The Sweet Perks of Baking at Home: My Go-To Cinnamon and Vanilla Muffins.
There’s something truly special about baking your own cakes at home. It’s not just about the end result — it’s about the whole experience: the familiar smells filling the kitchen, the satisfaction of creating something from scratch, and the simple joy of knowing exactly what goes into your food.

Provision Is Not a Privilege: Why I Refuse to Build With a Broke Man.
For centuries, across cultures, continents, and civilizations, one truth has remained constant: women are wired to be cared for, protected, and provided for. It is neither entitlement nor arrogance; it is nature. It is the very design of balance between the masculine and the feminine.

Eat the Color Back into Your Day.
A Sweetcorn and Avocado Wrap Recipe Full of Life and Comfort. Some days move slowly. The hours stretch out, soft and heavy, and even the simplest routines feel a little heavier in your hands. It was one of those days — a day made for staying tucked inside, keeping company with warm drinks, quiet thoughts, and gentle persistence.

Bad Dates, Dead Monkeys.

Solo. Fearless. Unstoppable: Meet the Woman Who Rides Across a Continent.
It began with a restless night. I had woken from a troubled dream—the kind that lingers, leaving a hollow ache you can’t quite name. After whispering a prayer into the stillness, I reached for my phone, hoping the familiar scroll of Instagram reels would soothe me back to sleep.

In Full Bloom.
Today was one of those days. The kind where even getting out of bed feels like a heroic feat. I lay there, tucked beneath my blanket, the world feeling distant, and my to-do list whispering at me from a corner I refused to face. I’d held my wee for so long it was beginning to feel like a metaphor for all the things I was holding in—discomfort, frustration, pressure, hope. And yet, there was also peace. A strange, stubborn kind of peace in admitting that today, I simply didn’t want to try.

The Word and the Wound.
L ost in sacred ink I nterpretations diverge E den fades to grey (Acrostic: LIE) (Haiku: 5-7-5 syllables) When the sword of the Spirit is dulled by distortion, we must sharpen it with discernment.

10 Things I Love About Myself.
When I first read about this self-appreciation challenge, I had to laugh. I mean, look around—the internet is brimming with self-appointed empaths pointing fingers at narcissists, threads unraveling every trait as a red flag, and people whispering about self-love like it’s something to be suspicious of. So, when Rick Henry Christopher threw open this challenge, my brain interpreted it as someone finally daring to say, “Hey, let’s talk about what we like about ourselves,” it felt bold. Refreshing, even, a delicious license to soak in the parts of myself I don’t always celebrate out loud.

A Sonnet to the Slightly Charred and Deeply Divine.
Upon a plate, my humble throne was laid, With parsnip spears both crisp and pale with fire— Some kissed too long by heat, some shy, afraid,

Breaking the Silence: A Letter to the "Church" That Taught Me the Hard Truths.
Introduction: I know many of you have walked a similar road—one where the “church” was meant to be a place of refuge, a sanctuary where you could find love, support, and community. But instead, you felt manipulated, used, or simply unseen. You may have given so much of yourself, only to be left questioning whether the care you were offered was ever real. Maybe, like me, you’ve faced the harsh realization that some places and people who claim to represent Jesus aren’t truly reflecting His love at all.

The Growth Plan and the Panic.
I’ve been writing for a while, but this year I started taking it seriously. I mapped out a vision. I showed up more. I started building something that mattered to me.

A Love Worth Waiting For.
There’s a kind of love that doesn’t disrupt your peace—it folds into it. A love that prays beside you, not just for you.
