A (Kinda) New Thing

If you’ve been looking for me, I’ve spent the last two years building a new space for women of faith. It’s called Wit + Grace Magazine. I’m so proud of this new project and I pray that the stories inspire you to live a life of faith, purpose, and justice. I recently did an interviewContinue reading “A (Kinda) New Thing”

A Force to Be Reckoned With

*Yesterday I had the privilege of speaking at the high school graduation for the Urban Assembly Institute of Math and Science for Young Women. Here is what I said: Good morning students, faculty, parents, family members, and guests.

Anchored

I have to admit that I have a love-hate relationship with water. I love the ocean but I get seasick when I try to do too much. Last summer, I spent seven days on a boat in Croatia, one of the most beautiful countries in the world. It was literally heaven on earth coasting alongContinue reading “Anchored”

If I don’t know, then I’m not going. It’s just that simple. Some would call that wisdom, while others would call that fear.Continue reading “YES!”

Peace … Be still.

A Better Plan …

“For as long as I remember, writing has been my voice when I felt mute.” With those words, I began my graduate school application essay for Regent University a few weeks ago. I was a few days away from the deadline and wasn’t even sure I would get all of my documents in on time.Continue reading “A Better Plan …”
