We all experience joy in our lives, even if it’s just for a moment. This week of advent we celebrate joy. There are many joys in the Bible’s Christmas narrative, but one encapsulates them all: the Messiah is coming!

Christmas Classics: The Little Match Girl
Hans Christian Anderson’s The Little Match Girl has always seemed depressing, and never fit the fairytale genre to me. Yet, it holds its own kind of hope (albeit in a depressing way).
Second Sunday of Advent: Peace
We all want peace, don’t we? As an enneagram 9, I truly long for peace- both internally, and between those around me. Yet, there are false peaces…
Christmas Classics: The Three Kings
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was a well-known, 19th-Century American poet, astute scholar, and world traveler. Though The Three Kings is not his most popular work, I wanted to share it with you, in the spirit on the Christmas season.
NaNoWriMo Week 4
Well, the truth is, I did not hit the 50,000 word mark for NaNoWriMo- at least not on the book I was working on. I did more like 28,000 words, but that’s okay! I figured out I have too many different projects going on at once to really sink my teeth into one at theContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Week 4”

As we are in 2020, I thought I would share 20 things I have been thankful for in the last year: My faith is the foundation of my life.

NaNoWriMo Week 3
So far, I have to admit I have a love/hate relationship with NaNoWriMo.
