In this very instant, you are held by heaven. All of you is. Every single part; the parts you hold out for the world to see and the parts you try and hide. You are loved in every breath, every moment, every fibre. The arms of God are not too short to hold all of you close to His beating and giant heart. So breathe in the grace of it all and know that you are…

You are lovely. When you look in the mirror, do you see it? That there is this trail of beauty, joy and hope that you leave wherever you go. That you weren’t just made for moments where you feel lovely. You were made to live out of the overflow that you are lovely today, in the mess and in the light, because you are loved just as you are…

All of you is beautiful. In every feature. In all your form. From your head down to your toes. Those little features we don’t often think about. With every single hair on your head. You are beautiful in the way that you open your eyes every morning, in the way you light up with passion, in the way that you never give up and in the very way that your chest…

You just had a baby. Your clothes don’t fit the same way. Your eyes are tired. Your hair is thrown together in a top bun on the best of days. You're wondering whose body this is because you don’t completely feel like yourself. You may feel like the last thing you want to be is photographed. “Give me five months, give me a year.” And so you gladly…

Time and time again, I have seen how thankfulness makes life rich. When we take the time to count the gifts we have, it's like painting colour in our perspective. It speaks life and courage into our bones to keep on going and to live life well. We forget. It takes reminders like post-it notes, writing it down, saying it out loud to convince us again. To…

If you're telling me about your day at school, I will listen. I promise. If you're venting because you aren't getting along with your friend, I will listen. I promise. If you're bouncing ideas off of me for what to get Dad for a birthday present, I will listen. I promise. If you're saying why you're afraid of something, I will listen. I promise. If you're talking to your…

Would you consider yourself to be a positive person? Are you generally happy? Are you free of negativity? Positivity is the key to a successful life. It allows us to reach our full potential and be proud of who we really are. Positivity is what we should all strive for, and if we have it already - it's what we should all continue holding on to. It's what…

There are stories weaved everywhere. Stories of why people do what they do, how they got where they are and what pushes them ahead. Rebecca and Brian own a beef farm and they also cash crop, They grow corn and soybeans. Little Wyatt gets to help out there. They call him the boss. He "helps” to feed the cows and…

A few weeks ago I was just back from vacation and struggling to serve everyone around me. I was juggling work, home, hobbies and trying so hard to get through a great book. And I made mistakes. So I had to step back and reassess my goals. I had to allow myself to say no. I missed a timeline, and let it go willingly. Then I made a decision…

I see so many of us do it and I see it in myself. We look at our bodies, souls and spirits in the mirror of our strongest and fiercest critic. We pick and pull apart everything that does not scream perfection. And this voice, this voice that at time resembles more of a bully than an ally, gets in our corners and pours out in a fury…

You are so beyond powerful. Trust me. You are so strong, so determined, so beautiful, so raw. You are so authentic, so kind, and so passionate. Why are you all these things? Because you are a girl. You were carefully thought out and crafted into something special. Trust me, you were made for a reason. Women are such wonderful…

New life is so amazing. There is something beautiful about bringing a small human into this world. There is something beautiful about having your heart outside your body in the form of a newborn baby. There is something so beautiful about new life, and it deserves a celebration. Whether you’ve delivered many children before or it’s…
