Hey Reader heeeeyyyy! As we stand on the edge of a new year, I’ve been reflecting — not on everything I did in 2025, but on who I was becoming as I walked through it. Last year, I felt nudged to rethink how I approached vision casting.I still love a good vision board — but 2025 invited me into something different.Something more spacious. More JOY-led. So instead of goals alone, I paid attention to fruit. My #VisionBingo board for 2025… 2026 is loading! Here are my Top Five from 2025 — not as...

Hey Reader heeeeyyyy! Christmas week is officially over and the new year is right around the corner — cue the cocoa, cookies… and the creeping overwhelm of “New Year, New You” Resolutions. But before we get there, just in case you need it – let me share a small but freeing truth: Overwhelm isn’t a sign you’re failing.It’s a sign that your JOY rhythms (and systems!) could use a reset. So if you only take one thing from this note, let it be this:Keep it simple. “Are you ready for Christmas?”...

Hey Reader, heyyyyyy! Happy FriYAYYYYYYY! I’ve got a bit of a storytime for you today — one I believe will set somebody free. Because this is the JOY I want for you every day (👇🏾). Like legit. When was the last time you felt like your life was a movie? Lol “...Is the marriage good?” The question caught me off guard.Not because I didn’t know the answer — but because of everything it brought up. I hadn’t seen my aunt in over 12 years, and the last time we talked, I was in my late 20s. Since...

Hey Reader, heyyyyyy! Happy Tuesday! Today I have a bit of a testimony to share in hopes that it helps you see this season of your JOYrney™ with a new light. Some of you may remember earlier this year when I shared how scared I felt stepping into a new direction — speaking more openly about scripture, faith, motherhood, identity, and JOY. 👆🏾This was my legit feels the day before hitting “publish” on that newsletter and a subsequent LinkedIn post. 🙈 I told you I felt: unqualified (no seminary...

Hey Reader, From the bottom of my heart – 🥹 Because of your encouragement, prayers, and generosity, we did it! Last week we put together our very first Light & Life Kits… and within 15 minutes they were all gone — I’m talkin’ DUNZO! 😅 Teens, preschoolers, and adults alike received reminders of God’s light and life on October 31st — a day that typically glorifies the opposite. I promised you an update of how it went, so let’s dive in! A Family Project Turned Mission Moment In the week leading...

Hey Reader, Over the past few weeks, I’ve been talking a lot about what it means to walk in the light — to live freely in who we’ve been called to be, even when the world celebrates something different. So with Halloween being tomrrow, I’ve been reflecting on what it means to actually be the light — especially as a mom raising little ones in a world that often glorifies the opposite. Because honestly? As much as I enjoy a good opportunity to transform through dressing up, I can’t get behind...
