An open letter about depression
*I was first diagnosed with depression when I was in college but I can say with some certainty that I have struggled with it for most of my life. In light of recent events and a current battle I am going through, I felt it was important to write this letter. Dear friends and family, … Continue reading An open letter about depression
Home again
I'm stubborn. People kept telling me how amazing "The Greatest Showman" was but I didn't think it looked all that interesting, so I just kind of nodded and went on my merry way. Then one night, my husband and I decided to not just rent the movie, but buy it. Because apparently that's what we … Continue reading Home again

I apologize I've gotten so behind as a result of my sickness. This blog will be my last two for the 12 … Continue reading Days 11 & 12

I love feasting on … Continue reading Day 10
Day 9
It may seem like the wrong holiday, but I started making a mental list of all of the things I am thankful for and I thought I would share it with you all. My husband. I could say this every single day for the rest of my life and I still don't think I could … Continue reading Day 9
Day 8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFEwV77n1Ng I heard this song a few weeks ago and I found it to be so encouraging. I think it has a message that so many can relate to in a very real way. The line that really struck me was: If all I know of harvest Is that it’s worth my patience Then if … Continue reading Day 8
