I never thought I would start a blog thanking Bruce Jenner, but if it weren’t for his Vanity Fair appearance announcing “Call Me Caitlyn” a specific passage of scripture stating “Call me Mara” would not have spoken to me as profoundly as it did. For a while, I couldn’t go more than two seconds without seeing Call Me Caitlyn plastered […]
Learning To Welcome Weakness
I stared at this page for a long time. I started a couple of different blogs before I came back to this blank page. I even left it for a week before revisiting it. I have a million messy thoughts meandering through my mind. For once, I don’t want to share my thoughts because it’s not pretty. […]

God Has His Grace Goggles On
In my not too distant past, my weekends consisted of absurd amounts of time at bars drinking copious amounts of alcohol to numb my pain and make me feel “alive.” Have you heard the term beer goggles? They were a pertinent part of my ensemble on the weekends and I wore them proudly. Once I started drinking, the last guy […]
You Want Me To Blog About Blueberries?

Summer: Significantly Simple
Every time someone asks me where I grew up, with a grin, my mind begins to replay memories from my time in Freeport, Illinois. I moved to Texas when I was two, but I spent every summer until sixth grade at my dad’s in the country. I was surrounded by sunshine, corn fields and gravel […]
Tiffany’s Transitional Transformation Timeline
Tiffany’s Transitional Transformation Timeline. Say that five times fast. It feels good to write again. The topic of transitions has been on my heart for a while, so I’ve decided to finally start writing it even though I have no idea what direction it will go in. I just have to keep typing one letter […]
Heartbreak Happens
About two weeks ago I received a message from a Facebook friend asking me how I have dealt with heartbreak. For starters, I am not a relationship expert nor do I claim to be one. I’ll let Dr. Phil keep his crown. I can tell you one thing though, I feel like because I’ve done […]
