š The Devil Doesnāt Wear Prada, He Wears Distractions
Letās be honest: If the enemy wanted to ruin your life, he wouldnāt show up in red horns and a pitchfork. Heād show up as a push notification. Or a perfectly filtered reel of someone elseās āsoft lifeā while youāre three days deep into dry shampoo and living off Ding Dongs and anxiety. Heād show …

I Googled āIs This Menopause or Possession?ā at 2AM
A dramatic retelling of a hormonal haunting. Let me set the scene. Itās 2AM. My husband is snoring like a buzzsaw beside me, Samuel the cat is perched on my chest making biscuits like heās kneading out my sanity, and Iām staring into the cold blue light of my phone screen whispering: āIs this menopause …

š āYes, These Shoes Saved My Sanityā: When Shallow Is Actually Soul-Care
Let me set the scene. I was on the couch ā not in a cute, cozy, Hallmark-movie way, but more like mid-scroll potato mode. My hair was doing its own thing (bless her), my motivation had taken a personal day, and my mental state could best be described as āif a sigh were a person.ā …

āļøThe Sermon Wasnāt for Me (Until It Was)
Iāll be honestāwhen the sermon started, I was watching the livestream more out of habit than hunger. I was traveling, sitting cross-legged in the truck seat with my pink glasses slowly but surely sliding down my nose, coffee in hand, and already half-distracted by all of the bumps in the road. Then the pastor opened …

āØMiddle-Aged Magic: What I Know Now That I Didn’t at 35
Because the glow-up didnāt stop at 40 ā it just got better lighting, better snacks, and better boundaries. Back in my early 30s, I was deep in the trenches. The diaper bags were packed, the car seats were installed, and I was basically fueled by goldfish crackers and caffeine. I had mastered survival mode, but …

Notes App Confessions: Things I Google at Midnightš¤
Last night I tossed, I turned, I flipped my pillow to the cool side, and when sleep refused to show up, I did what any rational adult would doāI went straight to the internet.

š Fall Finally Showed Upā¦ and So Did My Shopping Problem
YāALL. It took forever for the first day of fall. I donāt know what the calendar says up north, but here in Florida, itās still summer's stubborn little sister. No matter the temperature though the candles are lit, and my cart (physical and digital) is overflowing with things I absolutely do not needā¦ and absolutely …

My Faith is Strongā¦ But So Is My Side Eye
A devotional for the overly expressive and spiritually committed Listen, I love the Lord with all my heart. Iāve been saved, sanctified, and personally baptized in a church where the fans had scripture on one side and Sister Louise's biscuit recipe on the back. I know the Word, I try to walk in grace, and …

š¬A Year-Round Hallmark Habit (And Why Iām Not Ashamed)
Some people have wine cellars. Some people have a color-coded planner collection. Me? I have the Hallmark Channel. Yes, I said it. Iām that girl who watches Christmas movies in June, cries happy tears over small-town tree lightings in August, and believes that everyone secretly wants to marry the guy who owns the struggling bakery. …
