READ POSTCome sit at my table.
Hey there, There's something I haven't quite been able to stop thinking about since I began telling you about The Practice. I keep picturing my own kitchen table. Not the pretty, cleared-off version of it. The everyday one. The one covered in books and paint and scraps of paper and half-finished ideas next to the half-finished sandwich. The place where I've spent so many years making things, writing things, praying over things, and occasionally wondering what on earth I'm doing. I've realized...
READ POSTIt finally has a name.
Hey there, Yesterday, I shared with you that stepping away from prayer art jewelry didn't leave me empty in the ways I expected it might. Rather, it opened space. Space to become curious again. Space to create with joy again. Space to remember that creativity was never about one particular medium. It has always been about paying attention to what God is doing through me. Over the last few months, I've been thinking a lot about the word practice. Over the years, I've taught myself how to do...
READ POSTSometimes the most sacred thing we can do is begin again
Hey there, There is something I’ve been carrying quietly for a long time. Truthfully, I’ve started writing this email more times than I can count because I wasn’t sure where to begin. But, maybe the beginning is simply this… last December, I laid down something I thought I would be creating for the rest of my life. After years of creating prayer art jewelry, I decided to step away. If you’ve been here for a while, you saw me set this down. What you didn’t know was that months before I made...

READ POSTCome Sit a While... Welcome to July on the Front Porch
Hey there, Pull up a chair, we've got coffee, muffins, and a birthday to celebrate! Usually, I do my best to try to schedule a vacation or at least a little extra time off around my birthday which often works out quite well with the 4th just around the corner. However, this year, July 1 has landed on just a regular workday Wednesday so I'm finding some simpler ways to bring a bit more joy into my day... starting with a pickup of muffins from my favorite local coffeeshop, Rainy Day Coffee. The...
READ POSTThis May we are holding space for tender hearts.
Hey there, As we turn the page into May, we’re stepping gently into a sacred space together here at Purpose + Grit. This month, our theme is one that touches every heart in some way—grief. Not just the kind that comes from losing someone we love, but the quiet, often unseen grief too… The prayers that went unanswered.The dreams that didn’t unfold the way we hoped.The versions of life we had to let go of. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline. It doesn’t ask for permission. And more often than not,...
