What AI Taught Me About Myself
On Thanksgiving, there was an ad during one of the football games about ChatGPT. On a whim, I decided to download it and see how it perceived my current writing project. It was a WILD experience seeing my characters shown back to me in a way that was like taking a personality test for them.…

“For Purple Mountains Majesty…”
Last weekend, I had the honor of going to my favorite area of Colorado for the 5th time. This was my third time going for a women’s conference, and it seems as though every time I go for a conference, I fall more in love with the area. Obviously, I love visiting, but something about…

“Go Hard.”
Over the last two weeks, I’ve had a culmination of all my inner frustrations and disappointments hit me and cause such an intense blockage in my soul that it was what my pastor likes to call “a crisis of character.” And boy howdy, it was that. When I start to daydream about running away from…

‘Enjoy Yourself’
This year, the Lord told me to make sure to schedule some time off to enjoy my life, my family, and my friends. It started off small; I planned a weekend away with my two best friends. From there, it kind of snowballed. My mom and I are planning two trips to see her parents…

Sitting, Wishing, Waiting
It’s amazing what happens when I don’t blog for almost a whole week. It’s like a whole week of life happens. Last weekend, my friend Rachel sold her books at SantaCaliGon Days in Independence, Missouri, and I volunteered to be the main helper. It was one of the worst weekends to sell books weather-wise, but…
