Happy Birthday To Me

Today is my birthday.

I'm celebrating by surrounding myself by people I care about, wrapping myself in their words, arms, and thoughts.

After a hectic (but wonderful) few weeks, I'm giving myself a bit of a break. I'm not writing about what I want to be different about this year, or catching you up on all that's new. I'm practicing being present today, being at rest, and being suspended in the joy that comes from know you're right where you should be.

I hope that for all of you as well.

The past few weeks have been busy, however, and I have a few pieces of writing that have popped up all over the internet. I'd be honored to have you check them out, if you've missed them.

Thanks so much for being along for this journey, friends.

I wrote my story about Reclaiming Eve for Suzanne Burden as part of her series. It was scary, but the fruit of those realizations have begun to transform my year, and my life.

I wrote about dating, being myself and learning that I am a good idea that God had for the Junia Project.

I wrote about my complicated thoughts about weddings for You Are Here.

I told some of my church love story for Ed Cyzewski as part of his Denomination Derby series.

I wrote for Cara Meredith about one of my rituals, it's a little outside the box.

I wrote a little about the resolutions that chose me in January for The Mudroom.

I shared stories from all the dates I went on in January at the request of Tim Fall.

I like to think that there's a little something here for everyone.

Be well, friends.
