If you've been reading my blogs lately, you've probably noticed that I’ve been using the words "calm" and "simple" to describe the direction I want for my life these days.Those words have been shaping a lot of my decisions. I’m choosing a slower pace, fewer extremes, and more than a little extra intention about what I take on and what I let go of. I'm getting better at pausing, thinking, and praying before plowing ahead. It's a shift that's working well for me...

The other day I wrote my grocery list on a scrap of paper instead of typing it into my phone like a modern, efficient human.And you know what?I didn’t lose it.I didn’t forget to open an app.I didn’t get distracted by three notifications and end up ordering socks online.I just… bought the groceries.It made me laugh a little...

I’m still under the covers. Eyes mostly closed. Brain not fully online yet. And I’ve got the Dwell app playing — daily Scripture and a short lesson.It’s the easiest win of my whole day.

Did you make a resolution for 2026?Mine wasn’t dramatic.No overhaul. No “new year, new me.”Just this: Calmer.Link to my last blog.That word has been quietly shaping my choices lately — not as an idea, but as a filter. How I schedule my days. How I care for my body. What I say yes to… and what I don’t.I’m less interested in hustle for hustle's sake, and much more interested in steadiness.

I've reached the stage of life where I don’t want ‘more’ — I want to be able to put something down without knocking over three other things. That's it. That's the dream.
