

So, where have I been? In short: I’ve been writing. And wrestling. And rewriting. I’ve been letting stories stretch and settle. I’ve been exploring themes that scare me, excite me, and leave me with more questions than answers. I’ve been learning how to trust the slow process of creating something meaningful.

I won’t pretend it’s been easy. But it’s been necessary.

And now, I’m slowly returning—with new words to share, new lessons learned, and a deeper gratitude for the time it takes to make something honest.

If you’re still here, thank you. Truly. Your presence means more than I can say. I look forward to opening this space back up—sharing parts of this journey, inviting your thoughts, and reconnecting over the things that move us.
