Last week, I slept for three days straight, or that is what it felt like. A forced "stop" by the Universe in the form of some virus. I haven't been sick like that for quite a few years now and it really snuck up on us. Monday, I woke up with a slight headache and a feeling that we would be going downhill quickly. Our little girl had been unwell over the weekend and I knew we'd caught whatever she had. As Monday went on, my headache grew and by 7pm, it was a migraine. By 7:30p

As I walked out into the Spring sunshine, the wind met me. She danced with me as the invisible weight left my shoulders. No longer tied down by energetic anchors, I was free to fly. A simple change was all it took. A five minute meeting, a photo, a signature and my world was completely different. A new name and one I chose with my whole heart. I have found my family, a family I adore.

My time and energy is a gift. I give it sparingly to most, But generously to those closest to me.  It is an equal give and take these days.  Life full of nourishing relationships that feed my soul and my need for play.  Spontaneous dates, deep conversations- this is what fills my days now.  Heart full.

“You’ve walked through the fire, but you don’t smell like smoke, how?”  I remember the Sunday afternoon when I was asked this. We were at a local cafe with the new campus pastor when he posed this to me. The church I previously worked for, Generation, had just been taken on by Hillsong.  The fire he was referring to was our years interning, leading and living with the senior pastors.  In the moment I laughed and admitted that I didn’t really know, I just tried to keep a “swee

We’ve all seen this movie before, right? It feels like we've been here before. Maybe in a different incarnation? Remembering is always the hardest part. With everything going on in the world, with Christians bracing for Jesus’ return at any moment- I can’t help but think we’ve been here before, a pivotal moment in history.  When I began deconstructing Christianity I began a game with myself called, “What If”.  I began taking everything I was taught and asking what if? What if

When my first baby was growing in my belly, I used to daydream about what life would look like as she grew. They weren't elaborate daydreams of a fancy house or big holidays; they were dreams about the mundane, the day to day. I dreamt about our afternoons playing together, creating, laughing. I dreamt of the little routines. The soft glow of the lamp in the evening. Building lego before bath time. Snuggles and books before bed. When the kids were younger, those moments seeme
