I attended a funeral today and it was mine. In that casket lay, not a woman, but all the brokenness I was carrying.

What does this look like for you? How do we confront and sit with ourselves in our own trauma? We can no longer hide or walk away. What happens when we …

Hello Beloveds, The first thing I heard this morning was when the shoe doesn’t fit, which immediately made me think about Cinderella.

Hello Beloveds, Today I want to share a quote: "Change is supremely inconvenient, uncomfortable and naturally scary.
