Drawing Out Your Husbands Heart | Holy Hygge Marriage
The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out. Many claim to have unfailing love, but a faithful person who can find? Proverbs 20:5-6 What we see in this simile is a comparison of a deep well and a person’s heart. The water in the well lies […]

Happily Ever After | Holy Hygge for the Soul
I was raised on fairy-tales. Most of us were. We saw the beautiful princess get saved by her prince over and over again. We saw these valiant perfectly chiseled men riding on their majestic horses come in and sweep the thin beautiful princess off her feet while saving her from whatever calamity had occurred. We […]

Do you love who you are? Honestly? Do you look in the mirror and love every thing you see? Do you think fondly of yourself and your personality? What does your inner dialogue sound like? Is it truly loving and accepting of yourself? I wish, more than anything, that I could tell you today that […]

Falling Apart Yet Held Together
My life is a hot mess at any given time of the day. Hell it’s a mess even in my sleep and if you were able to join in my dreams you would see the truth to that statement. I do not have it all together. I fall apart on a regular basis because I have a damaged heart. […]

Listening as an Act of Love
I am known for being the friend that listens. I receive phone calls on a weekly basis in which the few words I speak are “Right” and “Yes” as I listen to the words coming from their mouths. Do I have things to share? Is my day crazy? Do I disagree with them? Do I […]

Perfection is A Lie
Writing a memoir about the worst parts of your life is so difficult and yet so healing. Today I am editing the chapter on my hellacious relationship with food over the years. Some of this is so embarrassing. I cannot believe the lengths I went to just to “look perfect” and the irony of […]
