The Gift of Grief: If Blue Were a Person (Part II)
In 2024, I experienced my fair share of grief, but thankfully, grief looks a lot different than it once did. When my father passed, I was a young woman, but mentally, I was still very much a child, and I handled grief a lot differently than I do now. The beautiful thing about grief is…

The Gift of Knowing Joy: Lessons From a Blooming Flower
One of my most profound experiences of joy came on a day when I was jobless, in debt, no community, and was one step up from what I like to call my rock bottom. If we allow Him, God will meet us in our emptiness; God will meet us at rock bottom. We come to…

It’s almost that time of year again—hummingbird season. I recently felt inspired to put my love for these precious creatures to paper, and I ended up with two very different pieces of artwork.

The Gift of Joy: Trading Anxiety For Gratitude
I recently hit my 200th blog post, and it’s inspired me to write about gratitude which is one of the themes of kamillegrace.com. Truthfully, my blog wouldn’t even exist if I had listened to that voice in my head, the one that told me no one would care what I had to say, and I…

The Gift of Eden: Walking With God
Eden was full of gifts—beautiful surroundings, perfect health, no pain nor suffering, and no death. The greatest gift of all, the gift that made all the other gifts possible, was being able to walk alongside God.

The Gift of a Girl Who Buys Herself Flowers
Lately I’ve been incorporating more fruits and vegetables into my diet, not as a means to lose weight but as an act of worship in the form of self care. At my grocery store, the floral department sits right on the other side of the produce department, so I must pass by it if I…
