Come Matter Here by Hannah Brencher
I had the privilege of being part of Hannah Brencher's book launch for Come Matter Here. It's for those in a season of transition and those in a season of waiting. It's for questioning. It speaks on community and mental health and faith and being present. It's an anchor and it's wings. It's beautiful. And… Continue reading Come Matter Here by Hannah Brencher
The blehhhhhhh of plan B
Plan A was to write this blogpost about Plan B. Then my boyfriend said, "Not like going to the pharmacy for Plan B?" and then Plan B was to preface this blogpost with this paragraph. No, it has nothing to do with pharmacy plan B! Okay, now that we've got that cleared up..... Plan A was… Continue reading The blehhhhhhh of plan B
Today I’m Not Strong
I'm not sure when it happened. There's no moment I can pinpoint, no catalyst to blame. Or maybe there's too many. Did it happen when I lost my dream? When I lost my community? When I lost my future?

To grow and change and become who I want to be, slowly but surely seeing the steps. I do the New Year… Continue reading Small Change for Great Change
Playing Tag with Change
I used to chase change. Did we all? But life teaches us. Life teaches us wrong. To run from change. I'm trying to chase change again. Like a great game of tag, this back and forth. "Tag, you're it." I catch change and then I run, til it catches me and I decide to chase… Continue reading Playing Tag with Change
This Place of Wrestling
How many of you noticed I didn't post last week? Raise your hand. *Raises hand* No? no one? just me? Would you believe that, after over a year of regular posting, I actually forgot I didn't have a post ready for last Thursday? Would you believe that I'm figuring out this whole writing thing and… Continue reading This Place of Wrestling
3 Reasons You Should Still Consider Eureka College
Things are heating up in the world of Eurekans, but as of right now mostly only students, staff, and alum are aware of any of it. Eureka College is a small private college with its largest boast probably being the great faculty-student ratio that provides a more personal environment with many leadership opportunities.

Between
Everyone else thought she had escaped just in time, leaving them and their scoffings to the pain they now experienced. Or so she told herself. She wished her view confirmed their alleged thoughts, but really that was merely a hypothetical audience that could not exist. The people she actually saw through the impenetrable iron gate… Continue reading Between
