There’s something magical about cutting up magazines with no plan in mind.

No pressure or perfection. Just colors, shapes, and whatever catches my eye in the moment.

This is mindful creativity—where I let go of the “should” and just play. It’s one of my favorite ways to tap into joy, explore what I’m feeling, and create something beautifully unexpected.

What you’re watching is called chance collage, a mindful creative practice for bringing my thoughts back to the present.

What about you? Do you have a creative practice that helps you feel more grounded? I’d love to hear what works for you!

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭8‬

“Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.” - Carl Sandburg

Whose expectations are you living up to?

If you’re tired of the same patterns on repeat… if you want *something* but can’t name what… if you’ve been lying to yourself about what you actually need… you’re not alone.

That restlessness isn’t asking you to have it all figured out. It’s asking you to get curious about what you’ve been avoiding.

24 years later and it still hits heavy.

Thinking of every life forever changed that day and praying for our country—and our world—amid so much hard news right now. 🙏

"We know too much and feel too little." - Bertrand Russell

These words struck me as I read them. As someone who has struggled to get in touch with her full emotions, I was challenged by "feeling too little."

In our AI age, information is at our fingertips. Too often I find myself turning to AI first for answers instead of God, myself, my partner... the relationships and emotions that make us human.

While hard emotions make many uncomfortable (including me), I've learned to embrace them over the years. As an Enneagram 7 with avoidant attachment, getting back in touch with my emotions over the past 12 years hasn't come easy. I'm still far from great at it.

But I'm grateful for the changes and committed to continuing this work - because as Russell says, a good life springs from those creative emotions.

Are you in touch with your emotions? If you've had to "work at it" like me, what ways have you discovered to get more in-tune, and how has that affected your life?

Sometimes the very thing we resist - stepping up, pouring ourselves out, saying “yes” when it costs us - ends up being the doorway to joy. As the author (my hubs) put it:

“Who would have thought that the opportunity to pour my life out for others would be just as great of a gift to me as my service was to them.”

Well-being isn’t just about how I feel or what I need. It’s about how we show up for each other. When our gifts, love, and lived experiences intersect with someone else’s real need, everybody rises.

Happy Labor Day and Hello September! I pray everyone has a blessed day!

What is something you're looking forward to this month?

I'm looking forward to seeing my family soon! 😍

If you didn't know, we moved to San Antonio four years ago, where we knew no one. So being able to see my family is a rare and special treat! 🥰 🥳

You have control over one thing in life: yourself. And honestly? That’s everything.

Your experiences don’t define you. What you choose to do with them does. The tough stuff, the good stuff, all of it - it’s raw material. You get to decide what you build with it.

Look - nobody gets it right 100% of the time. That’s not the point. The point is showing up to the next moment and choosing again.

What are you going to do with your experiences?

Perspective doesn’t change your situation - it changes you in the middle of it. And when you change, everything else starts to shift too.

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and get new perspective, let’s talk! Book a discovery call with me to get some clarity and move forward. Link to book in the comments below 👇

Perspective helps you see opportunity where others only see problems. A dead end can actually become the path leading you somewhere new.

I’m so grateful Jesus has never given up on me, even in all my rebellion and the times I’ve turned away. He’s brought me through a lot!

This month, I’m choosing to pay closer attention to the words I say, slowing down before I speak and considering if my words are life giving or necessary. 💕
