The Thing About Grieving…

The worst part of grieving, maybe even of grief itself, is not necessarily the event that caused the pain. It’s what happens after the funeral, after the diagnosis, after the “I’m so sorrys” and “thoughts and prayers.” It’s months later when active support fades. It’s a year later when a tidal wave of memory and …

Death by Social Media

I love social media. Between FB, Twitter, and Instagram, I am regularly posting, reading, and sharing with friends and followers alike. As a writer, educator, and indie publisher, social media has proven to be a great way to crowd-source ideas, promote work, and build relationships and communities with readers and other writers. As a person …

Take the Limits Off

"Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin..." Zechariah 4:10 Facts: Your personal insecurities can be huge stumbling blocks when it comes to pursuing your purpose dreams.

The Problem with Certainty

When one decides to become a believer, a follower of Jesus, they are essentially releasing a degree of certainty in favor of faith (believing what one cannot see). This is actually true across most religions and faith traditions. Ironically, what I notice happening within Christianity—the American strain, in particular--is people don’t actually do this. They …

The “All the Things” God

Nature is probably where I get most of my inspiration and revelation. I’m drawn to the water, in particular. Yes, as a metaphor but also as a real, powerful force. Some of my most profound times of meditation and devotion have been either on the beach or on the river. But because I am drawn …

Run Your Race

Particularly in light of social media and the fact that we are constantly inundated with the play by plays of our faves' lives, it’s way too easy to get caught up with trying to keep up with other people. Whether it’s that other writer who makes you want throw your laptop out of the window …

Blood Memory: When Story Finds its Way Back

I firmly believe that the ability to tell our stories is the beginning of managing our narratives. For me, I come from a long line of people who understand this at the soul level. Black and Indigenous people (and the myriad of smaller cultures that comprise these groups) have always had strong oral traditions. In …
