I was scanning through old unpublished blog posts earlier, and I came across one that I had written sometime in the middle of 2019. In it, I had three bullet points. #1: I’m imperfect. #2: I’m ashamed. #3: Wondering where it left me. Honestly, I was out of hope, out of answers and just plain … Continue reading Who I Am

Every Life Matters
I believe full heartedly that life begins at the moment of conception. The moment a child is conceived, a human being has been added to the world. I don’t agree with people who say that it is simply a mass of cells until it reaches a certain point, and then it can be considered a … Continue reading Every Life Matters

Wishing For Words
More often than not, I feel really helpless. I look around me and see so much pain painted everywhere. I see it in the eyes of strangers that pass me in the store. I feel it in the downcast gaze or the lack of words from a family member. I hear it booming through unspoken … Continue reading Wishing For Words
Home (Part 2 of 2)
Kara squirmed. The pew was hard and rigid, but that wasn’t the main reason that she was uncomfortable. She glanced nervously around the sanctuary and tugged at the top of her shirt. It wasn’t that she disliked church. It was just the awkwardness that she didn’t enjoy. She had spent way too many Sunday afternoons … Continue reading Home (Part 2 of 2)
Home (Part 1 of 2)
The smell of bacon hung heavy in the air. Kara breathed in deeply and a smile spread over her acne-ridden face.

Kara grabbed a piece of homemade sourdough bread and layered it with juicy slices of tomato, … Continue reading Home (Part 1 of 2)
Dear Self, Keep Writing

Idols

Where’s My Life Going?

Tears: Weakness or Strength
