I’m shared this publicly on my personal Facebook because I have nothing to hide, and no shame in Christ, but so far, it either hasn’t reached its intended recipient,!94 they’ve opted to not take me up on my offer. In the event it’s just that it hasn’t been seen, I know my blogs been read…
The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard: For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. About nine in the morning he went out and…
Today I received a call that made the random spike in my blog stats yesterday make sense. I was going to be doing ministry at a local church, that was revoking my permission to do so, because I’ve openly talked about my affair – confessing it – and how God has worked through even the…
It’s taken me a long time to say this, and to address this. It hurts me so much to bring myself back through my personal experience with the damage that was inflicted on me using the complimentarian views on men’s and women’s roles. But as I’ve worked though that pain, moving through the stages of…
To preface, I’d like to state that only some of these are my personal experiences, and that inspiration was drawn from not just my life, but the lives of women around me that I love and admire. Also, I acknowledge that many are my own opinion, and not everyone will agree. That’s fine (but keep…
Let me repeat that: yoga is NOT a religion. Nor does it belong to any one religion. In fact, it’s merely a philosophy developed independently of religion but adopted by religions to enhance worship experiences of the individuals practicing.

I was just telling someone the other day that I wasn’t sure I even cared this time around if I was going for a natural birth. I have a very play-it-by-ear attitude because I’ve seen enough of these to know that they go however they go, so there’s no use trying to control it. But…
One of our Holy Yoga leaders dropped a bomb of truth on us at retreat that was less like my mind was blown, and more like a pebble was dropped into the water, and it just continued – continues – to ripple and effect so many of my thoughts about and prayers to God. She…
At one point during our immersion training last week, time was set apart for us to sit before our leader as she washed our hands in water and oil as a symbol of our cleansing in release of something that no longer served us. As we sat together, going one by one, and I searched…
In my home, I am so blessed to have a designated space for yoga. This is my quiet, sacred space, and I am ever so grateful for it. One of my favorite features to this room is the chalk wall. A few months ago, my husband painted the only remaining blank wall in my room…
I’m en route to retreat to finish my Holy Yoga training, guys. I am and have been consumed with excitement and nervousness and all the feels that go along with those. But I find myself operating from a well of peace within my heart, and I can only believe that it is because He has…
My Gram has this saying about specific moments of her life that I have a whole new appreciation for lately. To understand, I’d like to share with you one of my all-time favorite stories. When mg Gram was in her early twenties, she met a handsome, charming sailor with $45 in his pocket. They went…
