Maui & The Impossible (Where Humanness Becomes Our Greatest Strength)
About a week ago I watched The Impossible, which is a movie about the 2004 tsunami that devastated Indonesia. The film focuses on a family that was staying at a resort in Thailand, who all managed to both survive the tsunami and find each other amongst the chaos afterward. Ever since I saw this movie… Continue reading

When You Fear the Unknown, Remember What Else is There
The unknown is not my favorite place. In fact, it is arguably my least favorite place in the world. I like to be in control. I like to know what to expect. I like to prepare for any and all outcomes so that I have a better chance of actually enjoying myself. Now, sometimes, I… Continue reading

The Tour de France is Not What I Thought—It’s Better.
In the last few months, I have gotten very into the slew of sports documentaries available to stream. I love watching people push themselves to their limits and reach elite athletic status. It’s inspiring to see what bodies are capable of, what people are capable of, and it is so easy to root for people… Continue reading

A Prayer for the Comment Sections of the World
While I’ve always known that internet trolls are a thing, and that the anonymity that comes with a screen allows people to say things—horrible things—that they most likely wouldn’t say when put face to face with someone, I have recently been floored by the sheer number of opinions that are thrown every which way at… Continue reading

Be a Thermometer
A few weeks ago, I was at church and our pastor said something that really stuck out to me. He said, “Be a thermometer, not a thermostat.” If you Google the phrase, you’ll find that it has been taught before, in reverse, and often in regards to relationships with other people. This Forbes article discusses… Continue reading

Eat the Cake While it’s in Front of You
My favorite cake in the world is celebration cake from Susie Cakes. Whenever I find myself in front of one, ready to take my first bite, I am so excited, but I am also sad. Why? Because I know that in about five minutes (or less), that piece of cake will be gone. And in… Continue reading

Better Than Advil
“Do you have any Advil?” My sister’s eyes widen, telling me more than she’s telling the rest of the table: an onslaught of cramps, the debilitating back pain that comes once a month. I nod and reach into my purse, pulling out the shiny, circular pill container. I pop it open and she takes two… Continue reading

We All Grow in Different Light
A little over a year ago I walked into a local hardware store. I don’t remember what I was there for, all I know is that on my way to find it I fell in love with a fiddle leaf fig tree that was on sale for $20. I picked it up, carried it with… Continue reading
