My own reflections — personal and professional —
about life, healing, faith, and relationships.
May it be a space for talking about real and hard things,
and an invitation to join the conversation.

You can’t withhold your heart: Making sense of my year as a foster mom
The mystery of healing
Why attachment is my jam
It would be an understatement to say that I’ve had “attachment issues.” More honestly, “attachment issues” have defined a lot of my life.

Using what you’ve got
In so many ways, I am not the 35 year old I planned to be. I imagined being rooted, living in a small suburb somewhere with a husband, and kids…and maybe a dog. Like so many of us, I imagined a typical, simple life. People say our generation changed the way the world does things (those millennials!) — we’re into travel, and chasing after dreams, and living unconventionally — but I think it goes both ways.
