Roots & Wings

That longing used to make me uncomfortable. Somewhere along the way, humility got tangled up with pretending you do not want the big thing, the loud thing, the shiny thing. But ambition, when it is rooted in purpose, is not arrogance. It is honesty.

Thirteen years of marriage is symbolized by lace—a material known for its intricate beauty, and the kind of care it takes to last. And maybe that’s what makes this season feel so significant: I’ve learned that the same patience, creativity, and faith it takes to nurture a relationship… is what it takes to nurture a dream.

I used to tuck my victories into smaller and smaller pockets, worried that joy would weigh too heavy in the wrong hands.

Life's weight feels heavy in 2025, but I'm stepping forward with creativity, purpose, and grace.
