More Than One Way
Frustrated, I lowered my head and let a few tears stream down my cheeks. “This isn’t how I planned it,” I whispered as I considered how scrambled my plans had become. What was once a clear road to success seemed congested detours, and uncertainty made me question if I’d arrive at all… | More Than…

Why Not?
I was on a roll typing a completely different blog, then I deleted it for this. | Why Not? | This blog is inspired by the conversation that I just had with my co-worker less than five minutes ago. “I really want to move out of state. If I don’t move out of state, I…

A Peace of 30: The Turning Point
With every step closer to 30, I felt different. I knew I had been undergoing transformations, but this felt like more than self-discovery, and it wasn’t like some of the transitions from before.

This or That, or Both: Removing Limitations
Preface: I have been wrestling with blogging from the title “This, That, or Both” for about the last 3 weeks. In standard Christen fashion, I talked myself out of it because, truthfully, I was talking myself out of everything (I’ll explain more later). Some time ago, my Pastor preached a sermon from that title and,…
