Small Seeds of Faith & April Goals
“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin”. Zechariah 4:10 So much growth happens in the quiet, consistent, and unseen moments of our lives.

Embracing the Transition
In March winter is holding back and spring is pulling forward. Something holds and something pulls inside of us too.Jean Hersey It’s the early days of Spring here in the Midwest, one day we are firing up the grills for a summer-like 60-degree day, and the next we are pulling out the shovels and snowblowers…
Highlights of 2021 + My Fave Reads
2021 was a year of growth, grit, God’s goodness, and heaps of grace. There were long & hard days, and weeks that flew by in a blink. There was a LOT of laughter and tears. And yet, I wouldn’t trade the lessons learned or memories made. It’s through the good, hard days that I’m constantly…

Flourishing Friday – Lilac Life
It’s the most magical time of year…lilac season! Last year my friend quipped “You don’t choose the lilac life, the lilac life chooses you!” and it’s made me chuckle and feel so seen at the same time. There is something magnificent and magical at being on the look out for lilacs all over. I notice…
What Needs Tending & May Goals
Last evening, I spent some extra time in my home gardens planning and dreaming. It was a welcome respite after a day of office work and catching up. In the early Spring, I typically spend so much time planting gardens at ZA that my home gets the leftovers. Last year I literally planted whatever seeds…
When You Need a Fresh Start (Live by your Values)
Faith. Purpose. Community. Margin. Beauty. The five words are the anchors of my days. They help me remember what God has called me to in this season. My days can look incredibly varied and different: somedays it might mean waking up early for a sunrise walk to get movement in before a full day of…
