NON-FICTION
I began writing several years ago blogging as a way to record and process my life. I believe in living life out loud, so I invited others into my journey. My writing topics cover the issues that many of us face in life such as relationships, work, and faith. Life can be messy and hard, so I’m not afraid to touch on topics like mental health and the never-ending process of grief and loss in this fallen world. As difficult as this world can be at times, there is so much joy and beauty to be found even in the brokenness. My hope is to help others find hope and humor on their own journey.
