I've been keeping journals since I was in the 3rd grade and I'm so glad to share some of my most intimate life moments with you here!  Here, you'll find inspirational and encouraging stories of me and other broken people like me. We are all jars of clay who have been afflicted in every way, but not crushed...struck down by not destroyed.  Here, you do NOT have the right to remain silent, so as you read, grab your favorite snack and drink and leave a comment...share YOUR story. I can't wait to connect with you in this beautiful safe space. 

welcome to my

journal!

Surrounded by mountains and beaches,  it’s got the best of both worlds! So whether you’re a beach lover/beach bum like me or someone who loves the mountains…also like […]

FUR RONDY 2016 | THINGS TO DO IN ALASKA | WINTER

This past weekend, we headed downtown Anchorage to be a part of Fur Rondy 2016 and while it’s still going on, I gotta say, so far it’s been an AHHHHMAZING experience!
