Morning Whispers

January 7, 2025 · Leave a Comment
Filed Under: inspiration, poetry

The washer whirls and the dryer hums, Moving in quiet competition. The kitchen lights are turned down low, While the morning sky holds tints of winter blue. In the living room, swaddled girls are held. Sleepy breaths stir the air, And morning whispers float around. Toasted bread and creamy coffee, One more serving, please? The… [Read More]

The Warmth of Motherhood

December 15, 2024 · 6 Comments
Filed Under: Faith, mamahood, poetry

Today, she noticed the warmth of motherhood. The growing up.The new routines.The leaning in.The stepping back. That special smile.New muscles gained.The simple silence.More joyful noises. A noticed sunrise.A release of strong will.More questions written.More thanks proclaimed. The hugs that linger.The growth that’s invisible.The silent prayers.The shouted prayers! An unexpected verse.A glimmer of hope, this season… [Read More]

Years ago, like literally 16 years ago, I started an Etsy shop called Gussy Sews. It was 2008 and I had just discovered the handmade scene of Etsy. Etsy was still a new concept, and designing a zipped pouch with ruffles on the front (to hold my purse essentials) was my newest creative project. I… [Read More]

We have lived so many beautiful days since my last post, one year ago. There’s a lot to catch up on, and what a gift it is to be able to write this with such gratitude. Is there even an easy way to summarize the last 13 months? If there are just two sentences I… [Read More]
