We may not have it all together – but together we have it all. People are messy, but worth it. I’ve been hurt by those who were supposed to love and cherish me, and loved unconditionally by those I didn’t expect – and learned from both how to love better. This blog is about the collective experiences we all share, that we often hesitate to talk about openly, yet that have the potential to draw us together through similar experiences – or share perspective we didn’t know we needed. I hope you find encouragement in the stories and thoughts I share, and pray that your journey brings you ever-increasing faith, hope, and love.
