A few weeks ago, some of my 2021 seniors asked me my thoughts on going through sorority recruitment in college. I’ve touched on my sorority experience in blog posts before — I was an active member for the first three years I was blogging — but now that I’m four years removed from the experience,… Read More My Sorority Experience
This morning, I woke up, went on a run, showered, and then I wrote this in my journal: God, I’m mad at You. Yesterday went to trash so quick and I want to believe You are good but I’m struggling. Why did my friend’s dad have to test positive for COVID? Why did our house… Read More I’m mad at God.
Weeks before I got married, I remember breaking down in my childhood bedroom with my parents and my husband-to-be wondering what happened to me over the last 23 years that lead to so much sexual brokenness.

Read more about my reasons and the effects being off social media has had on my life since 2018 on Maggie’s blog. While I did feel… Read More I LOST 1/4 OF MY BODY WEIGHT IN 9 MONTHS!
This is long overdue. My blog is not active. I’m not on social media to promote myself. Maybe it doesn’t matter. It’s a rainy evening after the first day of (virtual) school, and I’m listening to Piano in the Background.
