She Left Paw Prints on my Heart

May 2, 2020May 2, 20205 Comments

This past Thursday on April 30, 2020, Foxy, our beloved Shiba Inu, passed away. Jared and I had the blessing of being her hospice care for the last 38 days of her life. We started fostering her a month after Jared and I started dating in 2013, we don't know what life looks like without … Continue reading She Left Paw Prints on my Heart

2020 Powersheet Prep Party

December 19, 2019February 20, 20205 Comments

Friends as you all know, I am a huge fan of Cultivate What Matters. Powersheets have changed my life- even with a chronic illness (check out how I use them here!) In 2018, I got two of my very good friends to order powersheets for 2019. We get together monthly for powersheet prep dinners where … Continue reading 2020 Powersheet Prep Party

We’re Engaged (well now with a ring!)

January 11, 2018January 11, 20186 Comments

"As he stood next to me to take the photo, Jared whispered that he had something better for me to post about tonight..." That's right... we're Engaged! While we were on vacation with both of our families, we finally did "the ring thing." For those who do not know Jared and I did not get traditionally … Continue reading We’re Engaged (well now with a ring!)

Am I Unlovable?

October 23, 2017July 18, 20181 Comment

Chronic Illnesses have many layers and effect many different area of our lives. One of those areas that is always tough to think about or talk about is being loved. I spent most of my teenage years believing I was unloveable. As many of you know, these past couple months have been significantly tough on … Continue reading Am I Unlovable?

Breaking the Silence that comes with Tragedy

October 20, 2017Leave a comment

First and foremost, while I have been in and out of the hospital, I want to thank my followers because after only having this blog for a little over a month I made it into the "Top 100 List for Blogs about Chronic Illnesses." All of that is because of you guys- so thank you! … Continue reading Breaking the Silence that comes with Tragedy

Today is just one of “those” days.

September 14, 2017September 14, 20171 Comment

You know those days. Those days when your judgement seems clouded and you've lost control. Those days when nothing goes right and you're body fights you... and you don't even know how to fight it or even start to beat it. Well today is one of those days. One of those days where you don't … Continue reading Today is just one of “those” days.

Maybe we just need a little more patience.

September 13, 20171 Comment

A couple nights ago, Jared and I spent some time in prayer before heading to bed. We haven't prayed together, outside of the prayers he says with me before I head into a procedure (which I never really pray because I am normally a bit emotional before going in or under,) in a while and … Continue reading Maybe we just need a little more patience.

Happy #tendinglisttuesday 🎉
This is the statement I want to start off with as we kick off #EDSawarenessmonth
Living with open hands is hard, but God does some of His best work through open hands. Imagine if we never let confetti go - we would never see the full beauty of it.
I was thinking about how important this Saturday is and what it represents.
Last night, we completed the first quarter of the Grace + Goals Accountability Collective and I am beyond grateful and so encouraged. I haven’t taken a leap of faith in quite a while because I couldn’t bear the thought of hoping for something and being disappointed.
Lean into this season; that is what I desire to do this quarter.
