Dear The Girl You Once Were- The Woman You Became & The Woman You Are Today, From the time we met, through the summers, into our first days of living together, I remember the girl who I was so attracted to. I knew it was special between us from the very beginning. It was your edge; [...]

February 17, 2014 by · Leave a Comment
I belong to a community of brave voices waiting to be read. What gets me out of bed in the morning, apart from my husband, son and dog, is knowing that there are women in my private communities whose voices are waiting to be read; and they are waiting for mine. We come with cries for [...]

There is no way to dress it up for you not to judge, or for my eyes not to pour quarter-sized tears as I voice my shame. I cannot place my naked truth into poetic flow for it to roll off your tongue, so I am just going to say it: My husband and I [...]
Waves of Holy: a collection of found poetry
February 3, 2014 by · Leave a Comment
I never imagined when I began this journey that the space I dreamed of for so long would become quiet. Navigating myself here today felt awkward. I wondered for a moment if I would even remember my password. Much life has happened since the last time I was here. Chaos and crisis, a movement from [...]

I am the girl who is drowned by vast amounts of space and time. I have no real daily routine. I do wake up each morning, take out my mouth guard, pee, brush my teeth, drink water, jump back in bed and check social media. Many reading this will say that my morning routine was [...]

I knew as a girl combing shorelines, my hair tangled into mermaid curls, that I was destined for deep living- the shore unable to contain me.

Unexpected Wounds- Thriving vs Surviving
January 6, 2014 by · 2 Comments
I never expected my greatest wound to happen. That experience was for others and not for us. We knew who we were. We had a firm hold on our marriage vows. We walked the line between breaking and keeping, tightly. We watched our steps, carefully. We were careful not to cross over. We lived in [...]

Today, I am both grieved and heartened: grieved by the loss of our marriage story as I once knew it; heartened that while a beloved story has been lost, another story is being written. Three years ago today, we plunged ourselves into a fit of truth- the day we’ve since named, Revelation. The day, clenched [...]

Tony and I celebrate 19 years of marriage on the 26th of November and we decided to spend some days of celebration in a city we’ve not visited before- Charleston, SC. I don’t know why we’ve not been until now. It is only a 4.5 hour drive from our home in Atlanta and it has [...]
