In Faith and the in-Between

There’s a tender space between what was and what’s not yet. A space where the old chapter has gently closed, but the new one hasn’t fully settled in. I’m living in that space right now. We’ve moved.

It reflected not just where I lived, but how I lived… soft, feminine, surrounded by the feminine comforts I loved. Now, life has changed. After 10 wonderful years on the coast, my husband, and I felt the gentle pull towards something different. We sold our home. We let go of many things. And … Read the full blog post
