Bonnie to Clyde
I want the Bonnie to complete me as Clyde. The girl who makes sense out of nonsense, the person who laughs at your quirks, smiles at your idiosyncrasies, and joins you in your outlandishness. I want her to cancel all our weekend plans and jump in the car and begin an impromptu road trip that … Continue reading
Broken Down to Be Built Back Up
You have to be broken down, beaten to a pulp, have your values and motivations questioned, and be completely torn apart, only to build yourself back up again to find out who you really are.
Thankful
Dear God, I’m taking this time to just say thank you for this moment. Not ask anything or pray for some future time. But just for this. For here. For now. Thank you for this breeze. Thank you for this sunshine. Thank you for this break during my day. Thank you for bringing me to … Continue reading

A Little R&R
I hadn’t been to the beach in a while, so last night, I decided I would pack my beach bag and head there this morning. I always pack the usuals: some sunglasses, a towel to rest on, and of course, my prayer beads and prayer book. After parking in the hustle and bustle of South … Continue reading
