How to Pray for Other People When You Don’t Know What to Say
Prayer, to me, is very special, but it’s also something that I’m still learning a lot about. I am not that comfortable with praying in front of other people, and so I mostly do it in private. Sometimes I will pray aloud and other times I like to write out my prayers, both in a Continue reading

Let’s Have a Funeral
I think it’s natural to do a lot of reflecting on your younger self. To try and connect to the person you were as a kid, as an adolescent, as a young adult, etc. It’s always interesting to recall the things you hoped for and dreamed about, and to notice the differences in what you Continue reading

A Repost for My Fellow Tough Eggs
I don’t have a new post for this week. But I have recently been reading Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking, and so this post from a few years back has been on my mind. Re-reading it was a good reminder that being an introvert does not mean you Continue reading

31 Good Things that Happened in March
It has been a WHILE. The last time I posted one of these was in July of last year! I’ll admit, they can be hard to keep up with. So at first I just put it off for one month, but then I put it off for…a lot of months. But I thought this was Continue reading

A Golden Birthday in Nashville (Part 2)
Monday March 21st, 2022 On Monday, the birthday-day!, our first stop was the Country Music Hall of Fame.

A Golden Birthday in Nashville (Part 1)
About three years ago my cousin Tanner told me and my family that he wanted to celebrate his twenty first birthday in Nashville, Tennessee. Funnily enough, we were in Paris at the time, waiting for the clock to strike ten so that the Eiffel Tower—which we took to calling “Eif”—would light up. Our group Continue reading

Work For and From the Inside
About a week ago my mom, sister and I went to get massages. We’d each received a gift certificate for Christmas and were finally able to make (and keep) an appointment, since the first couple were cancelled due to one of us having COVID. We were very excited, as we’d booked—for the first time ever—ninety-minute Continue reading

A Weekend of Happy Moments
I had a good weekend. I wanted to write about it from start to finish, but the more I thought about it, the more I just wanted to highlight the moments that made it especially good. Because sometimes it’s not always the big moments, the obvious moments, the moments everyone can see from the outside. Continue reading

Pray for One Person in Ukraine
Yesterday, a man at my church prayed for the people of Ukraine. In the past few days, we have all watched the chaos and tragedy caused by the attack ordered by Vladimir Putin unfold. And while it has been heartbreaking to watch, it has also been inspiring to see the resilience and determination of the Continue reading
