The Gift of That Vintage Sweater
Back in 2016, I owned a sweater—a vintage turtleneck I thrifted and paired with a black mini skirt, panty hose, and black suede high heel boots. I loved so many things about the sweater—it’s uniqueness, the “old world” Victorian appearance, the bright red and black contrasted with baby blue and a touch of light pink.…

The Gift of a Daughter’s Joy
I was about five years old when my father took me out to eat at The Cracker Barrel— it was without a doubt one of my fondest father-daughter memories. After we ate, we found ourselves browsing through all the goodies in the shoppe. My eyes lit up the moment I came across a beautiful stuffed…

The Gift of Two Dozen
I decided to order a piece of Cobaltoan Calcite and a chunk of Rose Quartz to commemorate this era of my life, to celebrate my first two books—“The Gift of a Dozen Reasons” and “The Gift of a Dozen More”. To me, the bright pink color symbolizes joy. This is why I chose bright pink…

The Gift of Gratitude: Giving Birth to Joy and Peace
The common theme in my two books, “The Gift of a Dozen Reasons” and its sequel, “The Gift of a Dozen More”, is gratitude. In gratitude, we glorify God for all He’s done for us, and He in turn fills our hearts with true joy. In gratitude, we find peace in various trials. When we…

The Gift of Being Yourself
What’s the one thing you have to offer the world that no one else has? The one unique thing you have to offer is you. Be you! Always be you; everyone else is taken. I drive by this house almost daily, but for some reason, the other day, that bright pink door spoke to me.…

The Gift of a Fallen Thing
During my walk the other morning, I noticed many leaves had fallen to the ground. Even in their fallen state, they were still beautiful; they still had purpose. As leaves decay, they add organic material back into the soil. Further, critters ranging from turtles to birds and mammals rely on leaf litter for food, shelter,…

The Gift of Facing Fear
I’ve struggled a lot with confidence to post about my faith. Ironically enough, my faith is the one thing I post about the most. It’s because I refuse to let the enemy win, and what he wants is for me to keep quiet. He wants us all to keep quiet about our faith and most…

The Gift of a Gracefully Broken Girl
Currently listening to “Gracefully Broken” by Tasha Cobbs What does it mean to be broken? To be broken is to be damaged or no longer in one piece. But what about gracefully broken?
