I’m building a subscription list to my blog post updates and exclusive content and I’m inviting you to be part of the first group of subscribers. If you currently receive my post by email on the day they are released, that service will be going away, so I encourage you to subscribe below.

I will not use your email address for anything more than my personal blog newsletter that will share my latest blog posts and other seasonally relevant links.

Last month I celebrated 12 years since I started this blog. It’s crazy to think about all that I was dealing with during that time as I started a personal journey with cancer. Following those days, this blog continued as a journal of life after cancer; the emotions and physical things I was experiencing. Then for the next 5-6 years, it was a creative outlet as a place to record life in my new normal and the adventures life was bringing me as a single adult navigating home and then making a big career move to a new city.

What has been faithful is God’s provision and protection and constant support of family and friends as I’ve honed my writing, designing and technical skills to bring this blog to where it is today. A thirty something, mom of a toddler who love to cook for her family, share big sister chats, and write about what’s marinating in my heart.

Thank you for supporting me through any part of this journey and subscribing so you can stay in touch and updated when new content comes along!
