    The Mission of True and Lovely Co.

    True and Lovely Co. turned three years old back in April(which is kind of wild). I’ve shared how this ministry got started, but I’ve never really talked in-depth about the mission of True and Lovely Co. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to share it, but it can be hard when Instagram limits characters and doesn’t give a lot of…

    Woah, it’s 2022

    Wow, it’s been almost a year since I published a blog post. That seems impossible, but metadata doesn’t lie and here we are. It would take me forever to go into everything that has changed over the last year, so here are some of the big things, in no specific order. I left higher education after nearly 10 years in…

    April Set-Up

    Say goodbye to March, and hello to April- it’s time for the April Set-Up! Each month, I like to share a quick overview of the previous month, share something I learned, and go through how I’m going to “set-up” for the next month. Let’s go! March Recap March flew by.

    God, Give Me a Sign

    Have you ever just thrown your hands up in frustration or overwhelm? Pleading, “God, give me a sign you’re there, please!” I know I have. There have been times in my life where things are so chaotic I plead for some kind of sign from God. “God, are you there? Do you hear me?” I think a lot of Christians…

    Is Hustle Worth It?

    Hustle. It’s something we’ve all heard of. Not the “run faster, hustle up, get going” type hustle, but the “keep grinding, get it done, no quit” hustle.  “The hustle” is something that works for some aspects of life, but it has migrated into aspects of life that don’t really need a hustle. If you’re working towards a goal, it’s important…

    March Set-Up

    With February behind us, it’s time for the March Set-Up! Each month, I like to share a quick overview of the previous month, share something I learned, and go through how I’m going to “set-up” for the next month. Let’s get into it! Somehow, February flew by and dragged on at the same time. I had goals to clean a…

    Why I Don’t Share My Child on Instagram

    Today’s post is all about why I don’t share my child on Instagram. For some reason, this is controversial no matter what side you fall on. If you share your kids, people may say you over-share or are putting your kids at risk. If you don’t share your kids, people may say you’re too private or secretive. I want to…

    Finding Joy in Anxiety

    Anxiety. When I asked my audience what topics they wanted to read about on my blog, the most common answer was anxiety. Anxiety isn’t something new to me, and it’s something a large majority of the population deal with, whether as a feeling or a diagnosed disorder. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, 40 million American adults…

    February Goals

    January is coming to a close and I thought I would take some time set February goals. I’d like this to be something I do monthly as a way to reflect and make changes as necessary moving forward. Each month, I’ll identify a couple of goals or habits I want to take into the next month. Let’s get started! February…
