I’m in love. There. I said it. Let me back up for a minute. This year has been a roller coaster of emotions, mostly leaving me face-down in bed with the covers pulled over my head. Don’t worry, I left enough of an air pocket for my wine. I know you were concerned. So back…

Essential Oils 101
Happy Friday! I am so excited to have a guest “speaker” on the blog today! Tiffany and I worked together a few years ago and bonded over our mutual love of Jesus and all things crunchy (aka holistic)! It is my honor to have her share her journey and knowledge of essential oils with us…
Blue Apron
I’m extra basic when it comes to cooking. I have a few super-simple go-to recipes and I fill in with a shake, a big salad, and prepackaged food like veggie burgers or vegetable fried rice. You might say I’ve fallen into a predictable rut. I’m okay with that, but it can be a little boring….
The Road to Mediocrity is Paved with Frozen Pizza
It gets me every time. I usually begin my day with an extremely satisfying, delicious vegan protein shake: low glycemic, gluten-free, and bursting with chocolate or vanilla fruit-spun goodness. For lunch, I have a whole-food veggie burger. I chop carrots, tomatoes, onions, and bright yellow peppers, add them to organic mixed green baby lettuce, and…
See ya, Strawberry Lemonade
When I was 23 my friends thought it would be great idea to go apply at the Cheesecake Factory, so I went along and we all got hired. The money was great and it was an exciting job, but 14 years later it was beginning to feel like the movie Groundhog Day, and I knew…
New Year, Same Me
Angela, December 31- Up a few pounds because, well, cheese. Wondering when things will finally come together because life hasn’t progressed by standards of the “American Dream”. Also, I live in an attic with my constipated cat and rang in New Years on the couch wearing teddy bear pajamas and commenting on how good people…
Learning to Pray
We all long to see God do big things, and recently I read the book “Moving Mountains” by John Eldredge. John’s message was that we can see great victory and experience God in awesome ways when we engage in purposeful, effective prayer. I am trying! Below is a mash-up of some of what John said,…
Sincerely, Confused
Dear God, I was pretty sure it was time for me to move on and find a new church. I haven’t felt challenged or convicted by the sermons lately, and to be honest it many times just feels like a self-help seminar with a little bit of Jesus thrown in as filler. So, yesterday, I…
Reality Check
I’m just going to put this out there. It can be very disheartening to meet professing Christians who have obviously never actually submitted their lives to the Lordship of Christ. I’m going to follow this statement with the admission that I struggle with sin daily. I am surprised by how easy it is to think…
I’m still alive
Hey, friends (if anyone’s still out there..)! It’s been a minute. Life has been busy! No, I still don’t have a boyfriend, so don’t ask. I have been working, trying to get my beloved direct sales business off the ground, going to weddings, throwing baby showers, and basically out of town every weekend. Even sat…
