I feel like a poem, I told DJ tonight(two nights a I feel like a poem, I told DJ tonight(two nights ago), and what is a poem but an attempt to express a feeling without a point? 

he wordlessly held my hand a little tighter and i looked up at the stars and it was then I realized, maybe the feeling is the point. we might very well just be little houseplants with complicated emotions, but maybe the emotion is what separates us from the houseplant. and I took a breath of salt-scented air and listened to the waves softly lapping the shore and if it could all just be exactly what it was, maybe so could I, even if just for tonight. 

(the ocean makes me feel more fourish, and don’t @ me. I know this falls apart eventually but it’s where I was.)
I heard @bethmoorelpm say it was Husband Appreciat I heard @bethmoorelpm say it was Husband Appreciation Day, sooo...here’s the best one. ;) I won’t get too sappy (after all, we have an anniversary and a birthday coming up) but I’m just here to say how much I appreciate him. He works ridiculously hard and somehow still manages to find the time to unload the dishwasher on a regular basis, give me back rubs, and take me to the beach for the weekend. I hit the jackpot with him fo’ sho’.

'Why, we have sixteen (thirty-something?) years to our credit, and we are as happy as queens and we've all got imaginations, more or less. Look at that sea, girls - all silver and shallow and vision of things not seen. We couldn't enjoy its loveliness any more if we had millions of dollars and ropes of diamonds.”

Too much and not enough, all at the same time. I’ve been struggling lately with not knowing how to BE — how to exist in this strange in-between place in which I find myself. And for a girl whose love language is “being understood,” it’s kind of a hard place to be. 😅

Too conservative for some. Too liberal for others. Never really quite enough for either.

Too religious for half the world. Too “progressive” of a Christian for the other half, aka “not religious enough.” And I get it. I used to mock people like that too. But really, all I want to do is follow  after Jesus — it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. It’s a crazy adventure for sure, and definitely not what I ever expected!

This sounds like a whiny post but it isn’t meant to be. I just want to give words to this space, and honor the God who is leading me through it, because really, he’s led me through worse! I tipped my face up to the sun today and remembered that despite anything and everything that goes on in this world, hope has not been—cannot ever be—canceled. Yes, sometimes you have to fight for it, but it’s always always always worth it. 🌿

Valentine’s Day is for the birds and all...but h Valentine’s Day is for the birds and all...but he’s my forever valentine. 😍Here’s a gratuitous picture of us on our honeymoon...THREE AND A HALF YEARS ago.

It’s funny, I recently ran across a very old journal entry from maybe a decade ago. I was going through this stage where I was coming to grips with the fact that I wasn’t going to be married in my early twenties like I’d always thought. And I’d just had the startling realization that maybe there wasn’t something wrong with ME — maybe HE just wasn’t ready. Doing the math, it turns out my future husband was married to someone else at the time. 😆😳 I’m not sure if that’s inspirational or just plain weird and/or maybe a little bit creepy, but there ya go. 💁🏼‍♀️ I got a good laugh out of it, at least. And I wouldn’t trade a single gosh-darn thing. All those years wondering what was wrong with me were totally worth it when I look at DJ and my life with him now.

Ah, life. Que sera sera. I’m so grateful. He is utterly perfect for me.

(And just for the record? There’s nothing wrong with you.)

In November of 2019 I invested $7.96 in stocks on In November of 2019 I invested $7.96 in stocks on Robinhood. It promptly started losing value, and after a few weeks I forgot about it. This morning I randomly decided to check my account and see if there was any spare change lingering.

My stock was up to over $200! 😱😱 like whaaaat. I’m blown away. (Do I leave it and see what happens or do I take it out while my earnings are still 2,301% ahead?!)
