Something to remind yourself when life gets hard. You are loved, deeply, beyond comprehension. In choosing this month's imagery, I asked myself one question. Where do I feel the love of God the easiest and the most? I knew the answer before I even completed the thought. On the shore of Lake Superior, that is my heart's home this side of Heaven. It is the place I go to relax and let the cares of this world fall away. I honestly can't tell you the number of times the Lor

Imagine having pages of soulful words written by you, in a moment of peace, calm, and mental release. I know that may cause some of you to think, but I am not a writer. That is not what this is about. What if it was simply about noticing? Noticing: The flutter of the hummingbird's wings. The sound of waves crashing on the shore. The heavenly scent of lilacs in June. The soft fluffy fur of your Maine Coon kitty. That first sip of warm coffee on a crisp fall morning. That fa

Creativity That Transforms Your Life | A Working Journal of Faith, Beauty & Wonder I wish I had given myself permission to do this years ago. To gather beauty without a purpose. To collect photographs, words, colors, and everyday moments simply because they stirred something in my soul. I didn't realize I was creating more than a journal. I was developing a way of noticing God's presence more often. In this video, I'm sharing the creative practice that has quietly transformed

A journal ...on healing & new beginnings...

{My FIRST Welcome video Circa 2020 - It is where I started and is paving the way for where we are going together! :) } The other day I was going through some old videos and I came across this little gem that I had yet to share anywhere. It's funny how life will steamroll your best intentions and dreams; hopefully not forever though. Yes, sometimes, obviously, the most important things need to take priority...like a second breast cancer diagnosis in 18 months and the subsequ

Sacred moments are the little blessings in the day-to-day, that allow me to pause and take notice of the Divine or the Beautiful. For me, t

I find myself drawn more and more to the art of collage. The possibilities of incorporating endless layers of personal meaning really speak to me. Also, it’s a great way to incorporate and play with my photos in new and creative ways. This page is from a new square journal I created over the weekend titled - Breathtaking Simplicity. It’s a reminder, a guide, a place to land and rest from the chaos that tries to steal my day. There's the possibility of chaos, always; and the

When I refer to beauty, I’m pointing to the Divine. Let me explain a little more. I could spend hours sharing with you how grace and beau

People often ask me why I'm so passionate about beauty. Why photography? Why journaling? Why mixed-media art? Why do I believe creativity can deepen our faith?

When I picked up a camera in 2014 everything changed in how I see and experience the world around me. I realized that it was possible to be met with Beauty, love, and grace in the moments I seek it.

Over the past couple of weeks, my heart has felt heavy with conviction and questions, too. Here’s what I know to be true: God really does care about every part of your life. As an artist, I will focus on creativity as just one of the many ways in which He will nurture our hearts and souls in Beauty and truth. Why? Because it draws us closer to Him. When we embrace creativity as a gift from Him, even in the simplest of ways, we step into our purposes and passions that He has s

One of the greatest gifts of the Christian life is that we can never reach the end of knowing God. Yet if we're honest, it's easy to become familiar with the rhythms of our faith. We read familiar passages of Scripture. We say familiar prayers. We move through familiar routines. And before we realize it, we've stopped expecting God to surprise us. Not because He has stopped loving and guiding, But because we've stopped noticing. I've found that one of God's sweetest invitati
